Hans Morten Hansen

Hans Morten Hansen (born February 28, 1964, in Stavanger, Norway) is a Norwegian screen performer and stand-up comedian whose work bridges sharp live comedy and character-driven acting.

He gained international attention in August 2010 when he set a world record for the longest continuous stand-up performance, a feat that underscored his stamina, timing, and rapport with audiences.

On screen, Hansen is known for memorable supporting turns across Norwegian film and TV. His credits include Troll Hunter (as Finn), Curling King (as Arild Brekke), Framing Mom (as the Grand Hotel restaurant owner), and Kraken (as Olav), where he brings grounded humor and human detail to genre and comedy alike.

TV viewers also recognize him as Rolf Emil Gullestad in the Side by Side universe, including Side om Side: Juespesial, På benken, and Humorkalender—a recurring role that highlights his knack for everyday comedy and ensemble storytelling.
