'''Hans Folke '''"'''Hasse'''"''' Alfredson''' (28 June 1931 – 10 September 2017<ref>{{cite news|title=Hans Alfredson är död: "Gick bort lugnt och stilla"|url=https://www.svd.se/hans-alfredson-ar-dod |newspaper=[[Svenska Dagbladet]] |agency=TT |date=10 September 2017 |access-date=10 September 2017 |language=sv}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/a/d30wz/hans-alfredson-ar-dod |newspaper=[[Aftonbladet]] |title=Hans Alfredson är död |first=Torbjörn |last=Ek |date=10 September 2017 |access-date=10 September 2017 |language=sv}}</ref>) was a [[Swedish people|Swedish]] actor, film director, writer, and comedian. Born in [[Malmö]], Sweden, he is known for his collaboration with [[Tage Danielsson]] as the duo [[Hasse & Tage]] and their production company [[AB Svenska Ord]] ("Swedish Words Ltd").<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ne.se/uppslagsverk/encyklopedi/l%C3%A5ng/ab-svenska-ord |title=AB Svenska Ord |lang=Swedish |website=[[Nationalencyklopedin]]}}</ref> His most celebrated contribution to their brand of ''humorist humanism'' was his ability to extemporize wildly absurd comic situations, for example in the [[Lindeman (characters)|Lindeman]] dialogues.

Towards the end of his life, Alfredson made it clear that he preferred his real name, Hans, over the commonly used nickname "Hasse".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gp.se/kultur/h%C3%A4r-%C3%A4r-hans-hasse-alfredsons-liv-i-bilder-1.4619852|title = Hans "Hasse" Alfredsons liv i bilder|date = 10 September 2017}}</ref>

He was the father of directors [[Daniel Alfredson|Daniel]] and [[Tomas Alfredson]].

==Career==
[[File:Hans Alfredson på Guldbaggegalan 2013.JPG|thumb|Alfredson in 2013]]
Through his collaboration with Danielsson, with whom he produced several [[Revue|revue shows]] and films, Alfredson became one of Sweden's best-known comedians and a major, enduringly popular celebrity. Already in 1970, however, he performed a less sympathetic role in ''[[Grisjakten]]''. Later in his life, Alfredson would more or less completely turn around to become an author and director of serious, non-comedic works. In 1982 he directed and starred as the antagonist in the film ''[[The Simple-Minded Murderer]]'', based on his novel ''En ond man'' (An evil man). With just a brief return to revue comedy in 1984, he rarely revisited the genre after the 1985 death of Tage Danielsson. In addition to shows and movies, he authored numerous books, including [[Monty Python]]-style comedies as well as tragic and melancholy works.

Between 1992 and 1994, Alfredson was head of the open-air museum [[Skansen]] in Stockholm.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ne.se/uppslagsverk/encyklopedi/l%C3%A5ng/hans-alfredson |title=Hans Alfredson |lang=Swedish |website=[[Nationalencyklopedin]]}}</ref>

In the mid-00s, Alfredson participated in the Danish TV series ''[[The Eagle (TV series)|The Eagle]]''. His last cinematic work was the 2009 adaption of [[Stieg Larsson]]'s novel ''[[The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest (film)|The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest]]'', directed by his son [[Daniel Alfredson]].

==Awards==

His work, alone and with Danielsson, won several awards. At the [[11th Guldbagge Awards]], he won the [[Guldbagge Award for Best Director|Best Director]] award for his 1975 film ''[[Egg! Egg! A Hardboiled Story]]''.<ref name="11thGuldbagge">{{cite web |url=http://www.sfi.se/en-GB/Swedish-film-database/Item/?type=MOVIE&itemid=4947&iv=Awards |title=Ägget är löst!
