Jon Skolmen is a Actor Norvegien born on 1 november 1940 at Oslo (Norvege)
Jon Skolmen (born 1 November 1940) is a Norwegian actor and comedian. Between 1963 and 1981, he was employed by the Norwegian state broadcasting company NRK, where he most notably co-wrote and appeared in "The Nor-Way to Broadcasting" alongside Trond Kirkvaag, which won the Golden Rose of Montreux and Chaplin Award at the Montreux Television Festival in 1976.
Skolmen also found a big audience in neighbouring Sweden co-starring in the five "Sällskapsresan" films as Ole Bramserud, the Norwegian sidekick of main character Stig Helmer-Olsson who was played by Swedish actor Lasse Åberg. In the 1980s he also co-starred in the wildly popular Swedish sketch comedy show Nöjesmassakern.
In 2007, Skolmen again collaborated with his former partner Trond Kirkvaag, when he starred in the NRK sitcom "Luftens helter", which was created shortly before Kirkvaag's death.
Jon Skolmen is the father of actors Christian and Tine Skolmen, brother of director Eli Skolmen Ryg and uncle of actors Anne Ryg and Hege Schøyen, with whom he played in the 1991 Swedish comedy Den ofrivillige golfaren. In the film, Skolmen and Schøyen were supposed to play lovers. The characters' on-screen relationship was toned down to a near friendship to make the two actors less uncomfortable.
He received the Norwegian Comedy Award's honorary prize for lifetime achievement in 2009.
Skolmen has also appeared on British children's television. In 1971 he presented Play School for the BBC, though for one week only. In 1980 he appeared in a one-off special co-produced by the BBC and NRK called Jon, Brian, Kirsti and Jon in which he appeared with his compatriot Kirsti Sparboe, and the British performers Brian Cant (with whom Skolmen co-wrote the script) and Jonathan Cohen.

The plot follows a stuffy, nerdy Swede, Stig-Helmer Olsson (Lasse Åberg), who travels to the fictional town of Nueva Estocolmo in Gran Canaria. At the airport in Sweden, he meets a man from Norway, Ole Bramserud (Jon Skolmen). Before the trip, he calls for a meeting with a psychiatrist called Dr. B. A:son Levander for treating his flying-fear. Levander then cons Stig-Helmer into smuggling money to Nueva Estocolmo for another of the travellers, Gösta Angerud (Roland Jansson) by telling him that he has an aunt at Nueva Estocolmo and gives Stig-Helmer the money in a christmas present. (Unknown to Stig-Helmer, the money is stuffed in a bread loaf.) Among the other travellers are two middle-aged women, Maj-Britt (Lottie Ejebrant) and Siv (Kim Anderzon); the alcoholic duo Berra Ohlsson (Sven Melander) and Robban Söderberg (Weiron Holmberg) who looks for a liquor store named Pepe's Bodega throughout the movie; and the Storch couple who are laughed at by Berra and Robban because of the similar pronouncing of Storch and stork.
