Erik Paaske

Erik Johannes Paaske, der var søn af cementstøber Frithjof Paaske (død 1982) og hustru Johanne Thomasen (død 1967), gik helt traditionelt i lære som murer i årene 1948-1952. Derefter arbejdede han i seks år som murersvend på Kolding kanten og ernærede sig desuden som gårdsanger og balmusiker. Hans hobby var at spille amatørkomedie. Den kongelige skuespiller Søren Weiss opfordrede ham under et besøg i Kolding til at rejse til København for at blive professionel skuespiller. I 1958 blev han elev på Det kongelige Teaters elevskole og indgik efter udstået elevtid i teatrets faste ensemble fra 1961 og frem til 1974. Efter en afstikker til Holstebro Revyen som kunstnerisk leder forlod han Det Kongelige Teater i 1974. Siden blev han free-lance med særlig tilknytning til Folketeatret. Han havde også engagementer bl.a. i Lorry, på Amager-Scenen og på Det Danske Teater. I 1975 optrådte han i Cirkusrevyen, hvor han spillede harmonika og bl.a. havde visen "Vort Fædreland". Han havde også engagement i revyen i Holstebro og var atter med i Cirkusrevyen i årene 1985, 1986 og 1990. Bl.a. havde han i 1986 en duet i Cirkusrevyen med Claus Ryskjær - "Hva vi men'sker dog ska' og må gennemgå". Erik Paaske havde også stor succes som Tewje i "Spillemand på en tagryg", som han spillede ad tre gange i Aalborg, i Odense og på Nørrebros Teater. Desuden spillede han bl.a. titelrollen i "Hr. Puntila", Dr. Stockman i "En Folkefjende", titelrollen i "Jeppe på Bjerget" og Willy Loman i "En sælgers død" ...
