Vilhelm Lund, sometimes credited as Wilhelm Lund (April 7, 1900 – January 7, 1982), was a Norwegian actor.[2][3][4]
Lund was primarily a theater actor. After a study visit to Oxford in 1919 and preparatory studies, he made his theatrical debut in Frank Wedekind's 1891 drama Spring Awakening. He performed at the experimental Intimate Theater (Norwegian: Intimteatret) in 1922, during the one season it was active.[5] From 1924 to 1934 he was at the Central Theater, the Norwegian Theater, and Søilen Theater. After a pause from 1934 to 1945, he was again engaged with the Norwegian Theater in 1945.
Lund's film debut was in 1926 in Rasmus Breistein's Brudeferden i Hardanger. He appeared sporadically in films and on television until 1980, and he played twelve different roles altogether.
Around 1949, he took a break from the Norwegian Theater, during which he toured Europe with the dance troupe of the Indian dancer Ram Gopal. Lund also ran a small farm for a year and spent time in London before appearing at various Norwegian theaters, including the Rogaland Theater, People's Theater, Norwegian National Opera, and NRK's Television Theater, where he remained for a time.[6] From 1964 to 1977 he performed several roles at the National Theater.[3]
Lund was married first to the actress Dagmar Myhrvold (1898–1972),[6] and then in 1934 to Kathleen Austin (1917–1957). His daughter Anne Mari (born 1929) published the travelogue Ferden til Shigaraki (Journey to Shigaraki).[7] His second daughter, Trini Lund (born 1951), became an actress. In 1963, Lund married Nancy Austin (1914–1990).
