Biography

Ove Sprogøe was a Danish actor who ranked among his country's most admired performers. He grew up in Odense, where he was born in 1919, and in 1945 made his stage debut at the Folketeatret in Copenhagen. Across many years of work in film, television, and theater, his signature part was Egon Olsen in the Olsenbanden series, whose fourteen films were widely known in Denmark and found audiences in Germany, while Norwegian and Swedish productions offered local versions.

Sprogøe died in 2004 and was remembered as one of Danish film's true greats.
