Biography:A longtime friend of Swedish filmmaker "Ingmar Bergman", actor "Erland Josephson" starred in six of the director's best films, including "The Passion of Anna" (1970), "Cries and Whispers" (1972), "Scenes From a Marriage" (1973), and "Fanny and Alexander" (1982). In these films and others, the aristocratic Josephson came to embody one type of Bergman protagonist: the modern neurotic man, aloof, introspective, and thoroughly self-centered. Writing under the nom de plume of Buntel Erik, Josephson co-scripted "The Pleasure Garden" (1961) with Bergman and "All These Women" (1964), and under his own name has penned several novels, poems and plays. Active in films outside his native Sweden, Josephson's most famous non-Bergman film role was in the U.S. production "The Unbearable Lightness of Being"; he also played a prominent part in "Peter Greenaway"'s "Prospero's Books" (1991).
