	Actors - Björn Andresen

Björn Johan Andresen was born in Stockholm, Sweden on 26 January 1955. He is most famous for playing the fourteen year old Tadzio in the Luchino Visconti screen adaptation of the Thomas Mann novella, Death in Venice. He was apparently chosen for his good looks and the fact that director Visconti believed his face to be ideal for the role of the boy with whom the character Gustav von Aschenbach is besotted. His picture was also used, without his consent, on the front cover of the book "The Beautiful Boy" by Germaine Greer. Despite his complaints the publishers had permission to use the photograph from the photographer.

Andresen has also appeared in several other films. These include Pelikaanimies (2004), Kojan (1992) and Smugglarkungen (1985). He currently lives with his wife and daughter in Stockholm.
