The jury’s reasoning is as follows:

“During your long career, you have created many different genuine roles where you have shown a contrast and breadth from the deeply dramatic to the lighter humorous. You have done this in a natural and convincing way. With feeling, sharpness and knowledge, you have worked your way up to the professional totality and breadth that you master and possess today. You are a great example for the industry, media, and audience.”

Krister will accept his award and be interviewed on August 26th at Zita Cinema.
