The son of drama teachers Arend and Teunke, he grew up in Amsterdam but at age 15 ran away to the sea and spent a year scrubbing decks aboard a freighter. Returning home, he worked as an electrician and a carpenter for three years while attending drama classes at night school. He went on to join an experimental acting troupe, which he stayed with for five years before getting the 1969 television series Floris, a Dutch Ivanhoe-like medieval action show.
