Life

Engman spent his childhood in Hallstavik, which is in the Swedish region of Roslagen . Originally a trained welder, he worked for a while for the Swedish metal company Holmens Bruk AB in Norrtälje near his home town. He then moved directly to the neighboring town of Norrtälje and later on to Stockholm in the early 1980s . There Engman worked for various employers in very different professions, including as a truck driver, taxi driver, nurse, postman and much more. In his spare time he also worked as a musician and songwriter and toured all of Sweden with the punk band President Gas . The band also released some records with their music together.

From 1990 onwards he worked as a stage worker at the Royal Stockholm Opera and the Royal Dramatic Theater , where he also worked as a small actor. Engman tried to get more appearances on a regular basis, initially only for smaller roles in various theaters. Finally, from 1993 to 1997, he began studying at the Gothenburg Theater School ( Teaterhögskolan i Göteborg ). Before the end of his acting training, he got a leading role from the Swedish director and screenwriter Åke Sandgren in the Swedish film Stora och småhaben in 1995 . Through this film appearance, Engman achieved his breakthrough as an actor and was now perceived accordingly. After this film and after successfully completing his acting training in 1997, he received many offers for further leading roles and important supporting roles in Swedish film and television productions . He mostly portrayed likeable characters, as in the film Suxxess (2002) or in the television series Stora teatern (2002). In 1998, Engman received a Daniel Engdahl grant from the Swedish Theater Association (Det svenske teaterförbundets).
