Alo Kõrve (born 2 December 1978) is an Estonian stage, film, and television actor.
Alo Kõrve was born in Jõgeva, Jõgeva County to Are Kõrve and his wife (née Simson). He is the youngest of two siblings; his older sister Ave Kõrve-Noorkõiv was born in 1975. After graduating from secondary school Kõrve initially planned to study law, however, he subsequently enrolled in the dramatic arts department of the EMA Higher Drama School (now, the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre) in Tallinn, graduating in 2002. Among his diploma production roles were: Brian in Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper (2000), Basilio the Cat in Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoy's Buratino (2000), Doctor Vaik and Advocate Kurg in Eduard Vilde's The Elusive Miracle (2001), and Timo, in Aleksis Kivi's Seven Brothers (2001).
Alo Kõrve's first substantial film role was the character Käsper in the 2002 Elmo Nüganen directed period feature film war drama Nimed marmortahvlil (Names in Marble). The film was adapted from the 1936 novel of the same name by Albert Kivikas, which chronicles the lives of several Estonian students during the 1918–1920 Estonian War of Independence. The film also starred Kõrve's future wife, actress Hele Kõre. Names in Marble was the highest budgeted Estonian feature film and the most successful film in Estonia in terms of box office profits. This was followed by appearances in several film shorts, including the 2007 Anu Aun directed Indigo Room opposite actress Mirtel Pohla, and the 2014 Margus Paju directed Kaastundeavaldus, opposite actors Tiit Lilleorg and Pääru Oja.
In 2009, Alo Kõrve was among several narrators of the Jaak Kilmi directed documentary Disko ja tuumasõda (Disco and Atomic War), which lightheartedly chronicles how Western pop culture of the 1970s and 1980s infiltrated the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic through Finnish television broadcasts trickling into the north of Estonia and the Soviet regime's attempt to halt it. That same year, he appeared as Rebane (Fox) in the Rasmus Merivoo directed musical comedy feature film Buratino. In 2016, he appeared as Heiki in the Valentin Kuik and Manfred Vainokivi-directed drama Perekonnavaled.
In 2020, he appeared alongside his wife as the character Paul Parik in the Margus Paju directed World War II spy drama O2. In 2021, he appeared as Anton in the Priit Pääsuke directed comedy-drama Öölapsed (Kids of the Night). In 2022, he appeared as the character Wentzel Dorn in the Elmo Nüganen directed historical thriller-mystery Melchior the Apothecary for Taska Film, based on the novel series of the same name by Indrek Hargla.
Alo Kõrve married actress and singer Hele Kõre in June 2009. They have two daughters; Roosi, born in 2009 and Kirsi, born in 2012. The family reside in Üksnurme, Harju County, near Tallinn.
