Thomas is best known as an skillfull improviser in several norwegian improvtheatergroups like «Bare Flaks», «NorgesLykkeligste» and «Grenland Impro». He is a driving force and a regular actor in "Makrellrevyen», a comedy show that takes
place every sommer holiday. Which have received good reviews in Kristiansand.
As a freelance actor he seeks jobs on stage, television and film. Although for many he is considered a comedian, he has good abilities when it comes to more serious drama. Well known for his character work.
His acting characteristics can be described as intens, dangerous, natural, yet over the top. High status and low status.
His dayjob is as a theatre teacher in Porsgrunn town. Yet he has had many acting jobs in small and large productions around the country, mainly theaterwork. He was for many years a regular actor/entertainer at Dyreparken Zoo, in the actorensemble in Kardemomme City as The Robber Kasper, and in Hakkebakkeskogen as Bamsefar. Considered one of norway's best children's entertainment platforms and most visited places in Norway by native norwegians.
He has entertained at countless Christmas and summerparties. Developed and written own plays commissioned by companies. For the past 5 years he has been an director and leadrole in the play "Visit to Skien Cathedral Church".
In the summer of 2019 he got the chance to play the wartime traitor Harald F.Knudsen, in Grenland Friteater's production of "1933 Meierislaget" directed by Tor Arne Ursin on Porsgrunn International Theatre Festival. With great reviews.
As founder and member of multiple improvgroups, he spends a lot of time leading, instructing and developing this to become a larger community for a larger audience.
He has a master's degree in fine arts and is educated as a lecturer in drama and theatre at the University of Agder. Yet after graduating with a bachelor's degree, he went on to his master's degree and made two theatrical performances «My Body Vol.1 and Vol.2.» Which reached national headlines in the Aftenposten-newspaper.
Thomas is a former Norwegian champion in theatre sports. Since then, he has played well over 800 impromptu performances and shows around the country. He has several times shared the stage with international improvisers such as Derek Flores and Lee White, as well as the ensemble of Det Andre Teateret in Oslo. Thomas has been on tour with his own groups with performances and workshops. In 2018, he and his group Bare Flaks was awarded «the Cultiva Talent Scholarship.»
