Anders Frandsen

Who was Anders Frandsen?

Anders Frandsen was a Danish musician, singer, actor and TV presenter. He was born in Copenhagen.

Frandsen was not a trained actor, but he appeared in theatre performances during the 1980s. He later became a TV presenter on Danish Kanal 2, alongside Camilla Miehe-Renard.

In 1991 he came to fame when he won the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix with the song Lige der hvor hjertet slår, composed by Michael Elo. The song didn't do well at the 1991 Eurovision Song Contest, and placed 19th with only 8 points. That didn't hurt his popularity however, and the following year at the Danish national final, he was the host.

He then became a TV host on TV3 for the next few years. He appeared on lots of shows like "Knald eller Fald", "Stjerneskud", and also presented the network's morning TV. In 1997, he slowly disappeared from TV again.

He later resurfaced at the Danish Melodi Grand Prix final in 2001, presenting one of the songs, and also guest-starred in an episode of Ørnen in 2004. In 2005 he guest-starred in an episode of the Danish TV show Twist & Shout, on TV2 Charlie.
