He is best recognised in the role of the luckless mechanic Sörselssön in the Uuno Turhapuro series of films who works at an auto-repair shop with the foul-mouthed Härski Hartikainen.

Salminen's company took a loan denominated in foreign currency before the devaluations of Finnish markka in the early 1990s. As a result of the devaluations and the recession, the company went bankrupt, forcing Salminen himself into insolvency himself. As the Finnish legal system does not recognize personal bankruptcy, even a part of his pension still continues to be deducted for this intractable debt.
