Biography

Kjell Christian Adolf Waltman belonged to the elite of the pioneer generation actors of the Royal Dramatic Theatre, where he was engaged in 1788-99. He was employed at the Comediehuset in Gothenborg in 1780-85 before making his Stockholm debut at the Stenborg Theatre in 1785. He was employed at the Royal Dramatic Theatre after having been noted by King Gustav III of Sweden. Waltman was described as a versatile actor able to play most roles convincingly (not a given thing for an actor in an epoch when most actors specialized in playing a certain type of role) and praised for his expressive mimic, though he was most noted for his comical parts.

He was married to Maria Elisabeth Uppman (1768-1852).

gollark: Nope.
gollark: PotatOS Hypercycle is descended mostly from PotatOS Tau, which came from the original PotatOS, which was a simpler program which eventually accreted complex stuff like the sandbox.
gollark: It was originally made to annoy Terrariola. You can see this from the fact that sometimes it says "Terrariola is stupid" backward.
