He also played the protagonist in the Swedish film As It Is In Heaven, a good film to look up if you like foreign movies if only for the singing of the great Swedish singer Helen Sjoholm. Look up some of the snippets of it on You Tube. It's one of the few foreign-language films I own.

Ammunition for BiT: Nyqvist died of lung cancer, so you can probably connect the dots here.
