Career
Career
Bjelfvenstam began his acting career in the theater in Uppsala. He studied first with the Axel Witzanskys theater school from 1949-1950. Later, we worked at Malmö City Theater between 1953 and 1957 under Ingmar Bergman's leadership. In the 1950s, he appeared in our films directed by Bergman. He is probably best-known for his large supporting roles in the Bergman film classics Smiles of a Summer Night (1955) and Wild Strawberries (1957). His older brother was the director, writer and author Bo Bjelfvenstam.
