Carl Jörgen Lindström (born May 19, 1951 in Nacka, Sweden) is a Swedish former child actor.
Having been born in 1951,[1] he was a child when director Ingmar Bergman cast him in a prominent role in his 1963 film The Silence.[2] His character of Johan has been described as representing the one who perceives.[3] Bergman cast him once again in his 1966 psychological drama Persona.[2]
Lindström also played child roles in other films, but in adulthood ceased acting and moved into a career in a film laboratory.[4] Author David Thomson expressed uncertainty as to his whereabouts by 2015.[4] Ida Moen Johnson interviewed Lindström in 2017 for an academic paper published in 2019.[5]
