Von Sydow's genre credentials of interest are almost too numerous to list, but include the following: Von Sydow was also happy to play both large and small roles, to be the leading man or part of an ensemble. Noted as an intense, dramatic actor von Sydow also had a wickedly funny side that the right roles could bring out, as his superb, scene-chewing performances in Flash Gordon (1980) and Conan the Barbarian (1982) can attest. Max von Sydow soon became a favourite of genre producers and directors for his gravitas, memorable voice and his consummate professionalism: no matter how hokey the script or premise, von Sydow could be relied upon to always bring his A-game. From 1965 onwards von Sydow maintained a foot in both American and European cinema, frequently moving between them as projects came up that attracted his interest. He resisted such calls until 1965, when he was cast as Jesus in The Greatest Story Ever Told. Von Sydow found himself in demand in the United States and UK, even being asked to play the title villain in the very first James Bond movie, Dr. The Seventh Seal was an international hit and a major breakthrough for Bergman and von Sydow, as well as Swedish cinema in general. Their most famous collaboration came in 1957 with The Seventh Seal, where Bergman plays a knight who tries to avoid dying by playing a chess game against a personification of Death. He met Ingmar Bergman in Malmö in 1955 and they became friends and close collaborators. He made his screen debut in Alf Sjöberg's film Only a Mother in 1949. Max von Sydow was born in Sweden in 1929 and began acting in school and then in the theatre.
