My past experiences with various martial arts such as Escrima and Kung Fu earned me a role in the film "Gütterdammerung" some time ago (which will be released in the spring of 2016). The director of this film was very enthusiastic about my acting ability and thus inspired me to explore this path further.
The fight coordinator Olivier Bisback - known for many films and his collaboration with Demi Moore and Jean-Claude Van Damme, among others - was also full of praise and even wrote a reference to help me in future ventures:

I have had the pleasure of working with Steven on several film productions.
Characteristic of Steven are his professionalism, passion and enthusiasm.
Steven is also a great person as a person. Warm, honest and loyal.

I also receive acting lessons on a regular basis from Kathleen Geens, who has a Master's degree in Dramatic Arts and prepares me for any role that could possibly be assigned to me.
By profession I am a fire artist and founder of Oersprong, a group of fire dancers who now perform fire spectacles throughout Belgium and beyond.
( www.oersprong.be ) From this experience I gain quite some "stage presence" and acting experience, because our fire shows also involve a lot of acting.
I have attached a number of photos to give you an idea of my appearance. As you can see, I have a bit of a "character head", a face with a lot of expression and individuality.
