Carice Van Houten

Caris van Houten is a Dutch actress and singer, star of the military drama Black Book. She also played Melisandre in the television series Game of Thrones. These roles brought her worldwide fame. Judging by the standards of Holland, Caris should be called a superstar. In addition to successful work in her native province, the artist's track record includes many Hollywood films. In addition, it boasts a wide range of prestigious awards and prizes.

Caris was born in the town of Leiderdorp on September 5, 1976. The actress's family is directly related to television. Mom Margier Stasse worked as an employee of an educational channel, and father Theodore James van Houten wrote scripts for programs. Caris has a younger sister, Elka van Houten, who became an actress.

The girl herself dreamed of the path of a film actress from the age of five, when dad took his daughter to the cinema to show a picture about Napoleon Bonaparte. Little Caris was bewitched by colorful costumes and the chance to transform into other people. In high school, she attended a specialized theater class at the Bonif Popatius Lyceum, where she took part in performances for the first time.

After school, the gifted girl was immediately accepted by two theater universities in the Netherlands - the drama academies of Amsterdam and Maastricht. Van Houten chose a metropolitan educational institution, after which she began her career as a theater actress. In 1999, she even won the prestigious Pussuise Prize for Best Young Artist, and a year later, the Top Naeff for Best Actress.

It should be noted that Karis was not limited to just one art form. In 2012, she recorded her debut music album "See You on the Ice" in a professional studio. The title track and "Particle of Light" became hits in the Netherlands.

In parallel with her theatrical career, Caris van Houten tried herself in films. She starred in television films: the drama "Suzy Q" brought her the main film award of Holland "Golden Calf". Later, the actress will become the owner of this award three more times - for the family tape "Lady Cat", the anti-Nazi film by Paul Verhoeven "Black Book" and the biography film "Black Butterflies". "Black Book" became the highest grossing in the history of Dutch cinema and brought van Houten popularity.

A year earlier, the drama Black Swans was released. Caris played the main role. She went to Spain to shoot the film. The working process took place in 2003, but due to financial problems, the tape was released only in 2005.

In 2007, the actress appeared in the romantic film Unreal Love. The picture became the most visited Dutch comedy ever.

After the success of the Black Book, foreign film companies began to invite the actress. She plays with Maggie Smith in the English psychological mysticism "From Time to Time", with Tom Cruise in the American historical thriller "Operation Valkyrie", the Spanish-British horror film "The Eaters".

In 2010, Van Houten appeared in the historical drama Black Death. The artist was accompanied on the set by actors Sean Bean and Eddie Redmayne.

A year later, viewers saw the actress in the biography film "Black Butterflies". This picture became the fourth in the filmography of Caris, starting with the word "black". The plot of the drama tells about the real life story of the poetess Ingrid Jonker. Van Houten played the lead role, for which she received the Tribeca Prize, the Golden Calf and the Rembrandt Prize.

In the same 2011, Caris starred with Jude Law and Forest Whitaker in the fantasy thriller The Rippers, based on the book Dirty Mambo or the Rippers by Eric Garcia.

In 2013, the film "The Fifth Estate" was released on the world screens. One of the roles went to Caris. Benedict Cumberbatch and Daniel Brühl became the partners on the set of the actress. The film was brought to the screening at the Toronto Film Festival. The drama received mostly negative reviews. However, criticizing the script and direction, critics praised the acting.

Caris got another success when she played the role of Melisandre in the cult television series Game of Thrones, based on the novels of the American writer George Martin. As part of the cast of the project, Van Houten received two Screen Actors Guild Awards for Best Performance by a Cast in a Drama Series in 2014 and 2016.

Later, the actress appeared in the film "Sera", where she co-starred with Game of Thrones star Keith Harington.

Some of the actress's recent works are the action-packed thriller Incarnation, the sports drama Willpower, and the mystical Western Underworld, in which Dakota Fanning also played. Spectators and critics met the films in different ways, but did not leave the projects unnoticed.

On the set of the drama Black Book, Caris van Houten met her film partner, German actor Sebastian Koch. They met and even lived in a civil marriage for 3 years. But due to the fact that the careers of young people developed in different countries, they rarely paid attention to each other and eventually broke up.

Caris later had a two-year affair with the Dutch filmmaker and screenwriter Kees van Neuwkirk. And since 2015, she has been living in a de facto marriage with Australian actor Guy Pearce. The couple met on the set of the movie "Underworld". The artist in January 2015 divorced Kate Mestiz, with whom he lived for 18 years.

On August 29, 2016, shortly before her 40th birthday, Caris van Houten became a mother for the first time. She and Guy had a son named Monte Pierce.

Together with her best friend, Dutch actress Halina Rein, Caris wrote and published Anti-Glamor, in which women expressed their perspectives on the behind-the-scenes life of film stars. In several interviews, van Houten emphasized that although she enjoys acting in Hollywood projects, she could not live in America. It is strange for the actress's colleagues that Caris still remains in Europe, but she claims that this lifestyle suits her much more.

In addition to the book "Anti-Glamor", Karis is responsible for the authorship of the children's book.

In 2009, the actress became an ambassador for the Wildlife Fund. She actively helps the organization by spreading information about the goals of the Foundation. The artist participates in fundraising and makes humanitarian trips.

Now the actress is microblogging on the social network "Instagram". Judging by the photo, Caris is busy looking after the baby. She shares private shots and regularly lays out the baby's bows for the day.

In 2018, the release of the film "Domino" is expected, in which the actress, after a two-year hiatus, performed one of the main roles. On the set with her starred the star of "Game of Thrones" Nikolai Koster-Waldau and Van Houten's husband, Guy Pearce.

The artist is involved in the filming of the film "Glass Room", which will be released in 2019.
