Rolf Lassgård

He started acting school in Malmö and went from there to the Skånska Teatern in Landskrona, performing in plays by Shakespeare or Brecht. He made a breakthrough as Puck in 'William Shakespeare' (qv)'s 'A Midsummer's Night Dream'. He also met his wife Birgitta there. The 1990s meant a lot of work in front of the camera, playing a string of policemen, most notably Kurt Wallander from 'Henning Mankell' (qv)'s crime novels.::Mattias Thuresson <[email protected]>
