Ine Finholt Jansen (born 1973) is a Norwegian actress. For her television work she has won one Gullruten and two Komiprisen awards.

Early life

edit

Ine Jansen is a daughter of actor Per Jansen and prompter Evy Finholt. She partially grew up in Tromsø where her father worked at Hålogaland Teater, before moving back to Oslo. As a school child, she often visited her parents while they worked in Fjernsynsteatret, and her own goal of becoming an actress gradually formed.[1][2]

Career

edit

She graduated from the Norwegian Theatre Academy in 1999. She was mainly a stage actress, working at Nationaltheatret, with various TV roles including the series Dag.[1] In 2011 she was cast for the new series Helt perfekt [no], a Norwegian knockoff of Klovn where she would play the wife of Thomas Giertsen. Ine Jansen immediately won a Gullruten award in 2012 for best actress. She became a celebrity in a way that never had happened through stage work, and many confused her for Giertsen's real-life wife, leading bystanders to accuse Giertsen of adultery when he went out with his real wife.[2] She later won the Komiprisen twice, in 2015 and 2016, both for Helt perfekt.[1]

She also has film credits including Norske byggeklosser and TV credits including Kjære landsmenn [no],[1] where she played the Queen of Norway.[3]

Personal life

edit

She had twins in the early 2000s. Being married to Erik Ulfsby at the time, they later divorced.[1] In 2022 she entered a relationship with Atle Knudsen.[4]
