Arvid Nilssen

Funny-faced Norwegian comic actor, mostly in supporting roles. His shy smile and a very personal attitude, made the audience burst into laughter. He was very popular in many skits and songs during the forties and fifties, often seen as a character from the streets of the city. (Oslo) His mute play together with another popular performer, Kari Diesen , was outstanding comedy, and is still shown repeatedly on Television. His personal life was unfortunately not so good, and his problems made a talented career untimely short.
