Lasse Åberg
Lars Gunnar Åberg (born 5 May 1940), known professionally as Lasse Åberg, is a Swedish comedian, actor, musician, film director and artist. Between 1960 and 1964 he studied at the Konstfack department of graphic design. Åberg has produced some of the most successful films in Sweden, depicting "typical" Swedish life and customs in a usually humorous way. Åberg's character can be described as an inept outsider with a large heart, constantly pushed aside without noticing. His films have generated over 300 million Swedish kronor (~29 million USD) in Sweden alone; no large scale international distribution has ever been attempted.
