Biography
Carlsson was born on 12 March 1937 in Stockholm as Jan Edvard Carlsson, to Erik Carlsson (1893-1953) and Tyra Törnkvist (1901–1981). His older brother, Leopold Fare (1926–1996), was an artist. Carlsson has one daughter.
Carlsson's debut as an actor came in 1950. He is perhaps most famous for his roles in the comedies Repmånad (1979) and Göta kanal eller Vem drog ur proppen? (1981). Carlsson is also well known for playing lead roles in several film adaptations of the Swedish writer Stig Claesson's books, such as Vem älskar Yngve Frej (1973), På palmblad och rosor (1976) and Henrietta (1983).
Carlsson was also a skilled drummer, featured on several albums in Swedish 1970s and 1980s music. He was the 'Karlsson' of the Swedish jazz fusion/psychedelic rock duo Hansson & Karlsson that were active in the late 1960s, and performed together with musicians such as Dexter Gordon, Johnny Griffin and Jimi Hendrix.
Carlsson died of liver cancer on 31 August 2017 at the age of 80.
