The Dutch film industry is a pretty small community, so within Holland, I think most actors know each other and have worked with each other.
Rutger Hauer is a very famous Dutch actor who did quite a lot internationally. Another Dutch actress who is working a lot is called Famke Janssen. There's a few more.
I always used to be more of a city guy, and more and more I'm starting to enjoy being in nature.
Stepping on set is always overwhelming.
When you get to work with great people like on our movie, Blake and Ellen Burstyn and Harrison and Kathy Baker, Amanda Crew, the first minute or two it's like, 'Oh my God, I'm working with you,or Harrison,' people you've admired for so long, after like five minutes you realize we're all trying to do the same thing, we all have a passion for telling good stories and we're going to try to make the story the best possible.
To play different characters on a TV show where you're working every day, playing multiple characters every day, it's so ridiculously intense.
