Most of the characters he played were simply named "The Bear" or "Bear". The only exceptions were, Vrålet från vildmarken (1988) when he played "The Bald-Headed Bear", Björnen (1988) when he played "The Kodiak Bear", and Walking Thunder (1995) where he played the title character. Ironically, the original French title of Björnen (1988) (L'ours) translates to "The Bear".
