Marnix van den Broeke
Marnix van den Broeke used to be a professional dancer before he changed his career to become an actor. After 4 years of education in Musical Theater at the Fontys Dance Academy Tilburg in The Netherlands, and an Internship with The Dutch National Ballet, he graduated in 1999. He then stayed with the Ballet for another year before he decided to leave to work on a cruise ship. He enjoyed traveling and also the use of his other skills as an actor/singer.

The year after he got himself a main role on stage playing "The Snowman" in the Dutch version of the West-End stage show with the same name. He then later also played the same role in the West-End show in London and in Tokyo. Years of experiences in Musical Theater and Dance Theater followed. Including musical shows as Saturday Night Fever and Crazy for You.

His career suddenly changed direction after he got cast for the role of "Werewolf" in the blockbuster movie "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban". His highly skilled movement performance brought him to more interesting acting roles such as the creepy character "The Silence" in Doctor Who and "DEATH" in Terry Pratchett's "Hogfather" and "The Colour of Magic".

The fantastic roles he gets to play are sometimes physically very demanding. Also the prosthetics or costumes he gets to wear for some characters could be that too. Like in the thriller movie "The Death of Ian Stone". But he's enjoying every bit of it and he loves to act, especially when he can really dig into the personality of a character. Like with the delightful "Mr Pump" in Going Postal or "The Shadow" in "Inkheart".

Marnix believes he has only started his career and he is looking forward to play many more interesting characters. He is very grateful to have worked with many good, professional and famous actors.

He is a grateful, blessed and happy man. Follow his work & get in touch!
