Biography

Mikko Niskanen was a Finnish film director and actor. He was born in Äänekoski, Central Finland in 1929.

He was the third of six children, and his father worked as a timber barge pilot. His mother too had a job outside the home, so the children often spent summers with their grandmother in Viitasaari. At the age of 13, Mikko Niskanen started working in timber felling and floating.
