Actor Stephen Lindholm was only nine years old when he stepped into the role of Pelle. After his acting career, he switched to journalism and started at Kommunalarbetaren. He remained there for a full 40 years until he retired at the age of 66.
In retrospect, Stephen has directed some criticism at the production as he felt that the actors were paid a little poorly when compared to how much money the series and films brought in.
– If I remember correctly, I received SEK 40,000 for a TV series and four films. I heard a report that the films alone grossed over 20 million kroner worldwide – at that time. It would probably have been nice if you got a part of it. Now you feel a little taken advantage of, he previously told The Express.

And yes, Vi på Saltkråkan actually became such a big hit that it can still be streamed on SVT Play.
