Atle Antonsen is not just a comedian, something his latest film is a testament to.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the film Grand Hotel, which he is in town to promote on Monday, April 4 , he plays the alcoholic and rather self-absorbed writer Axel Farstad . The character has things in common with his most known character, the TV-series -anti-hero Dag<\/em>, but Antonsen still think the two are quite different.<\/p>\n

– They have in common that they seek to be alone, but\u00a0beyond that, their motivation and personalities are widely
\ndifferent. Dag\u00a0is a reclusive, but\u00a0conscientious man\u00a0with a large and caring heart. Axel Farstad however,\u00a0is a successful writer with narcissistic traits who only cares about himself\u00a0and doesn’t have room for others in his self-absorbed
\nexistence. But he is also a man struggling with performance anxiety, writer’s block, loneliness, and alcohol.
\nAntonsen’s partner in the film is the young and unknown\u00a0H\u00e5kon B\u00f8hmer. B\u00f8hmer plays the young\u00a0boy Noah, diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome. His character indulges in an odd and awkward\u00a0friendship with Antonsen’s character. The experience of playing\u00a0against a child was a positive one.
\n– It was amazing, simply because H\u00e5kon is a\u00a0rare natural talent. There is always some uncertainty going into playing \u00a0against children, because you never quite know what they will deliver. H\u00e5kon\u00a0was fabulous to play against, so we could make each other better.<\/p>\n

More serious<\/strong>
\nLately Antonsen has gone from being a comedian to\u00a0becoming a more serious actor.
\n– I like to vary and seek new challenges. I get the\u00a0opportunity to do this through new and exciting projects, and this shapes me all the time. I am a happy man\u00a0career-wise. The thought of trying to master as many\u00a0forms as possible appeals to me, and it always has done.
\nHis career has taken a very different direction lately, but nonetheless, for the next two to three years, it is still likely that he\u00a0will be tackling many different types of projects.
\n– I have no long-term plan for where I’m going or what\u00a0I’m doing, but it will include both drama and comedy on stage,
\nTV and the big screen.
\nHowever, there are not watertight bulkheads between these\u00a0expressions. In the role of Dag, for example, he could jump from\u00a0heavy drama to wild\u00a0comedy in an instant.
\n– I believe such diversity in terms of the same\u00a0series or movie is a good thing. It creates a lot of dynamism and
\ndramaturgy, and the contrasts amplify both expressions.
\nGrand Hotel is a comedy drama with room for both\u00a0vulnerability and laughter.<\/p>\n

Primarily comedian<\/strong>
\nNevertheless, he emphasizes that he is first and foremost a comedian,\u00a0and that he probably will continue to be.
\n– This is where everything emanates from. But it can also\u00a0be good to take that into more drama based stuff. As
\npreviously stated it is only a plus to be able to combine\u00a0this.
\nRecently he played in the play The Magic Flute<\/em> at the opera in\u00a0Oslo, and it was a nice experience, although he does not see himself doing more of it.
\n– I probably won’t partake in any more operas, although it was\u00a0an amazing experience to play with such specialists on
\nNorway’s most amazing scene. It was a lot of work to reach the finish line, yes, but very liberating and a
\nrelief that it went so well. Opera, check.
\nDespite the fact that he is famous, it is something he sees\u00a0as a necessary part of his job and not something he
\nvalues in and of itself.
\n– It is as a result of the discipline and craft I’m\u00a0doing that I am famous, I’m happy for that and it\u00a0is also inevitable. That many people would love to be known without having any talent or skill in any direction or any meaning behind it\u00a0beyond the celebrity part, is in my eyes complete\u00a0incomprehensible and quite frankly embarassing. At the same time, they probably think\u00a0that it is cooler than it is. The famous bit, that is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
