Buster Larsen

Buster Larsen (born September 1, 1920 in Copenhagen - † December 18, 1993 ; actually Axel Landing Larsen ) was a Danish actor.

Career

Larsen's stage career began at the age of eight in a children's theater; at the age of twelve he made his debut in 1932 on the stage of the Nørrebro Theater . He played several roles in Copenhagen and at the Aalborg Theater and traveled with his sister as an artist with a dance number across the country. In 1940 he was admitted to the acting school of the Royal Theater ( Det Kongelige Teaters elevskole ), which he graduated in 1943. In the following years he played on numerous stages in Copenhagen and throughout Denmark and appeared in spoken theater as well as in operettas and revues . From 1959 to 1961 he was seen as a ringmaster and clown in the television series Cirkus Buster . The show was so popular that after its end, Larsen actually went on a Danish tour with a specially compiled circus and starred in a movie of the same name directed by Erik Balling . He was remembered above all as the pig dealer Oluf Larsen in the Matador series . In 1981 he was honored with the Bodil for the title role in Kaspar Rostrup's film adaptation of Ludvig Holberg's play Jeppe på bjerget , which he had played on stage since 1971 . He last appeared in the summer of 1993 together with Ove Sprogøe in Tivolirevyen .
