From 1928 to 1932 he was at the New Theater in Oslo.[1] Later he was employed at the National Theatre in Oslo.
During the Second World War, Hauge became a member of Nasjonal Samling (NS) and the Norwegian Cultural Assembly. He also appeared in the NS propaganda film Unge viljer from 1943. Hauge was sentenced to prison for two and a half years and loss of rights for 10 years during the legal purge in Norway after the war. The verdict based on his membership in the NS and the Cultural Assembly.[4]
