Bengt Ekerot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bengt Ekerot (sometimes credited as Bengt Ekeroth) (February 8, 1920 in Stockholm – November 26, 1971) was a Swedish actor.

Ekerot had several roles in Swedish films, but he became internationally immortalized in 1957 when he starred in Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal, portraying Death as a white-faced man in a black cloak, an archetype that has influenced the representation of Death in countless instances in film and other media since then.
