Gösta Krantz was born in Ektorp in Nacka south-east of Stockholm. He started off as a confectioner, but in 1945 turned into acting after having participated in a popular revue named Vi som vill opp.[1] He later became a permanent stage member of the well-known revue group Casino-gänget.

In 1951, Krantz made his film acting debut in 91:an Karlssons bravader, and later performed in popular comedies such as Åsa-Nisse, and various television dramas such as Rederiet.[2] In 2005, Krantz published his biography called Krantz från glädjevården.

Krantz died in 2008 in Stockholm of heart failure due to an infection.[3]
