5 films on Movie OTT · Active 2007–2017
Fredrik Steen is a Norwegian actor, comedian, and singer born on January 1, 1969, in Ulsteinvik, Norway (TMDB) — a small coastal town on the western edge of the country that doesn't exactly scream showbiz origin story. He's built a career that's harder to pin down than most: part live performer, part screen actor, part voice artist, with credits stretching from 2007 to a 2025 animated feature. What's striking is how consistently he shows up in the kind of Norwegian productions that travel well internationally, even when his individual roles stay quietly in the background.
About Fredrik Steen
Fredrik Steen is a Norwegian actor, comedian, and singer born on January 1, 1969, in Ulsteinvik, Norway (TMDB) — a small coastal town on the western edge of the country that doesn't exactly scream showbiz origin story. He's built a career that's harder to pin down than most: part live performer, part screen actor, part voice artist, with credits stretching from 2007 to a 2025 animated feature. What's striking is how consistently he shows up in the kind of Norwegian productions that travel well internationally, even when his individual roles stay quietly in the background.
His screen work includes a recurring presence in *Okkupert* (2015–2017), the politically charged thriller series that put Norwegian TV on the global map, where he played Espen Jørgensen (IMDb). He also appeared as Halfdan in *Heimebane* (2019) and as Einar — Gunnhild's dad — in the youth drama *Lovleg* (2018–2019), a role that's small but the kind that anchors a scene without demanding attention (Plex). That's a skill, honestly.
Steen's voice work runs parallel to his on-screen career and is arguably just as substantial. He's credited as Tråle in *Anchors Up* (2017) and has voiced characters in the Norwegian dub of *Thomas & Friends*, *Kurt Turns Evil* (2008), and *Ploddy the Police Car Makes a Splash* (2009) (IMDb). His most recent known credit is *Rufus: The Sea Serpent Who Couldn't Swim* (2025) (Watch Peak). For voice work, he's sometimes credited under the name Fredrik Knutsen — hard to say if that's a stage name, a legal name variant, or something else entirely.
