Jarl Lage Kulle (28 February 1927 – 3 October 1997) was a Swedish film and stage actor and director, and father of Maria Kulle.

[2] Kulle was one of the leading Swedish stage actors of his generation and often appeared in TV productions, at the Royal Dramatic Theatre of Stockholm as well as in a number of films, several of these directed by Ingmar Bergman.

Taking on many star parts of the classical and modern repertory, appearing in contemporary TV drama and musicals and armed with remarkable gifts for both comedy, romantic drama and slightly declamatory but controlled pathos, he was one of Sweden's most loved modern actors.

[4] In 1960, Kulle married Louise Hermelin (born 1939), daughter of a cavalry captain, Baron Carl-Magnus Hermelin and Ann-Marie Sourander.

Kulle died in Gregersboda, Sweden in October 1997 of bone cancer.
