Michael van Koetsveld

I came to acting later in life, but love the way it enables me to dive into different stories and characters and really find out what I can bring to the part. I am a large man with a powerful voice, but can be playful as well, ranging from a Saxon Archery Captain, calling the shots on a battlefield, to a warm and approachable Father Christmas who has featured with Basil Brush on TV. I have been a Supporting Artist in many feature films and am starting to be Featured - an exciting step up!
