Percy Nilegård
Percy Nilegård is a fictional character played by Johan Rheborg since 1991, and one of the primary staples of the Swedish comedy group Killinggänget.

I manegen med Glenn Killing (In the ring with Glenn Killing) 1992 Percy is the producer of a talent-spot show hosted by Glenn Killing on which he makes frequent appearances.
