A Dream Called Cinema and Theater

1-. How was your childhood? Honestly, really good. I have great parents who did their best to look out for me. I participated in some Christmas plays at the church we attended when I was younger, which may have been my first exposure to acting. But I was always dramatic as a child, and enjoyed playing different characters, even prior to being given a script to work with. 2. - From what age did you decide to be an actor and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV? Although my parents are supportive of my acting now, they did not present acting as a viable job option when I was a child. Many actors don’t get a post-secondary education, and it was important to my parents that I got my university degree, because it opens up so many more options for you in the world.

I remember the day I really began to believe I could actually do this as a career.

1-. How was your childhood? I was a dreamy, touchy child, growing up in a small Dutch nowhere village. With a vivid imagination, for a long time I enjoyed playing with toy animals, which, as you may imagine, also could talk to each other. I also loved reading, collecting comic books, pop music. And learning languages such as English, French and German. Unfortunately, in my surroundings the level of decency and inspiration was poor. And I did not really connect with my parents. Or my peers. It seemed they all lived in another galaxy. Or possibly I did. Left on my own devices I sort of struggled through my childhood.
