Ine Finholt Jansen (born 1973) is a Norwegian actress. For her television work she has won one Gullruten and two Komiprisen awards.
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]
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 , 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 , [1] where she played the Queen of Norway. [3]
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]
