Kullervo Kalske

Keijo Kullervo Kalske (February 28, 1912, Lahti, Finland - January 26, 1977, Helsinki, Finland) was a Finnish actor.

Kalske, who worked as a police officer in Kotka before his film career, had played at random on the Kotka Exhibition. Throughout the 1950s, Kalske, who belonged to the most popular movie heroes of the late 1930s and 1940s, managed to get just a few larger movie roles in movies. His last film role was in the 1971 film Count. On television, he still appeared in 1978 in the mini series Men of War and Peace.

Bulky and broad-shouldered, 186-centimeter-long Kalske was often seen on stage and in films, in the roles of a soldier, a police or a guard, who, due to his police background, was perfectly fit to interpret, with professionalism.

He starred at the Finnish Workers' Theater in the 1940s and Helsinki City Theater since 1957. The role of the police or officer in Kalske was played in more than 30 films, most of which were small since the 1950s.
