Michiel Huisman’s 5 most popular quotes

  • The ‘Age of Adaline’ was very special because it marks for me the first male lead on a proper Hollywood production.
  • I guess I was a child actor. Acting was one of the things I did alongside going to school: I’d be playing guitar, I’d be playing soccer, and I would be acting in movies.
  • TV has gotten perhaps better than your average film script, but at the same time, it’s fun to give it all you’ve got for a few months and produce a story.
  • To play different characters on a TV show where you’re working every day, playing multiple characters every day, it’s so ridiculously intense.
  • Rutger Hauer is a very famous Dutch actor who did quite a lot internationally. Another Dutch actress who is working a lot is called Famke Janssen. There’s a few more.
