Heikki Kinnunen
Also Known As: Joosua Huurteinen
Biography: Heikki Kinnunen (born 8 April 1946, in Raahe) is a Finnish actor, who became well known in the beginning of the 1970s in the comedy program Ällitälli. Kinnunen was known specially for his roles in comedy films and -series. He has played the leading role in Vääpeli Körmy films and appeared in five Uuno Turhapuro films. Kinnunen's most famous comedic catch-phrase is "Onks Viljoo näkyny?"

Who Viljo is or why Kinnunen's character is looking for him is never explained in the skits themselves. Source: Article "Heikki Kinnunen" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.
