Thomas "Rocco" Hansen
Career
Born Erwin Johan Georg Wedel in Bergen, Thomas "Rocco" Hansen won silver at the Norwegian striptease championship at twenty before releasing Rocco og russen in 2004 — a film built around Norway’s russ graduation-celebration culture that reportedly sold 10,000 copies — and self-directing and self-producing The Apprentice in 2007, screened at Oslo’s Frogner cinema in what is documented as the first pornographic film shown in a Norwegian cinema. He took a guest role on the soap opera Hotel Cæsar in 2005 and was the subject of a critical documentary, Pornostjerne?, by director John Sullivan, which Norwegian Wikipedia credits with reducing his standing in Norwegian youth culture. In 2011 he was reported to be pursuing a Progress Party political career, later appearing on a 2015 debate programme under the name Werner Wedel.
Signature: A two-film Norwegian domestic career whose second title is documented as the first pornographic film ever screened in a Norwegian cinema — the clearest domestic-industry milestone on this list.
