Max von Sydow stars as Cardinal Von Waldburg on Showtime's "The Tudors."

An internationally recognized screen star, Max von Sydow studied acting at the Swedish Royal Dramatic Theater School. Max von Sydow made his film debut in Alf Sjöberg's 1949 "Bara En Mor," but it was his devotion to the theatre during the 1950s that earned him a reputation as a fine classical stage actor. At that time Max von Sydow met director Ingmar Bergman, with whom he would collaborate on some of his soon-to-be best known and most memorable work. The two began a long professional relationship with the 1957 film "The Seventh Seal" and Max von Sydow soon became the cornerstone of Bergman's group of performers. Their early collaborations included "Wild Strawberries," "Brink of Life," "The Magician," "The Virgin Spring," "Through a Glass," "Darkly" and "Winter Light."

In 1960, Max von Sydow became a member of the Royal Dramatic Theater of Stockholm, and he has continued his ties to the stage to this day. In the mid-1960s, Max von Sydow was drawn to Hollywood, debuting as Christ in George Stevens' mammoth "The Greatest Story Ever Told." Max von Sydow's additional screen credits include "The Quiller Memorandum," "Hawaii," "The Exorcist," "Hour of the Wolf," "Shame," "The Passion of Anna" and "The Touch." In the '70s, Max von Sydow appeared in "Steppenwolf," "Three Days of The Condor" and "The Hurricane," Most recently, Max von Sydow starred in the stage and screen productions of "Duet For One" and his Oscar-nominated role in "Pelle the Conqueror."
