He attended the Royal Dramatic Training Academy in Stockholm.^[1]

Ekborg married Lola Sjölund. Two of their children became actors, Dan and Anders Ekborg.^[2]

He died of liver cancer in 1969. He may be heard as the recitor in the 1956 recording of Förklädd Gud by Lars-Erik Larsson with Elisabeth Söderström and Erik Saedén, conducted by Stig Westerberg. In 1967, Ekborg made an album called I Tom Lehrers vackra värld ("In the beautiful world of Tom Lehrer"), with 12 of Tom Lehrer's songs translated into Swedish. Lehrer wrote in a letter to the producer Per-Anders Boquist that, "Not knowing any Swedish, I am obviously not equipped to judge, but it sounds to me as though Mr. Ekborg is perfect for the songs", along with further compliments to pianist Leif Asp for unexpected additional flourishes.^[3]
