Movies with Sten Ljunggren

Sten Ljunggren is a Swedish character actor whose chameleon-like versatility has allowed him to inhabit an impressive range of roles over his prolific career. From the suave, calculating criminal inspector Lennart Thorin in the TV mini-series based on the Lasermannen events, to the warm, grandfatherly retired doctor Axel Holtman in Skärgårdsdoktorn, Ljunggren demonstrates an uncanny ability to fully embody each of his diverse characters. Equally adept at both leading and supporting parts, Ljunggren has lent his distinctive baritone voice to iconic animated figures like Carl Fredricksen in the Swedish dub of Up and the villainous Sykes in the Swedish version of Oliver & Company. Yet he's also chillingly brought to life complex antagonists, such as the stern, authority-abusing principal in the Kenny Starfighter films. Ljunggren's remarkable talent for disappearing into his roles, combined with his magnetic screen presence, has made him a beloved fixture in Swedish cinema for decades. From the historical drama Kronprinsen och tyrannens återkomst to the darkly comedic Arne Meets Death, Ljunggren's filmography is a testament to his remarkable range and commitment to his craft. Whether playing a working-class everyman or a ruthless authority figure, he infuses each performance with a captivating authenticity that firmly establishes him as one of Sweden's most acclaimed and versatile character actors.
