As an actor, he is remembered for roles such as the intolerable daddy's boy and shipowner Rieber-Larsen Jr. in Operasjon Løvsprett, as a naval commander in Operasjon Sjøsprøyt, and the male lead role in Støv på hjernen. The same year he died, he starred in the next to last Stompa film, Stompa forelsker seg.
