(On how he got a part in
Songs from the Second Floor (2000)) "They found me at IKEA of all places.
I and my wife chose fabric for a tablecloth when someone asked if I
wanted to test film. I wasn't very interested, but did it anyway. I
didn't know who
Roy Andersson was, but had seen his first film
A Love Story (1970) when I
was young. Since the encounter at IKEA I have worked with Roy on seven
commercials for Arla [a milk brand] in Finland and it has made me a
kind of celebrity over there."
