Sven Thomas Hanzon (born 20 June 1962) is a Swedish actor and stage actor at the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm and former footballer. He was born in 1962 in Stockholm, Sweden. He worked with Ingmar Bergman in both movies and on stage. He has two children with Swedish actress Lena Endre and is now married to Åsa Hultman and living in Stockholm.

Early life and career

[edit]

Hanzon played football for Djurgårdens IF. He made his senior debut in the derby against Hammarby IF at the age of 17. He also played on the Swedish youth national team. He left a promising career as a professional football player to pursue an acting career.[1][2]

Hanzon, with several others, started the theatre group Theater Cameleont in 1982. The group later became Club Cameleont. He wrote A Joker in the Game on behalf of the Swedish Church.[2]

Hanzon was discovered by a producer from the Stockholm City Theater. He made his debut in 1985 in Arnold. He remained with the theater for several years and received most of his acting education there. He did not stay at the theater due to his lack of formal education, and then became involved in drama.[2]

Hanzon made his film debut in 1987 in Colin Nutley movie Nioende Kompaniet. He made his TV debut in 1987 on Swedish Television Drama in Stieg Trenter's series "Lysande Landning". Ingmar Bergman directed Hanzon in the TV production "Private Confessions". He played in the Bergman movie Trolösa in 2000, directed by Liv Ullmann. The movie won several honours, including the Festival Award Jury's Special Prize in Belgium.[3]

Hanzon joined the Royal Dramatic Theatre where he had his first role as the young Danceny in Dangerous Liaisons, and he has been part of the permanent ensemble ever since. 

The Royal Dramatic Theatre

With the Royal Dramatic Theatre Hanzon has collaborated in multiple productions with the director Ingmar Bergman.
