ask me for
Producties waar humor nodig is. Ik ben erg goed in het spelen van types. Kijk bijvoorbeeld de man van de Albert Heijn commercials of Tineke Schouten in de commercials van C1000, dat lijkt me geweldig om te doen. Maar ook in tv- en filmproducties ben ik voor dat soort rollen een goede kandidaat. Dat wil natuurlijk niet zeggen dat ik mij niet geschikt acht voor andere opdrachten, maar humor is toch wel een van mijn specialiteten.

remarks
I have a lot of humor, I am original in my actions and very enthusiastic in the game. I can also dance very merrily (the Charleston for example). I can also do a lot with my voice.

awards
I was nominated for the election of 'Meppeler of the year 2012' Sinterklaas and the mysterious crystal ball was nominated for the Gouden Pepernoot in the category 'Best Sinterklaas film 2012'. Sinterklaas and the secret of the Meppeler Toren has won the Golden Staff for its contribution to preserving the Sinterklaas heritage in the Netherlands. Sinterklaas and the danger in the parcel cellar has been nominated for the Gouden Pepernoot in the category 'Best Sinterklaas film 2011'. The successes I have achieved are more personal euphorias. I have performed at major annual meetings of major organizations, business clubs and corporate societies. I was also suddenly offered a small role during the recording of 'Mother, I want to join the revue'. I got to sing a solo for the camera.
