He is probably best known for his role as the henpecked Kjeld in the ''Olsen-banden'' films.

He also appeared in the 1966 spy film ''Strike First Freddy'' as the villain, and as the elf Gammel Nok in ''The Julekalender''.

==Biography== In addition to having appeared in a large number of Danish films, Bundgaard starred in a number of operettas in the late 1940s until the 1950s, and worked at the Royal Danish Theatre as a singer between 1958 and 1973; however, he focused mostly on acting later on in his career, partly due to stage fright.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.danskefilm.dk/skuespiller/838.html | title=Poul Bundgaard | publisher=Den danske film database | accessdate=7 January 2016 | language=Danish }}</ref>

He died during the filming of ''Olsen-bandens sidste stik'' and Tommy Kenter was used as stand-in for some of the scenes while Kurt Ravn did his voice.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://politiken.dk/kultur/filmogtv/ECE1480237/guide-seks-film-hvor-alt-gik-galt/ | title=Guide: Seks film hvor alt gik galt | work=Politiken | date=15 December 2011 | accessdate=7 January 2016 | author=Grøn, Tommy | language=Danish}}</ref>
