Tor Isedal (1924-1990), full name Tor Edvard Carlsson, was a Swedish actor who dubbed various characters on Sesam and Svenska Sesam, including the Salesman, Herry Monster, Beautiful Day Monster, and the Big Bad Wolf.
Tor Isedal started acting in the 1940s, but his breakthrough came when he met Ingmar Bergman, who gave him a role in the 1960 movie Jungfrukällan (The Virgin Spring), as a brutish mute herdsman. After that, he received many more roles in major TV, film, and theater productions. International co-productions ranged from Pippi in the South Seas (as Pedro) to Victor Frankenstein (as a caretaker).
Isedal was the first Swedish voice for Winnie the Pooh and other cartoon roles included Flintheart Glomgold in the first season of Ducktales, Rama in The Jungle Book, Egyptian rivals Edifis and Artifis in Asterix and Cleopatra, and Jaq and Gus in Cinderella.
