Gösta Ekman

about

There are two famous swedish actors called Gösta Ekman. The older was born Frans Viktor Gösta Ekman (called "Gösta Ekman d.ä." born december 28 1890, deceased january 12 1938) and the youngers full name is Hans Gösta Gustaf Ekman (born july 28 1939). Gösta d.ä had a son, Hasse Ekman (also an immensly popular actor) who's Gösta junior's father. Gösta junior was brought to attention already as an acting student because o his heritage and he has said "I was famous as a sperm" in regard to his heritage. Though it was as a comedian in the revues with Hasse & Tage of AB Svenska Ord that his star rose. In his later life he shunned comedy for a time and his character was soon intimately connected to sterner characters like the role of Comissioner Martin Beck in the famous crime stories of Sjöwall & Wahlöö. Gösta Ekman has retired as an actor but recently he has been given the post as professor of Comedy at Stockholms Teaterhögskola.
