- | '''Max Carl Adolf von Sydow''', (born 10 April 1929 in [[Lund]]) is a [[Swedish actor]] (also [[French people|French]], since obtaining citizenship in 2002), known in particular for his collaboration with filmmaker [[Ingmar Bergman]]. He has acted in films as diverse as ''[[The Seventh Seal]]'', ''[[Wild Strawberries]]'', ''[[Hour of the Wolf]]'', ''[[Illustrious Corpses]]'', ''[[Death Watch]]'', ''[[Hannah and Her Sisters]]'', ''[[What Dreams May Come (film)|What Dreams May Come]]'' and ''[[Minority Report (film)|Minority Report]]''. | + | '''Max von Sydow''' (born '''Carl Adolf von Sydow'''; 10 April 1929 – 8 March 2020) was a French-Swedish actor who appeared in European and American films. Von Sydow featured in more than 100 films and TV series. His most memorable film roles include Knight Antonius Block in [[Ingmar Bergman]]'s ''[[The Seventh Seal]]'' (1957), the earliest of 11 films he made with Bergman, which includes iconic scenes in which his character plays chess with Death. |
- | ==Biography== | + | He also played [[Jesus Christ]] in [[George Stevens]]' ''[[The Greatest Story Ever Told]]'' (1965) and also appeared in [[William Friedkin]]'s ''[[The Exorcist (film)|The Exorcist]]'', [[David Lynch]]'s ''[[Dune (1984 film)|Dune]]'' (1984), [[Woody Allen]]'s ''[[Hannah and Her Sisters]]'' (1986), [[Penny Marshall]]'s ''[[Awakenings]]'' (1990), [[Steven Spielberg]]'s ''[[Minority Report (film)|Minority Report]]'' (2002), [[Julian Schnabel]]'s ''[[The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (film)|The Diving Bell and the Butterfly]]'' (2007), and [[Martin Scorsese]]'s ''[[Shutter Island (film)|Shutter Island]]'' (2010). He later appeared in ''[[Star Wars: The Force Awakens]]'' and in [[HBO]]'s ''[[Game of Thrones]]'' as [[Three-eyed Raven]], for which he received a [[Primetime Emmy Award]] nomination. |
- | ===Early life=== | + | |
- | Von Sydow was born '''Carl Adolf von Sydow''' to a wealthy family in [[Lund]], [[Scania|Skåne]], Sweden. His father, Carl Wilhelm von Sydow, was an [[ethnologist]] and professor of Irish, Scandinavian, and comparative folklore at the [[Lund University|University of Lund]]. His mother, Baroness Greta ([[married and maiden names|née]] Rappe), was a school teacher. Von Sydow was raised [[Lutheran]] and later became an [[agnostic]]. Little material is available on his childhood, except that he was apparently a shy, quiet child with no siblings. | + | |
- | He attended the [[Katedralskolan (Lund)|Cathedral School]] of Lund, and learned German and English starting at the age of nine. At school, he and some friends founded an amateur theatre company, where his acting career began. He completed National Service before going on to study at The [[Royal Dramatic Theatre]] ("Dramaten") in Stockholm, where he trained between 1948 and 1951 with the likes of [[Lars Ekborg]], [[Margaretha Krook]] and [[Ingrid Thulin]]. During his time at Dramaten, he made his screen debut in [[Alf Sjöberg]]'s films ''Only a Mother'' (''Bara en mor'', 1949), and ''[[Miss Julie]]'' (''Fröken Julie'', 1951), a screen version of Swedish playwright [[August Strindberg]]'s well known play. | + | Throughout his long career he received two [[Academy Award]] nominations for his performances in ''[[Pelle the Conqueror]]'' (1987) and ''[[Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (film)|Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close]]'' (2011). |
- | ===Career=== | + | Von Sydow received the Royal Foundation of Sweden's Cultural Award in 1954, was made a ''{{lang|fr|Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres}}'' in 2005, and was named a ''{{lang|fr|[[Legion of Honour|Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur]]}}'' on 17 October 2012. Von Sydow became a French citizen after his second marriage. |
- | In 1955, von Sydow moved to [[Malmö]], where he met his mentor [[Ingmar Bergman]]. His first work with Bergman occurred on stage at the Malmö Municipal Theatre. Von Sydow later would work with Bergman on films such as ''[[The Seventh Seal]]'' (''Det sjunde inseglet'', 1957), ''[[Wild Strawberries (movie)|Wild Strawberries]]'' (''Smultronstället'', 1957) and ''[[The Virgin Spring]]'' (''Jungfrukällan'', 1960). In ''[[The Seventh Seal]]'', von Sydow is the knight who plays a [[chess]] game with Death to buy time for his companions -- a scene and a film which were both breakthroughs for the director. | + | |
- | It was in these [[films]] that von Sydow perfected his craft, beginning to display the great talent that enabled a 53-year screen career. Von Sydow came to dominate the screen as he did on stage, becoming an idol of the international arthouse. Critical recognition came as early as 1954 when he was awarded the Royal Foundation Culture Award. Von Sydow worked profusely on stage and screen in [[Scandinavia]] and resisted increasing calls from the United States to go to [[Hollywood]]. After being seen in Bergman's [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]]-winning films and having been first choice for the title role of ''[[Dr. No (film)|Dr. No]]'', von Sydow finally went to America after agreeing to star in the film which was to lead to much greater recognition, in the role of [[Jesus]] in [[George Stevens]]' grandly titled, all-star epic ''[[The Greatest Story Ever Told]]'' (1965). Because his talents were soon in demand in other American productions, von Sydow and his family eventually moved to Los Angeles. | + | == Filmography == |

- | From 1965, von Sydow became a regular on the American screen while maintaining a presence in his native Sweden. In 1969 he appeared in [[John Huston]]'s ''[[The Kremlin Letter]]''. Though perhaps typecast as a villain, he was rewarded in the United States with two [[Golden Globe]] nominations for ''[[Hawaii (film)|Hawaii]]'' and ''[[The Exorcist (film)|The Exorcist]]'' in 1973. In the mid 1970s, von Sydow moved to Rome and appeared in a number of Italian films, becoming friendly with another screen legend, [[Marcello Mastroianni]]. In the U.S., he played a memorably professional [[Alsace|Alsatia]]n assassin in ''[[Three Days of the Condor]]'' (1975). In the late 1970s and early 1980s, von Sydow appeared in both serious films, such as [[Woody Allen]]'s ''[[Hannah and Her Sisters]]'' (1986) and [[David Lynch]]'s ''[[Dune (film)|Dune]]'' (1984), and less serious ones, like ''[[Flash Gordon (film)|Flash Gordon]]'' (1980) and ''[[Strange Brew]]'' (1983). | + | |} |
- | + | ||
- | Von Sydow has since won The [[Australian Film Institute]] Best Actor Award for his title role in ''[[Father (film)|Father]]'' (1989), the Guldbagge Best Director Award for his only directorial foray ''Katinka'' (''Ved vejen'', 1988), based on a novel by [[Herman Bang]], and the Best Actor Award at The Tokyo International Film Festival for ''The Silent Touch'' (''Dotknięcie ręki'', 1993). | + | |
- | + | ||
- | He received international acclaim for his performance as [[Nobel Prize]]-winning novelist [[Knut Hamsun]] in [[Jan Troell]]'s biopic ''[[Hamsun (film)|Hamsun]]''. He received his third Swedish Guldbagge and his second Danish Bodil for his depiction of a character often described as his [[King Lear]]. In 1996, von Sydow starred in [[Liv Ullmann]]'s ''Private Confessions'' (''Enskilda samtal''). Back in Hollywood, he appeared in ''[[What Dreams May Come (film)|What Dreams May Come]]'' in a role which was something of a tip of the hat to his performance in ''The Exorcist''. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | He was acclaimed for his role as an elderly lawyer in [[Scott Hicks]]' [[Snow Falling on Cedars (film)|''Snow Falling on Cedars'']]. In 2002, von Sydow had one of his largest commercial successes, co-starring with [[Tom Cruise]] in [[Steven Spielberg]]'s widely popular [[science fiction|sci-fi]] [[Thriller (genre)|thriller]] ''[[Minority Report (movie)|Minority Report]]''. In 2003, he played mentor character ''Eyvind'' in the European TV adaptation of the [[Der Ring des Nibelungen|Ring of the Nibelung]] saga. The show set ratings records and was released in the USA as ''[[Dark Kingdom: The Dragon King]]''. In 2007, von Sydow starred in the box-office hit ''[[Rush Hour 3]]''. He followed that with [[Julian Schnabel]]'s award-winning foreign film ''[[The Diving Bell and the Butterfly]]'', based on the memoir by [[Jean-Dominique Bauby]]. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Von Sydow will next star in ''[[Truth & Treason]]'', opposite [[Haley Joel Osment]]. The film will be based on [[Helmuth Hübener]]'s life during [[World War II]]. He has also been recently cast as Josiah Kane in ''[[Soloman Kane]]'', based on the story and characters by [[Robert E. Howard]]. In February 2008, von Sydow was cast in [[Martin Scorsese]]'s film adaptation of ''[[Shutter Island (film)|Shutter Island]]''. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Von Sydow has recently joined the the third season of [[Showtime]]'s drama series ''[[The Tudors]]''. Sydow will portray Cardinal Von Waldburg, a German-born clergyman who tries to organize the defeat of [[King Henry VIII]]. Von Sydow is due to appear in four of the eight episodes. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ===Personal life=== | + | |
- | In 1 Aug 1951, von Sydow married actress [[Kerstin Olin]], with whom he had two sons, Clas S. von Sydow and Henrik von Sydow. His children appeared with him in the film ''[[Hawaii (film)|Hawaii]]'', playing his son at different ages. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Von Sydow was divorced in 1996 and married French filmmaker [[Catherine Brelet]] in 30 April 1997 in [[Provence]], France. He has two sons, Yvan and Cedric, with his second wife. Von Sydow currently lives with his wife in Paris, where he enjoys reading, listening to music and gardening.

Max von Sydow (born Carl Adolf von Sydow; 10 April 1929 – 8 March 2020) was a French-Swedish actor who appeared in European and American films. Von Sydow featured in more than 100 films and TV series. His most memorable film roles include Knight Antonius Block in Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal (1957), the earliest of 11 films he made with Bergman, which includes iconic scenes in which his character plays chess with Death.
He also played Jesus Christ in George Stevens' The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) and also appeared in William Friedkin's The Exorcist, David Lynch's Dune (1984), Woody Allen's Hannah and Her Sisters (1986), Penny Marshall's Awakenings (1990), Steven Spielberg's Minority Report (2002), Julian Schnabel's The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007), and Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island (2010). He later appeared in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and in HBO's Game of Thrones as Three-eyed Raven, for which he received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination.
Throughout his long career he received two Academy Award nominations for his performances in Pelle the Conqueror (1987) and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2011).
Von Sydow received the Royal Foundation of Sweden's Cultural Award in 1954, was made a Template:Lang in 2005, and was named a Template:Lang on 17 October 2012. Von Sydow became a French citizen after his second marriage.
