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

Ekerot was born in Stockholm. He had several roles in Swedish films, but he became 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.

Biography

Bengt Ekerot étudie l'art dramatique au Dramatens elevskola, l'école du Théâtre dramatique royal. Il est engagé dans une troupe théâtrale à Malmö de 1947 à 1949, puis à Göteborg de 1947 à 1950. Il fait partie de la troupe du Théâtre dramatique royal à partir de 1953 et ce jusqu'en 1965.

Il obtient son premier rôle au cinéma en 1940 dans Med livet som insats (They Staked Their Lives ), film de Thor L. Brooks et de Alf Sjöberg, et réalise lui-même à partir de 1946. Le rôle qui l'a rendu célèbre en 1957 est celui de la Mort dans Le Septième Sceau d'Ingmar Bergman où son personnage à la face blanche vêtu d'un manteau noir est devenu un archétype de la représentation de la mort, repris depuis lors dans d'innombrables films et d'autres médias.

Il a été marié deux fois, en 1946 avec Antoinette Gram, fille du juriste et politicien norvégien Harald Gram , puis de 1959 à 1968 avec la chanteuse d'opéra soprano Margareta Hallin .

Il meurt d'un cancer du poumon en 1971 et est enterré au cimetière Skogskyrkogården à Stockholm.
