I was born deaf and was the only deaf in the family. I have a deaf wife and 6 children. They can all sign language, one of them is deaf. I speak Dutch sign language and International Sign which is English. I've always dreamed of playing a part in a film. Although I have no experience with a real film, I am extremely motivated to learn how to act! I want to start with background roles. I want to say explicitly that I don't want to make money with it. To achieve my dream and do what I love is a great reward in itself!
On my FaceBook I have 157k followers. I am known among the deaf.

I've been making videos every day for about 7.5 years. Since October 2015. Many deaf people tell me to do something with acting because they think I can do it too! This has resulted in deaf international festivals inviting me to their festivals to perform or participate in their festivals. This gave me a lot of social experience.
My goal is to gain experience in the acting world and play small background roles. I ask you if it is possible to have me play a background role in a show or film.
Thanks in advance.
