Career

Aabel made his début on stage on 11 October 1897 at the Christiania Theatre in Oslo, and was a prominent actor in the Norwegian theatre.[1] In 1917, he began appearing in silent films in Sweden. He then returned to Norway in 1927, where he worked in many films, including several after the advent of sound. He made his last film in 1939, aged 72.

Hauk Aabel was a reserve officer (Norwegian: vernepliktig officer) in the Norwegian Army, with the rank of First Lieutenant.[1]

He was the informant who provided sounding material to the pioneering linguistic study of Haugen and Joos in 1952, called Tone and Intonation in East Norwegian.

His son Per Aabel was also a popular comic actor in Norwegian films. Aabel died in 1961.

gollark: What's textfiles?
gollark: I'm sure I could get a copy if I cared.
gollark: Vaguely. It's meant to be some sort of text on bomb-making and stuff, but has been criticized for actually being pretty inaccurate a lot of the time and apparently maybe having edited wrong-er copies floating around.
gollark: I don't really care very much either way. Also, "know too much"?
gollark: ... you know people can read the filenames right?
