Iben Hjejle

In Klovn's world of Danish celebrities playing warped versions of themselves, Iben Hjejle appears as herself: composed, dry, unbothered by the chaos orbiting Frank and Casper. She carries an air of normalcy the show constantly threatens to puncture, meeting their schemes with weary patience rather than outrage.

The joke of Klovn depends on real people underplaying their own absurdity, and Hjejle's flat, unimpressed delivery is the perfect counterweight to Frank Hvam's flailing. She never overplays the bit, letting her genuine reputation as a serious actress do the comic work simply by standing still inside the mess.
