Biography
Max von Sydow is Notable.
Max von Sydow (born Carl Adolf von Sydow; 10 April 1929[1] - 8 March 2020) was a Swedish-born actor who appeared in European and American films. Von Sydow featured in more than 100 films and TV series. His most memorable film roles include Knight Antonius Block in Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal (1957), the earliest of 11 films he made with Bergman, which includes the iconic scenes in which his character plays chess with Death.
He also played Jesus Christ in George Stevens' The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965), and also appeared in William Friedkin's The Exorcist, David Lynch's Dune (1984), Woody Allen's Hannah and Her Sisters (1986), Penny Marshall's Awakenings (1990), Steven Spielberg's Minority Report (2002), Julian Schnabel's The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007), and Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island (2009). He later appeared in Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) as "Lor San Tekka" and in HBO's Game of Thrones as Three-eyed Raven, for which he received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination.
Throughout his long and varied career he received two Academy Award nominations for his performances in Pelle the Conqueror (1987) and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2011).
Von Sydow received the Royal Foundation of Sweden's Cultural Award in 1954, was made a Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres in 2005, and was named a Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur on 17 October 2012. Originally from Sweden, von Sydow was a French citizen.

We are featuring this profile in the Connection Finder this week. Between now and Wednesday is a good time to take a look at the sources and biography to see if there are updates and improvements that need made, especially those that will bring it up to WikiTree Style Guide standards. We know it's short notice, so don't fret too much. Just do what you can.
Thanks!

Anyways, his parents already had profiles (with no unlisted offspring attached) so I connected him to them - and since they are already connected to the Global Tree that will do it for Max as well.
