About Hans Alfredson
- Hans Folke "Hasse" Alfredson (28 June 1931 – 10 September 2017) was a Swedish actor, film director, writer and comedian.
- He was born in Malmö, Sweden.
- He is known for his collaboration with Tage Danielsson as the duo Hasse & Tage and their production company AB Svenska Ord ("Swedish Words Ltd").
- His most celebrated contribution to their brand of humorist humanism was his ability to extemporize wildly absurd comic situations, for example in the Lindeman dialogues. Already in 1970 he gave a taste of another and less comedic side in the role as an rather unpleasant civil servant in Grisjakten.
- As time went by, Alfredson more or less totally turned around to become a serious author and film director.
- In 1982 he both directed and participated in the film The Simple-Minded Murderer, a motion picture based on his own novel "En ond man" ("An evil man").
- Here Alfredson portrayed a rich and indeed very unpleasant manufacturer and Nazi-supporter who tormented the inhabitants of his native Scanian country-side in the 1930's.
- With just a brief return to a revue comedy in 1984, he never returned to that genre after the 1985 death of Tage Danielsson.
- Between 1992 and 1994 he was manager of the cultural museum "Skansen" at Stockholm.
- In the mid-zeroes he participated in the Danish criminal-odyssey The Eagle, and his last cinematic work came with the 2009 The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest.
- A film directed by one of his two sons, Daniel Alfredson.
- Alfredson played a hitman.
- Towards the end of his life, Alfredson made it clear that he strongly preferred his real name – Hans – not the rather commonly nickname "Hasse".
