Alf Kjellin

director, actor, writer

Alf Kjellin was born on Feb 28, 1920 in Sweden. Alf Kjellin's big-screen debut came with The Great John Ericsson directed by Gustaf Edgren in 1937, strarring Young man on Delamater's office (uncredited). Alf Kjellin is known for Two Living, One Dead directed by Anthony Asquith, Virginia McKenna stars as Helen Berger and Bill Travers as Andersson. The upcoming new movie Alf Kjellin plays is Zandy's Bride which will be released on May 19, 1974.

Although trained for the stage in his native Sweden, Alf Kjellin appeared in only a few stage productions before entering films. His work in Tourments (1944) resulted in his being noticed by Hollywood, and he made his American film debut in 1949 under the name Christopher Kent. He soon went back to using his real name, and though he made several more Hollywood films, he worked mainly out of Sweden, both as an actor and director. In the early 1960s he finally settled in Hollywood. Although he acted in and directed a few feature films, the main body of his work consisted of directing made-for-TV movies (one of his better ones being the clever psychological thriller The Deadly Dream (1971)) and appearing as a guest star--often as a villain--in TV series.
