Johan Leysen
With more than 70 movies on his name, Johan Leysen is without any doubt the most prolific actor of the Low Countries. After playing the lead in Roland Verhavert’s Rubens, with a screenplay by Hugo Claus, he rapidly exports his talents to the Netherlands (The Girl with Red Hair), France (La Reine Margot, Tykho Moon, Train de Vie, Princesses), Italy (Colpo di Luna) and Germany, with his latest part in the thriller Tattoo bringing him to Brussels. But Johan Leysen has, of course, also worked with the Belgian masters of the silver screen, like André Delvaux (L’oevre au noir), Gérard Corbiau (Le maître de musique, Le roi danse) and Marion Hansel (Le Lit, Sur la terre comme au ciel)…
