Ib Mossin (3 July 1933 â€" 17 December 2004) was a Danish actor,

singer and director best known for his role as heartthrob Peter of the

hugely popular Far til Fire film series. He had his breakthrough as

the apprentice Egon in 1953's Farlig Ungdom (Dangerous Youth), a stark

drama about the crime scene in Copenhagen among adolescents. He also

had roles in fourteen of the eighteen Danish films based on novels by

Morten Korch. Later in his life he travelled his home country talking

about his experiences as an actor and celebrity. In 1999 he published

his memoirs "Filmhelt til Tiden" (Moviehero on Time).Ib Mossin was

born in Frederiksberg. He was son of Erik Otto Mossin, the proprietor

of a larger company in Copenhagen. He spent his early years with his

mother and stepfather living in Vangså in Thy. He got a job on a

fishing boat in Thyborøn and later on another boat. When his

stepfather died in 1951 he moved to Copenhagen where he studied acting

under Danish actor Ejnar Juhl. After this brief period he got a job on

a third ship where he worked for some time. Then his film career

started. At that point he was still largely unknown in the Danish film

scene but he still managed to get chosen for a role in the film Farlig

Ungdom (1953) which would become a classic of its time. As he went on

to even bigger roles, especially as Peter in all eight original Far

til Fire films, he became one of the most beloved big screen actors of

his time in the Danish film scene.At the peak of his career he

received 150 fan letters each day, which was considered a great

accomplishment in Denmark at the time. He immortalized several songs

he sang in films, among those the well known “Bornholm, Bornholm,

Bornholm,†“Du er min Øjesten†(duet with Peter Malberg), and

“Spil en Polka, Spillemand.†As one of the most established and

popular actors in Denmark, he started directing films together with

Alice O’Fredericks in 1964 and later directed the fisherman's drama

Stormvarsel (1968) on his own. It turned out to be a box-office

failure, alas same fate as most of the films he would later direct. It

was also the first of three films he directed starring actress and

wife Anne-Marie Juhl. From 1961 to 1968 he owned the fishing boat EMI.

Even though he usually played one of the good guys in his starring

films, he took part in the Danish hit series Matador about Denmark

during World War II in the role as a Nazi, proving his versatility as

an actor. He spend his last years as a lecturer, travelling Denmark.

He published his memoirs Filmhelt til Tiden five years before his

death. He is remembered mostly for his parts in the Far til Fire film

series and in the Morten Korch films.
