Biography

Olof Teodor "Tore" Svennberg (28 February 1858 – 8 May 1941) was a Swedish actor and theatre director whose career spanned more than five decades.

Born in Stockholm, Tore Svennberg made his stage debut at the Folkan Theatre in his hometown in 1877. From 1878 to 1891 he was engaged with various national touring theatre companies with actress Julia Håkansson and was from time to time cast by Swedish stage director Albert Ranft. At the Swedish Theatre, he played in several August Strindberg dramas: Gustav Vasa, starred in Erik XIV in 1899, A Dream Play in 1907 and The Dance of Death in 1919. He also appeared in many roles by Henrik Ibsen: as Helmer in A Doll's House in 1889, as Hjalmar Ekdahl in The Wild Duck in 1891 and as Borkman in John Gabriel Borkman in 1897.
