Career
After training,[when?] Thunberg joined Riksteatern, or the "Riks",[8] where he toured as an actor in plays of its youth program, the "Unga Riks" [Young Riksteatern], among them Thomas Tidholm's Tralala-la (1997), Börje Lindström's Sprit (1998), Irena Kraus' Ciao bella (1999), and Isa Schöier's Min bror (2000), as well as Petter S.

Greta's school strike
He originally stated concerning his daughter Greta's school strike for the climate that "She is supposed to be in school; we cannot support her action,"[15] Later on he stated that "Greta forced us to change our lives, I didn’t have a clue about the climate. We started looking into it, reading all the books – she has read them too."[16] He now manages Greta's career.[17] He accompanied her on the Malizia II racing yacht when she crossed the Atlantic Ocean to visit the Americas.[18]
