Lars Gunnar �berg is a Swedish actor, musician, film director and artist. Between 1960?64 he studied at the Konstfack department of graphic design. �berg has produced some of the most successful films in Sweden, depicting "typical" Swedish life and customs in a usually humorous way. �bergs character can be described as an inept outsider with a large heart, constantly pushed aside without noticing. His films have generated over 300 million Swedish kronor in Sweden alone; no large scale international distribution has ever been attempted. His 1980 film S�llskapsresan was entered into the 12th Moscow International Film Festival. As an artist, he is famous for making various lithographs; one of his stocks in trade are sketchy Mickey Mouse drawings. He is a member of Svenska Serieakademien. He also re-designed the seat textiles for the Stockholm Metro subway in the 1990s. As a musician, he played in the nationally successful band Electric Banana Band. �berg is also the creator of Trazan & Banarne, one of the most beloved Swedish kids shows ever. It was shown on Sveriges Television in the late 70s/early 80s.
