Michael Nyqvist, the Swedish star of the original The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo films, died at the age of 56 on Tuesday after battling lung cancer, his manager said. His charm and charisma were undeniable, and his love for the arts was felt by all who had the pleasure of working with him. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and its two sequels, all released in 2009, made more than $215 million at box offices worldwide. Nyqvist -- who had more than 50 film credits -- went on to forge a successful career in Hollywood, starring in Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011), John Wick (2014) and Frank and Lola (2016). He is survived by his wife Catharina, and their children Ellen and Arthur.
