Peder Dahlgaard was educated at the Acting school in Odense in 1999, and have been a part of the ensemble on Odense Theatre since. He was one of the best students in the class, and is still one of the best actors, despite not appearing in many movies. In 1999 he started "H.C Andersen selvskabet af 1999" together with Claus Riis Østergaard, and in 2001 they performed "H.C Andersens liv og værk på 87 min", which is their funny and crazy way to tell the story of the great writer H.C. Andersen.He is still working as an actor in Odense Theatre, and beside that is sometimes on tour with the play "H.C. Andersens Greatest" together with Claus Riis Østergaard.
