Actor. He appeared in some 101 films from 1929 to 1976. He is mainly remembered for his role of 'Professor Otto Martens' in the Danish film version of "Reptilicus" (1961). The film directed by Poul Bang (Sydney W. Pink directed the American version) tells the story of Danish copper miners who dig up a section of a giant reptile's tail from the frozen grounds in Lapland, where they are drilling. The section is flown to the Danish Aquarium in Copenhagen, where it is preserved in a cold room for scientific study. But due to careless mishandling, the room is left open and the section begins to thaw, only for scientists to find that it is starting to regenerate. The science fiction feature was filmed at Saga Studios in Denmark and cost a whopping $100,000 to make. It was released to the general public on February 20, 1961.
