Gunnar Tolnaes


1879 - 1940

 .
.
The actor Gunnar Tolnaes was born in Oslo, Norway. 
In the middle of the 10's he conquered the Denish film market and was very successful with movies like "Bröderna" (14), "Halvblod" (14), "Doktor X" (15), "Den mystiske tjener" (17) and "Himmelskibet - Das Himmelsschiff" (18). The Denish movie industry was an international super power in those years and was very success especially in Germany. 

In the 20's, when Denmark gradually lost his supremacy in Europe, Gunnar Tolnaes' movies had also less success. He appeared among others in the movies "Stodderprinsessen" (20), "Kan disse ojne lyve?" (21), "Min ven privatdetektiven" (24), "Det sovende Hus - Das verlorene Glück" (26) and in Germany he appeared from 1920 in movies like "Die Lieblingsfrau des Maharadscha (20), "Sturmflut des Lebens" (21), "Die Flucht ind die Ehe" (22) and finally in Wilhelm Dieterle's "Geschlecht in Fesseln" (28).
