Born Today May 4: Frederick Henriksen


1847-1927

Danish actor Frederick Henriksen was born on this day in Aarhus, Denmark. Not much is known about his life other than his birth and death dates and locations. More than likely he was a stage actor for most of his career, given his birth year of 1847.  He is known for only one film dating from 1912.  Fodsporet is a crime film in which he assays the role of "Malcolm."  Made by Filmfabrikken Skandinavien, it most certainly a film lost to us today. Henriksen died on the 18th of October (at least one source states that he died in Norway, but I don't know that to be absolutely true). It is no surprise that there is no information as to his burial.
