Lars Gunnar Åberg (born 5 May 1940), known professionally as Lasse Åberg, is a Swedish actor, musician, film director and artist. Between 1960 and 1964 he studied at the Konstfack department of graphic design. [1]

Åberg has produced some of the most successful films in Sweden, depicting "typical" Swedish life and customs in a usually humorous way. Åberg's character can be described as an inept outsider with a large heart, constantly pushed aside without noticing.

His films have generated over 300 million Swedish kronor (~29 million USD) in Sweden alone; no large scale international distribution has ever been attempted. His 1980 film Sällskapsresan entered into the 12th Moscow International Film Festival. [2]

As an artist, he is famous for making various lithographs, with one of his specialties being sketchy Mickey Mouse drawings. He is a member of Svenska Serieakademien. Additionally, re-designed the seat textiles for the Stockholm Metro subway in the 1990s.

As a musician, he played in the nationally successful band Electric Banana Band. Åberg is also the creator of Trazan & Banarne, one of the most beloved Swedish children's shows ever. It was shown on Sveriges Television in the late 1970s/early 1980s. The characters of the show, Trazan Apansson (Åberg) and Banarne ( Klasse Möllberg) are also members of the Electric Banana Band.

At the 17th Guldbagge Awards he won the Ingmar Bergman Award. [3] At the 27th Guldbagge Awards he won the award for Best Actor for his role in Den ofrivillige golfaren. [4]
