Born September 5, 1976, in the Netherlands, actress Carice van Houten worked steadily in her native country on both the small and big screens, garnering a number of nominations for her work. She first started to acquire international fame as the star of Paul Verhoeven’s Black Book (2006), portraying Rachel Steinn, a Jewish woman who disguises herself and uses her allure and beauty in order to manipulate the Nazis in charge of the occupation of Holland. The exposure from her work in that film served as a springboard for van Houten, and she was soon appearing prominently in high-profile Hollywood pictures, such as Bryan Singer’s WWII drama Valkyrie (2008), starring Tom Cruise and the sci-fi film Repo Men (2010), as the wife of Jude Law’s character.
Carice is also the winner of four Golden Calves, the most important award in the Netherlands.
