Odd Borg

Odd Carl Arthur Borg was a Norwegian actor and singer. He was engaged with the Central Theater from 1953 to 1960, and with the National Theater from 1960 until his death. As a singer, he recorded the song «Jeg plystrer mens jeg går» (I Whistle While I Walk) on a gramophone record in 1957. It was a Norwegian version of the American hit «Just Walkin' in the Rain». As an actor, he is remembered for roles such as the intolerable daddy's boy and shipowner Rieber-Larsen Jr. in «Operasjon Løvsprett», as a naval commander in «Operasjon Sjøsprøyt», and the male lead role in «Støv på hjernen». The same year he died, he starred in the next-to-last Stompa film, «Stompa forelsker seg». Borg was found mysteriously dead behind a theatre stage in Oslo after the premiere of the play «Hva skal vi gjøre?» in 1965.
