Biography
Buster Larsen, born Axel Landing Larsen in Copenhagen, was a Danish actor whose career began in childhood; he first performed with Politikens Børneteater at eight and later worked in theaters in Nørrebro and Aalborg before appearing across Denmark. At twelve he made his screen debut as a mischievous schoolboy in De blaa drenge in 1933. Although he took many film roles in the 1940s and 1950s, wider fame arrived in 1959 with his own television series Cirkus Buster, where he played a circus director.

Later he played Oluf Larsen in Matador and appeared in The Olsen Gang Sees Red (1976), In the Middle of the Night (1984), Pelle the Conqueror (1987), and The Crumbs (1991). He died in 1993.
