Einar Vaage

Einar Vaage (March 1, 1889 – June 11, 1973) was a Norwegian actor.

Vaage was active in Oslo from 1921 onward, where he was engaged with the Central Theater (from 1925 to 1931) and the Oslo New Theater. The comedy roles that Vaage played include the clerk Styver in Henrik Ibsen's play Love's Comedy.

Vaage appeared in 49 Norwegian films. He played bit roles in most of them.
