Tranås, Sweden

January 29, 1965
His breakthrough was performing in the musical Cabaret at Oscarsteatern in 1989. Since then he has played many roles in musicals, including Les Misérables and The Phantom of the Opera. He has won the Swedish theatre award, Guldmasken several times, and has been a recording artist in his own right. In 1993, Carlsohn entered Melodifestivalen with the song "Ge mig din hand", written by Martin Klaman and Hasse Skoog, where it shared 6th (last) place. He now lives in Norrköping, Sweden, performing at Östgötateatern. His roles include Sir Percy Blakeney in The Scarlet Pimpernel, which was critically acclaimed, and Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet. From December 2008 to May 2009, he will play the Emcee in Cabaret.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
