Ruben Brinkman Actor
As an actor I will always try to create a new reality together with my fellow actors and the crew. I love doing that.
I might be a typical Dutchman, but I've started my career in England, where I played Vincent van Gogh in the National Theatre play VINCENT IN BRIXTON. My first film part was also in an international production: in Lars von Trier's MANDERLAY.
In Holland I've played in many theatre plays in recent years and in the popular tv-series FEUTEN.
I like very much working on international productions. To travel to new destinations. To meet new inspiring people. And to tell new stories!
I am fluent in Dutch, English, French and German.
