‚He controls his demons with the utmost degree of discipline; never allowing them to roam free in his private life, only unleashing them on stage.‘
Ingmar Bergman
Von Sydow on his relationship to Ingmar Bergman:  We are friends. We have worked together extensively, both on stage and in films, most of which took place when we were both much younger. We were free, he was not yet world-renowned and I was nothing more than a common theatre actor with a few film roles under my belt. We worked hard and enjoyed ourselves.

Max von Sydow

One of the best-known Swedish actors from the Post-War period, von Sydow played the lead in several of Ingmar Bergman’s film and stage productions between 1955 and 1972.- ingmarbergman.se

Born Carl Adolf von Sydow on 10 April 1929 in Lund in southern Sweden, he was the only child in father Carl Wilhelm von Sydow’s second marriage. His father was a professor of ethnography at Lund University and his mother was a grammar school teacher.

At the age of 15, von Sydow attended a performance of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the newly opened Malmö City Theatre. Being inspired by this experience, he started amateur theatre company Scenia with a few of his friends, and they staged plays by August Strindberg, Pär Lagerkvist and Hjalmar Bergman.
