Peter Jørgen Frydendahl

Peter Jørgen Frydendahl (1766-1830), was a Danish stage actor. He belonged to the elite actors of the Royal Danish Theatre from 1786. He was described as a versatile actor, was active also as a singer, and particularly noted for his comic roles, for which he was called the most noted of his time. He was also principal of the acting school from 1816.

Early life and education
Frydendahl grew up as the son of textile merchant Hans Peter Frydendahl (c. 1705-91) and Kirstine Mortensdatter (c. 1745-94) but his real father was Hans Wilhelm von Warnstedt who had served as managing director of the Royal Danish Theatre since 1876. He was apprenticed as an office clerk before his father got him into the Royal Theatre's singing school where he studied under Michel Angelo Potenza.

Career
He had his debut on 7 December 1786 as Belcour in The West Indian followed by a role as Charles in The School for Scandal. Both performances were poorly received.

Personal life
Frydendahl was the spouse of Catharine Frydendahl.
