When he was young, Passer was very shy, and had a dream of becoming an actor, but since his father wanted him to get a real job, he attended J. Lauritzen's sea training school near Svendborg in 1944. But since he had ongoing problems with seasickness, he later started at De frederiksbergske teatres Elevskole.

In regular day-to-day life he was quite shy in behaviour, somewhat the opposite of his theatrical appearances.
