Rommelde Bim Bam Bom
"Rommelde Bim Bam Bom" is a fairy tail written by a former member of our amateur theatre company. We performed this play of 1,5 hours eight times in two days for children between the age of 8 and 12. I play Leo, a sailor man (with the red shirt) who lost his girlfriend and who had money debts with the biggest criminal on the island. Because my wig was too small I had to let my hair grow which is also visible on some photographs from Peer Gynt, another play we worked on. I looked at several characters for this by Johhny Depp and Billy Chrystal but also Enjolras, a role from Les Miserables in which I've played a few years ago.
Peer Gynt
Peer Gynt was my second play with amateur theatre company that we performed in the open-air. Here I also played several small roles like a bored wedding guest, a trole in the mountains, a guard in a house for the mentally ill. But in my biggest role I had to act out was Death. I tried to characterize this as a man without emotions, his job was to melt people to new spirits.

Nienoord 2006
This was at the home interior market at a country estate nearby. Together with some other people, we walked around there for a day in character.

Rumpelstiltskin
"Rumpelstiltskin" was a play I did with our amateur theatre company. I played the handsome Prince, the King, Jeroen. For this role I watched Prince Harry from 'The Black Adders' and Rusty from 'Oceans Eleven'. Of course I also got the girl in this play.

Les Miserables
"Les Miserables" was my First play. In May 2005 I joined the local amateur theatre company and we had two shows in the open-air in September. It was a real challenge to have several roles, a prisoner, a drifter but my biggest part was Enjolras, a French student in the revolution and leader in the civil war where he also found his death.
