Netflix Movies Starring Per Christian Ellefsen

Per Christian Ellefsen started his impressive stage career at Sogn og Fjordane's Theatre at the age of 23. In 1980 he became an employee of Oslo Nye Teater (Oslo's New Theatre) where he soon met friend and colleague Sven Nordin. Through the 1980s Nordin drifted into success in television while Ellefsen remained a respected stage actor, well known to the theater-going public, but far from a household name. Ellefsen proved himself to be a cheerful comic actor in comedies and musicals, turning in some memorable performances in children and family plays such as the title role in Oslo Nye Teater's 1988 version of "Karlsson på taket", based on Astrid Lindgren's popular childrens book. His portrayal of Karlsson was hysterically funny sending kids and adults alike screaming with laughter. Despite rave reviews on stage, some supporting roles in TV and films, it wasn't until 1999's Absolute Hangover (1999) he made a mark for himself on the big screen, with a scene-stealing supporting role as an accident-prone hairdresser in one of that years most popular Norwegian movies.
