Per Ragnar, Per-Erik Ragnar (born 29 May 1941), is a Swedish actor,

director and author.Ragnar was born in Kalmar, Sweden and is the son

of district manager Hans Ragnar and the postal clerk Karin, née

Pettersson. Ragnar trained at Dramatens elevskola (The Royal Dramatic

Theatre's acting school) in 1962-65. The following year he got a job

as director's assistant to Ingmar Bergman (on his stage production of

Peter Weiss' play The Investigation), where Ragnar states he learned a

lot on the art of acting and directing from "the master", just by

watching and listening when Bergman worked with his actors and the

script. In 1968 Per Ragnar had his breakthrough as an actor, earning

much critical acclaim and audience praise for his performances in the

Arnold Wesker "trilogy" staged that year in Sweden: Hönssoppa med

korngryn (Chicken Soup with Barley), Rötter (Roots) and Jag talar om

Jerusalem (I'm talking about Jerusalem). The same year he also made

his film-breakthrough with Korridoren (The Corridor), Jan Haldoff's

social commenting film on hospitals and the health care system in

Sweden, where Ragnar plays a young doctor, new on the job, facing the

dilemmas of prioritizing patients.In the 1970s his collaborating with

TV director Bengt Lagerkvist led to notable performances on TV, first

as Arvid Falk in Lagerkvist's TV adaption of Strindberg's play The Red

Room) (Röda rummet), and in the popular Swedish TV-series Någonstans

i Sverige (~Somewhere In Sweden), a series covering the years in

Sweden during the time of World War II in Europe, where Ragnar played

the character of fänrik Ancker.For a young audience today, in Sweden,

he became unforgettable when playing the religious psycho Sten Frisk

in the popular and long-running 1990s TV series Tre Kronor (1994) on

Swedish channel TV4, a role that followed him for long and for more

than a decade led to him often being typecast as evil characters and

crazy psychos in various roles on film and TV. Even though being cast

in a Swedish vampire film, his character of HÃ¥kan was this time a bit

more complex then just "evil"; in director Tomas Alfredson's popular

success feature Låt den rätte komma in (Let the Right One In) in

2008. Previously he had worked with Tomas Alfredson and his

"Killinggänget" group in their film En liten film.. (A Little Film..)

in 1999, where he had a small key part as an absent-minded boss.
