He is young and wants something. And whatever he wants to achieve… seems to be working out just perfectly. Of course we are talking about Michiel De Meyer, by many better known as Arne from ‘Thuis’, Jules from ‘Ghost Rockers’, and now also as Louis Segers in perhaps the most popular musical in Flanders, ‘40-45’. Just 25 years old and having graduated only two years ago, but his career seems to have gotten off to a flying start. When did he start acting? And how does he manage to secure one big role after another, even though he had little experience? PlayRight asked him everything! <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

He is\nyoung and wants something. And whatever he wants to achieve… seems to be\nworking out just perfectly. Of course we are talking about Michiel De Meyer, by\nmany better known as Arne from ‘Thuis’, Jules from ‘Ghost Rockers’, and now\nalso as Louis Segers in perhaps the most popular musical in Flanders, ‘40-45’.\nJust 25 years old and having graduated only two years ago, but his career seems\nto have gotten off to a flying start. When did he start acting? And how does he\nmanage to secure one big role after another, even though he had little\nexperience? PlayRight asked him everything! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\ndid you start off your career as an actor?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michiel:\n<\/strong>When I was 12 years old, I participated for the first\ntime in the musical ‘Pinocchio’ by Studio 100. It had always been a dream to\nperform in a musical, and from that point onwards it became a continuous hobby.\nNevertheless, my parents obliged me to finish high school in a “normal” school,\ninstead of changing to artistic studies. After that, I did an exam to enter the\nDance Academy, Musical Department, in Tilburg, The Netherlands. Besides singing\nand acting for theatre, there the focus is also on dancing. Since that was what\nI was least advanced in, I decided to apply to do my training there so to end\nup mastering the three disciplines of musical. When I graduated, I went to\naudition basically anywhere I had the chance, because I wanted to get a job as\nquickly as possible. That’s how I ended up in ‘Ghost Rockers’ [youth series in\nFlanders], and then in ‘Thuis’ [Flemish television soap opera]. My first jobs\nwere on TV rather than in theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was it\na coincidence or was it your intention to make that switch to television?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michiel:\n<\/strong>It had not really been my intention, but I must admit\nI did like it. I had, however, never been trained to act for television, so I\ndid not know at all whether what I was doing was any good, but I wanted to\nexperience it anyway. I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right\ntime. In ‘Thuis’ they happened to need a type of character that fit my\nappearance, and another plus was that I was still unknown, so the audience had\nnever before seen me as another character. This opportunity brought me where I\nam now, because thanks to ‘Thuis’ I had the chance to participate in\n‘Steracteur Sterartiest’ [Flemish singing competition with actors].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did\nyou start singing because of ‘Steracteur Sterartiest’ or did you already have\nthe ambition to make music?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michiel:\n<\/strong>I’ve had singing classes during my musical formation,\nbut that was nothing like the ‘pop style’ that is rather popular here in\nBelgium. Thanks to my role in ‘Thuis’, I was asked to audition for ‘Steracteur\nSterartiest’. I supposed that the chances that I would be selected were low,\nbut then they chose me and a few weeks later I would be in the live shows. At\nthat moment I thought: ‘what are the chances that I win this’… and I won (laughing).<\/em> I had to adapt to another\ngenre of music, though.  After my\nvictory, I was offered a record deal with CNR Records with which I have now\nreleased two singles, and we are working on a few new things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\nare you currently focussing on?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michiel:\n<\/strong>I quit ‘Thuis’ because I no longer thought my\ncharacter to be interesting and innovative enough, so now I invest most of my\ntime in the musical ’40-45’, in which I took over the character of Jonas Van\nGeel. Furthermore, I also sing in the Ketnet Musical and the Ketnet Band.\nMainly theatre crosses my path this year, while I’m less involved in\ntelevision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you\nlike theatre more?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michiel:\n<\/strong>I suppose I do prefer theatre, because everything is\nlive. You can lose yourself more in your character, it’s more real. But I would\nalso like to be back on TV, of course. Quitting ‘Thuis’ was a risk since I\nwould disappear completely from the screen, but I do not regret it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\nhave recorded two singles, are there any further plans in the music scene?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michiel:\n<\/strong>Yes, I really want to continue singing and release new\nsongs, and I write lyrics myself, but I still find it very hard to find exactly\nwhat I want, what I want to tell and what my genre is. That is why I take it\neasy. There are a lot of other things that I am working on right now, such as\ntheatre, so writing lyrics got side-tracked and happens now and then. After\n‘Steracteur’ I started my own band, with which I performed a few times last summer.\nThis summer there are mainly gigs planned with the Ketnet Band. I would love to\nmake more music with my own band, but to do so I need time and good support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\nkind of support?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michiel:\n<\/strong>Support from different angles. I’m lucky to have CNR\nbacking me. Whenever a track of mine is ready, and if they like it, they\nfinance it. Furthermore, I also need musical support since I don’t know how to\nwrite music myself. It’s important to find a good connection with someone who\ncan put down on paper what I mean, together with me. And I have a couple of\nthose people around me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\nare e member of PlayRight, but how do you manage your career as an actor and a\nsinger? Do you have an agent?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michiel:\n<\/strong>Yes, I have an agent because I do not really\nunderstand much of all that myself. During my studies, I never received any\nkind of information on what you should do as an artist, which societies and\norganisations support you, what you should join, and so on. Result: you enter\nprofessional life as a young actor, not knowing anything about your rights.\nMore experienced colleagues advised me to join PlayRight. I looked up what you\ndo more concretely and decided to join. My agent does basically everything for\nme, declares all my performances and updates my IMDB page. Anyway, I have never\nreceived any information about my rights during my studies, but I’m convinced\nthat schools and universities should really invest in this, for example through\nclasses and workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was it\nhard to find a job when you graduated?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michiel:\n<\/strong>I was very lucky and did not have to put tons of\neffort into it. Of course I did a lot of auditions, often without success, but\nsuddenly Studio 100 called me up for a role that would last two seasons. All of\na sudden I would appear on television, with the largest production company in\nthe field. At that point it is important to give all you have and do exactly\nwhat you are asked to do. Next, I auditioned for ‘Thuis’ and also there I was\nlucky that I put down a good audition and that I fit perfectly with the character\nthey were looking for in terms of appearances. In short, as a young actor that\nhad just finished his studies, I was in a luxury position. And then ‘Steracteur\nSterartiest’, a national prime-time programme, came on television. By winning\nthat, I got some sort of title that producers can work with for promotional\nmatters, hence, the requests for musicals came in exponentially. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m quite good at doing auditions (laughs)<\/em>, which really is an advantage.\nSome very good actors are just bad at auditioning, which is a shame, because\nauditions are the moments when you must show who you are and what you are\ncapable of doing. That way, directors and producers get to see who they will be\nworking with. As soon as you work for a production company that needs your name\nto sell, you really have an edge on someone who is still unknown. That’s a bit\nnasty, bit that’s how it goes in the world of acting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any\nadvice for young actors who have just graduated?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michiel:\n<\/strong>That’s a tough one. What I did, is accept everything\nthat presented itself. Don’t be too selective and try out things that you might\nnot like, as well. I know that many people don’t want that, but I’m glad that I\ntried everything once, since that taught me what I absolutely did not want to\ndo. In the beginning it is trial and error, because you have no clue about what\nsuits you before you enter the professional field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, I would recommend everyone to create.\nThat’s something I don’t do enough, but I want to set up more projects as well.\nAnother piece of advice: call directors and casting directors and invite them\nwhenever you are performing, and keep contacting casting agencies for jobs.\nThey might think ‘there he is again’ but let that never stop you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s\nyour position towards the changes in the digital media landscape? Are you\nworried about that?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michiel:\n<\/strong>Hmmm, I have not put much thought into it so far. TV\nis perhaps a dying medium in favour of Netflix and the like, but who are we in\nBelgium, in Flanders, to mean something on that international market…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you\nthink that your profession as an actor is endangered?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michiel:\n<\/strong>I see my profession in two different parts: theatre,\non the one hand, and TV, on the other. In the latter I’m currently less\ninvolved, while theatre and musicals are booming! There’s even a way too wide\noffer.  ’40-45’, for instance, is so\npopular that they are outcompeting everyone else. Entire Belgium wants to see\nthe musical and, as a result, there’s no interest anymore in other musical\npieces. That’s an issue. In any case, it is food for thought, and I think way\ntoo little about that. Is that very bad for your interview (laugh<\/em>s)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, I still really want to do my bit for\nFlemish films! Making them cool again by introducing new ideas, and of course\nI’d love to play in one, too (laughs).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are\nthere specific plans for new projects?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michiel:\n<\/strong>This summer people can see me in ‘Titanic’ the\nmusical, and in ‘Mama Mia’, and ’40-45’ runs until May 2020… so a lot of\nmusicals and theatre. Besides that, I want to write and release music, make a\nmovie with friends… I still want to do so many things! But for now, it’s\nwaiting for the moment when I have less work, so I can finally start creating\nmyself! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
