Ingar Helge Gimle won The Hedda Award 2013 in the best leading actor category for the role of Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller, directed by Runar Hodne, Trøndelag Theatre.

The Hedda jury gave the following reason:

"This year's award goes to an actor with a long record from Norwegian theatre, film and TV. To him it is as natural to perform for adults and children, in classics and contemporary drama, in tragedies and comedies. In this year's role the award winner provided in a particular and present way an intense insight into a man's world, not least his dream world. In an impressive, near disturbing way he proved how his character reacted in an extreme life situation, in relation to himself and the people closest to him. Through intense and quiet acting the award winner awoke the compassion of his audience, when he in an extraordinarily convincing and strong way presented the heavy destiny of his character. This year's best leading actor award goes to Ingar Helge Gimle."

Ingar Helge Gimle made his movie debut as early as 1986 in the comedy movie The Plastic Bag.
