Biography

Tvinde was born at Voss in Hordaland, Norway. He was the son of Knut Haldorsen (1843–1927) and Eli Jørgensdotter Leidal (1842–1927). He attended Voss folkehøgskule and for eight years, he worked for his uncle at a store in Vossevangen. He also appeared at amateur theater in Bergen.

He started working for Det Norske Teatret in Oslo during 1912. He said the first lines at the theatre's opening performance, Ivar Aasen's Ervingen, on 2 January 1913.

During his time on stage, he created memorable characters in both comic and the tragic roles.

He also had a number of roles in film. He made his film debut in 1920 as Haldor in Fante-Anne directed by Rasmus Breistein. He played in Himmeluret (1925), Bra mennesker (1937) and Godvakker-Maren (1940). Tvinde was a board member of the Norwegian Acting Federation 1932-39.

He was awarded the Hulda Garborgs stipend in 1926 and the Norwegian Theatre Critics Award (Teaterkritikerprisen) in 1939 and awarded the State artist grant (Statens kunstnarløn) in 1955. Tvinde was decorated Commander of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav in 1964.
