Jes Holtsø

Who is Jes Holtsø?

Jes Holtsø is a Danish actor most notable for his role as Kjeld's son Børge in the Olsen Gang films. The reason that he was chosen to play Børge was actually his thick glasses, which became his characteristic. Later he played the Olsens' son, William Olsen in the Danish television series Huset på Christianshavn from 1970 to 1977 and the film based on the series Ballade på Christianshavn in 1971. As an adult Jes never pursued acting, though he did take part in the last Olsen Gang film, Olsen Bandens sidste stik, as the adult Børge.

After having been a drug-addict and alcoholic for much of his youth, he is now clean, and has, himself, worked at an institution to help addicts. He has recently competed in the Danish version of Britain's Got Talent, as a singer, after which he released an album.

Today Jes works as a theater picturesque at the Royal Danish Theatre.
