Biography

Gunnar Tolnæs was a trained actor with an extensive career on the stage, including Nationalteatret in Oslo. Made his film debut in Swedish films working with Mauritz Stiller and Victor Sjöström. Came to Denmark in 1915 and worked exclusively for Nordisk Film, where he soon became their biggest attraction after Valdemar Psilander left the studio in 1916. A favorite with the ladies the tall, stately Norwegian with the slumbering eyes thrilled audiences playing men of authority especially maharajahs in a string of dramas. However, having made a fortune and growing tired of 'sheik films',as he called them, he retired early.
