Ine Jansen is a daughter of actor Per Jansen and prompter Evy Finholt. She partially grew up in Tromsø where her father worked at Hålogaland Teater, before moving back to Oslo.

She graduated from the Norwegian Theatre Academy in 1999. She was mainly a stage actress, working at Nationaltheatret, with various TV roles including the series Dag.^[1] In 2011 she was cast for the new series Helt perfekt [no], a Norwegian knockoff of Klovn where she would play the wife of Thomas Giertsen.
