From his role in Alf Sjöberg's Bara em mor (1949) to the upcoming Echoes of the Past (2019) which he's currently filming, that's 70 years of uninterrupted film acting. And I'm talking actual roles, not uncredited appearances or voiceovers.
Is there any precedent for this kind of thing?? I looked up Christopher Lee and his career wasn't quite as long: 67 years (1948-2015).

Betty White started her career in 1939. Almost 80 years now.

Mickey Rooney is still the king. He started in the 1920s and I think his last role was in Night at the Museum 2.

Damn, that's something. I kind of associate his face with cinema, because The Seventh Seal was what blew my mind as a kid and ignited my love for art. He's not one of the most diverse or impressive actors out there, but he carries a sort of mythic quality for me.

Trintignant I often say this about as a guy who's been in some classic films in every decade since the 50s really (except the 00s which he more or less skipped) - not as long quite as Von Sydow but a marvelous career too.
Von Sydow is definitive of a certain aesthetic in foreign film in general - even as a young man (and he never LOOKED young really) he had an imposing gravity and seriousness. He's one of the great faces of movies really - a representation of what the films were trying to put across in their themes was embodied in him.
