Stefán Karl in a car commercial
There aren’t any footage of this anywhere or photos for that matter but I do know that it happened in 2001, they’re just not any recordings of this that I know of but I did manage to find a forum post talking about said commercial,it’s not much but it’s something.
1. Nissan Almera A
“Icelandic Jim Carrey”…or Stefán Karl Stefánsson goes with his family in a tour around the country.The kid is having ice cream, the lady is applying makeup.He starts driving off at high speeds, He gets out of the Whale Bay tunnel at the same time as he goes inside.But when they came back to the same place as when they started, Stefán looks at the boy, the ice cream is all over his face,he laughs this beautiful laughter .. looks at the woman .. the makeup is covering her whole face.She yells and screams.He runs out of the car and gets into a car trunk and goes back into the car .. presumably to clean the family. - This is a really great advertisement,the main character is Stefán, because he is so funny.
2. Nissan Almera A
Same ad,…..well almost, with the same actor and the same car. He is cleaning the car, but when he goes into the car, turns up his FM on the bottom, with a lollipop in his mouth and it ends up being really loud. So he almost swallowed the whole lollipop .. But she walks past. He walks outside the car, manually takes it out and looks at her, wondering why she did not come to help him. After a short while, he returns to the car in the same position. - Not as funny as the first but still.

Stefán Karl in Water of Life - Vatn lífsins (2001)
“Stefán Karl Stefánsson is the leading actor, a young actor who has become famous for his talent in comedy in a few years. He likes to make Illuga a laughing temper, but can not interpret his anguish when he is torn. Atli Rafn Sigurðarson is in the role of Sigurður his brother, does not know if he is going to make him a cobblestone sculpture or looking deeper and does not do either. Compared to them, Nanna Kristín Magnúsdóttir and Jón Páll Eyjólfsson are always credible as Ásta and Ingólfur, Illuga’s friends, who alone stand with him when he is hard at the valley, Nanna Kristín is making an incredible experience in his interpretation of the long-haired neglect. The children who played the brothers and Ásta young went very well in their role.”

Stefán Karl Stefánsson actor visited K100 this morning.
“Stefán Karl Stefánsson’s actor is no longer diagnosed with cancer after struggling for some time. He had been diagnosed with a tumor in last year and treated well. Earlier this year, however, he had a liver disease after the cancer had been cut off and the condition was not bright.
Stefán’s recovery, on the other hand, has been more bright hope and today there is no cancer in the body.
Stefán came to chat on K100 this morning discussing the fight with cancer, a performance show he will be in the near future and a stand up show.
Stefán says that, among other things, he has been responding to foreign media for recovery all the time, and although he is not diagnosed with cancer today, he expects to be back in meteorology later this year. “I’m available for a while,” says Stefán, adding that there is something to celebrate and now he finds the energy acting again about the body.”

It is safe to say that Stefán Karl Stefánsson is an actor that has touched the hearts of the nation in recent years. Stefán Karl passed away on Monday, while the 43-year-old had fought with bile duct cancer for two years.
Stefán Karl Stefánsson was probably the only Icelandic actor who most of the world’s people knew in sight and still recognized. Millions of people across the globe grew up shouting at him through the television screen, so right to let him know that it was about the latest mystery of Robbie Rotten.
Stefán played in numerous Icelandic works and fascinated the nation with his personality over the past two decades.
On April 1, 2012, Stefán Karl was invited to the episode “Sjálfstætt fólk á Stöð 2”, where Jon Ársæll Þórðarson talked to Stefán about life and drama.
Together they went to a visit to the Lazytown headquarters, a visit to the mother of Stefán and interacted with Hafnarfjörður harbor.
Stefán discussed the time in Lazytown and when he landed a big role as the grinch in the musical about how this protagonist The Grinch stole Christmas in a musical that was set up in Los Angeles.
Stefán was bullied during childhood and opened up to Jón Ársæl. Stebbi was a learned pilot and a great deal for aircraft. The bullying formed Stefán Karl and thought he could reduce bullying in society.
“I really like people who find out,” said Stefán, in conversation with Jon, who describes the man Stefán Karl was.
Roughly translated from an article that posted about the re-broadcasting.
