| Carice van Houten Guest Stars on THE SIMPSONS! |
Carice van Houten is probably
best known as the Red Witch, Melisandre in the wildly popular HBO series, Game
of Thrones. She’s also the winner of
five, Golden Calf awards (The Dutch equivalent of our Oscar Award).
Van Houten’s amazing talent first
blew me away as the star of my all time favorite dramatic film, Paul
Verhoeven’s, Black Book. Now van Houten
has found herself as guest star on the Simpsons. Her character named Anneke van Houten will
debut on the May 3rd episode.
This incredibly talented
actress comes from a gifted Dutch family that’s deeply routed in in art, music,
television and theater. Aside from
having great music and acting chops van Houten has mastered several languages
including German, English and French.
The album, See You On The Ice
is a hit in Europe but has not been promoted well in the USA. It was a labor of love for van Houten along
with co-writer, producer and master international musician, Ken
Stringfellow. I love that album that’s
entirely in English and available on iTunes.
Van Houten has had limited
success in the USA being cast in such films as Valkyrie, Repo Men and The Fifth
Estate.
In coming months van Houten
will appear in the both the Jessie Owen’s biopic, Race and Blumhouse Production’s, Incarnate. Of course there are other film in various
stages of development waiting to exploit van Houten’s exceptional talents.
Comedy has never been lost on
van Houten who was raised partially on Laurel and Hardy films. Her great sense
of humor is showcased on many six second Vine.com films and pictures all over
the Internet.
Hopefully Crimefile News can land a video
interview of van Houten for this blog.
This actress is a real star that is Oscar quality in every respect. I’m confident she will be cast in the right
film where we will see that happen.
In the mean time very soon we will
enjoy a bit of silliness that The Simpsons are known for with my favorite
star!
