Biografie

English mother who worked in Italian cinema (Fellini, Monicelli, ...) in the beginning of the sixties.

Lou Castel, also known as Ulv Quarzéll, is a Swedish actor based in Paris since 1990. He became an actor in Rome in 1965 with "Fists in the pockets" (of which Kenneth Tynan, the famous British film critic, wrote on the Guardian in September 1965: "the final desperate scene [...] is uniquely his, and no other living actor could better it"), and has worked there until the early eighties. My mother read this article to me in Rome, and now you understand that it is me the actor Lou Castel in person who is writing to you and I am furious because I have a twin brother who has replaced his first name "Björn" by "Ulv" and consequently you have his address in Sweden instead of mine in Paris. Your problem is if you check it out in Sweden they will give you the legal information that I am officially living in Perstorp as you have written. I have no what so ever contact with Sweden nor my brother, but if you should ever question him ask him what was the name of the street where the roman police arrested me right after the press conference in 1972 before being put violently on a plane to Sweden. This is maybe a mistake only done by you and that my brother means no harm to me. Please correct my biographical sketch. Thank you.
