Egon Olsen

Egon Olsen is a fictional character in the Danish Olsenbanden film series as well as in the Norwegian remake. He is a master criminal with a genius for planning elaborate capers, but he is often foiled by his own incompetence or by the police. In the Danish version, he is portrayed by Ove Sprogøe, who brings a dry wit and a sense of comic timing to the role. In the Norwegian version, he is portrayed by Arve Opsahl, who gives the character a more bumbling and lovable quality. Both versions of Egon Olsen are beloved by fans of the series, and he has become an iconic figure in Danish and Norwegian popular culture.
