Ib Mossin was born in Frederiksberg. He was son of Erik Otto Mossin, the proprietor of a larger company in Copenhagen. He spent his early years with his mother and stepfather living in Vangs in Thy. He got a job on a fishing boat in Thyborn and later on another boat. When his stepfather died in 1951 he moved to Copenhagen where he studied acting under Danish actor Ejnar Juhl. After this brief period he got a job on a third ship where he worked for some time. Then his film career started. At that point he was still largely unknown in the Danish film scene but he still managed to get chosen for a role in the film Farlig Ungdom which would become a classic of its time. As he went on to even bigger roles, especially as Peter in all eight original Far til Fire films, he became one of the most beloved big screen actors of his time in the Danish film scene.
