Hans Alfredson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hans ("Hasse") Alfredson (born June 28, 1931) is a Swedish actor, film director, writer and comedian. He was born in Malmö, Sweden. He is known for his collaboration with Tage Danielsson (the two of them often referred to as Hasseåtage). His most celebrated contribution to their brand of humorist humanism was his ability to extemporize wildly absurd comic situations, for example in the so called Lindeman dialogues.
1992-1994 Hans Alfredson was head of the open air museum Skansen in Stockholm. He has also written a string of books, some intensely comic in a kind of Monty Python style, some equally intensely tragic, some a mixture of the two.
