Tommy Kenter

Actor · Born April 5, 1950 (76) · Copenhagen, Denmark

Tommy Kenter has an incredible repertoire, and does all sorts of characters, from his goofy character Keld to his hard-of-hearing and very eccentric Fru Kristoff. Although preferably a comedy actor, he showed that he could do serious bits as well with Dance of the Polar Bears (1990). With Per Pallesen as Mathiesen and Tommy's corresponding character Fru Kristoff, he achieved legendary comedy status in the 80s. Just as people thought he was coming to the end of his career, he re-emerged as the fantastic Anton in Chop Chop (2001), the nosy and very selfish neighbour.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
