Carl Edvard Persson (17 January 1888 – 19 September 1957) was a celebrated Swedish actor, director and singer. He was born in Sankt Pauli parish, Malmö. During his lifetime, he was well-known in the entire country, but through many of his films and songs, he is often associated with his home province, Scania (Swedish and Danish: Skåne). He was also a popular entertainer in Denmark
As the result of an American 1947 invitation, he completed a 100-day tour in the US "Swedish communities" and made 36 concerts in New York City and in 35 other American cities. One of the musicians who accompanied him on tour was Alvar Kraft.
His first screen role was in the 1923 silent film Studenterna på Tröstehult. In total, Persson made 45 feature films, among those were South of the Highway and Kalle på Spången. He was one of the most popular film actors of his time, often playing the same kind of character - the jovial and good-natured man from Scania.
As a singer he released numerous records. Among his more famous songs were Kalle på Spången, Jag har bott vid en landsväg, Jag är en liten gåsapåg från Skåne and Vi klarar oss nog ändå.
He died in Helsingborg.
