Hans Folke "Hasse" Alfredson (born June 28, 1931 – died September 10, 2017) was a very talented Swedish actor, film director, writer, and comedian. He was born in Malmö, Sweden. He became famous for working with Tage Danielsson. Together, they formed the popular duo Hasse & Tage. They also had a production company called AB Svenska Ord, which means "Swedish Words Ltd."
Hans Alfredson was known for his special kind of humor. He was great at making up funny and silly situations on the spot. This was a big part of their comedy, especially in their "Lindeman" dialogues. Later in his life, Hans preferred to be called by his real name, Hans, instead of his nickname "Hasse." He was also the father of two well-known directors, Daniel and Tomas Alfredson.

Hans Alfredson's Creative Journey
Becoming a Famous Comedian
Through his work with Tage Danielsson, Hans Alfredson became one of Sweden's most famous comedians. They created many popular stage shows and films together. He was a major celebrity who stayed popular for a long time.
In 1970, he took on a different kind of role in the film Grisjakten. This role was not as funny or friendly as his usual characters.

In 1982, he directed and starred in the film The Simple-Minded Murderer. In this movie, he played the main bad guy. The film was based on his own book, "En ond man" ("An Evil Man").
After Tage Danielsson passed away in 1985, Hans Alfredson rarely returned to comedy shows. He wrote many books, including funny ones like Monty Python-style comedies. He also wrote sad or thoughtful stories.
