Viggo Hjalmar Wiehe (23 December 1874 - 30 November 1956) was a Danish

stage and film actor whose career spanned over five decades.Born in

Copenhagen, Denmark, he was the son of actor and opera singer Johan

Henrik Wiehe and Fanny Wiehe (née Petersen). He began his stage

career as a dramatic actor under the tutelage of Karl Mantzius and

Olaf Poulsen from 1897 to 1899 and later studied at the Danish Royal

Theatre. He made his stage debut at the Folketeatret (People's

Theatre) in a production by writer Herman Bang in 1899. He was then

engaged at Oddgeir Stephensen's theater company, and from 1922 to 1923

at the Odense Folketeater, Odense Theatre, and then among other

theatres throughout Denmark such as the Dagmar Theatre, Casino Theatre

and Det ny Teater (The New Theatre) in Copenhagen.Wiehe began

appearing in films in 1912 and from 1912 to 1930, he appeared in

approximately twenty-five silent films. One of his most popular

starring roles of the silent film era was that of Søren Qvist, a

village minister with a short-temper who is accused of murdering his

unlikeable servant in the 1922 August Blom-directed mystery Praesten i

Vejlby (The Vicar of Vejlby). Wiehe is often also recalled for his

role as Count de Chambord in director Carl Theodor Dreyer's 1921 drama

Leaves from Satan's Book. Wiehe made the transition to sound film with

relative ease and spent the 1930s appearing in several roles in Danish

films, as well as continuing his career on stage. His last film before

retiring was a small role in Lau Lauritzen, Sr.-directed Røverne fra

Rold.
