Torben Bille was born on October 31, 1945 in Koge, Denmark. Torben
first became involved with show business when he joined a traveling
troupe of artists as a child. Bille worked behind-the-scenes on a
number of movies as either a property master or a stage manager. He
achieved his greatest enduring cult cinema popularity with his
unforgettably creepy and unnerving portrayal of the depraved and
sadistic Olaf in the notoriously nasty exploitation sickie "The Sinful
Dwarf." Torben's other film roles were often strictly minor parts (he
was the sole dwarf actor in Denmark in his day). Bille continued to
work in the adult entertainment industry, most notably on Werner
Hedman's enormously successful "Sign" series. He was rumored to be
married to fetching blonde Anne Sparrow (his female co-star in "The
Sinful Dwarf"), reportedly was the host of a children's TV show prior
to working on more down'n'dirty adult-oriented fare, and even had quite
the reputation as a ladies' man. Torben Bille died at age 47 on July
22, 1993.
