I think it'd be "Mr. Von S-" that stuff used to be in the back of the dictionary. There are some Germans and Germanophiles who'll be along shortly to give you the straight dope.

Would the greeting be "Dear Mr. von Sydow" or "Dear Mr. Sydow?" I dunno, but "The Seventh Seal" was a pretty good movie... |

Germans? Max von Sydow is Swedish.
As for the correct greeting, it would be "Dear Mr. von Sydow". Or "Tjena Mackan" |

Maybe you could just post your letter to him openly here, and just say "hey Max" to avoid possible embarrassing errors in grammar.

It's an important thing to get right - his assassin in Three Days of the Condor was a bad-ass.

You may be walking. Maybe the first sunny day of the spring. And a car will slow beside you, and a door will open, and someone you know, maybe even trust, will get out of the car. And he will smile, a becoming smile. But he will leave open the door of the car and offer to give you a lift." |

I went with "Dear Mr. von ....." As far as the letter to Max von Sydow, I also thought he did a fine job in his brief role as King Osric.
