Early Life
Alfredson was born in 1965 in Lidingö, Stockholms län, Sweden. Being the son of comedian, writer, and director Hans "Hasse" Alfredson, Tomas was used to being treated differently from an early age. " number of people were public property, and he was one of them", Alfredson said of his father. Hasse was seldom home, and Tomas was mostly raised by his mother. "But I participated in film productions every summer, it was probably a way for us to reach each other (...) I thought it was great fun."
Alfredson would often have minor roles in the Hasseåtage series of popular films, that featured the comedy-duo of his father and Tage Danielsson - such as the role of the "Count" in The Apple War (1971), his sole line of dialogue being "Adieu, mon plaisir" ("Goodbye, my pleasure").

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“It is so very late that we
May call it early by and by. Good night.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The nature of women’s oppression is unique: women are oppressed as women, regardless of class or race; some women have access to significant wealth, but that wealth does not signify power; women are to be found everywhere, but own or control no appreciable territory; women live with those who oppress them, sleep with them, have their children—we are tangled, hopelessly it seems, in the gut of the machinery and way of life which is ruinous to us.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
