He acted in over 50 film- and television productions, including the feature films Briefgeheim, Sonny Boy, Achtste Groepers Huilen Niet, Spijt!, Oorlogsgeheimen and Michiel de Ruyter. He played in series like Vrolijke Kerst, Land van Lubbers, Zwarte Tulp, Moordvrouw, Weemoedt and many more. 

In 2020 he played a big role in the German feature film Berlin Alexanderplatz by Burhan Qurbani, which screened and premiered in main competition at the Berlinale. The film is also nominated for 11 German Academy Awards.

Some of his most recent project include Met Mes (Sam de Jong), The Jewish Council (Paula van der Oest i.a.), the hitseries Bodem (Eva Crutzen) and a leading role in the Amazon Prime series Rwina (Flip van der Kuil i.a.).
