Liam Norberg

Norberg grew up in Hagsätra, to the south of Stockholm.[1] In 1987 he acted in the film Stockholmsnatt.[2] In 1990, he was an accomplice in the Gotabanken robbery (also known as the 930 million-coup) – the robbery of an armored car which was the largest in Swedish history.[3] Three years later, around the same time as he made his breakthrough in acting in the film Sökarna,[2] he was arrested for another robbery of an armored car which took place three years earlier in Gothenburg.[4] He was sentenced to five and a half years imprisonment.[3] Three years later he was again sentenced, this time for the Gotabanken robbery, to another five years imprisonment.[5] After serving his sentences he was released in 1999.[5][6] During his time in prison he became a devout Christian.[7][8] Following his prison time, he traveled throughout Sweden to lecture and talk about his life story.[8] He has continued acting. Publishers Liber published his first book, Liam, in 2005.[9] In 2009, publishers Norstedts förlag released his second book called Insidan.[10]

Norberg was the Swedish and Nordic champion in taekwondo, and his role in the film Stockholmsnatt included a fight scene with Paolo Roberto.[1] Norberg is also a graffiti artist, and staged the first exhibition of his artwork in 2008.[11]
