I've only seen him in Big Top Pee-Wee. He was the guy who ran the circus and had that 2-inch tall wife Midge.

Full name Kristoffer Kristofferson, his father was named Lars, so I'm assuming he was Scandinavian heritage, so "-son" suffix means, as you might think, "son of Kristoffer". I imagine the name must have some significance in the family.
