Words matter. These are the best Michiel Huisman Quotes, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
I’m becoming more and more of a backwoodsman. I always used to be more of a city guy, and more and more, I’m starting to enjoy being in nature. Just to sit and slow down a little bit.
I have this old speaker set with amps and a record player from the 1970s. And I’m slowly collecting vinyl again.
Usually when I’m on a plane, I try to enjoy the fact that I have to be still for eight hours and read a book.
I learned English at school, or at least that’s how it started. Also, in Holland – as opposed to some other European countries – we don’t dub anything, so as a kid growing up, always watching English and American movies in their original language really helped.
It’s really fun to think about what it would be like to see Walter Davidson step onto a modern-day motorcycle. He’d probably go insane! But motorcycles were such a part of him.
Growing up in Holland, I always thought my name was boring, but in the U.S., all of a sudden I have a very cool name.
I enjoy watching movies that are high concept or science fiction or have supernatural elements, like ‘2:22’ has.
I think nothing I’ve done has impacted my life as much as working on ‘Treme,’ because it was the first project that I worked on in the United States after being an actor in the Netherlands my whole life, basically.
I guess I was a child actor. Acting was one of the things I did alongside going to school: I’d be playing guitar, I’d be playing soccer, and I would be acting in movies.
I respect motorcycles so much.
The Dutch film industry is a pretty small community, so within Holland, I think most actors know each other and have worked with each other.
Being part of ‘Game of Thrones,’ you’re always expecting your character to die. You’re not mentally preparing yourself for a very long haul.
TV has gotten perhaps better than your average film script, but at the same time, it’s fun to give it all you’ve got for a few months and produce a story.
I love doing scenes with two actors in an elevator, but sometimes I’m a little boy, and I like swinging a sword with 800 soldiers around.
I had my first stereo when I turned 12, and every two weeks, I would save up money and buy one CD.
It sounds so weird, but I’m totally pro-aging. If you look at the film industry, it’s so funny how it’s so much more accepted that actors begin their prime in their forties or fifties, and for women, it’s so different. I think it’s time to change that. Aging is a beautiful thing.
You would have to go really crazy on me before I throw a punch.
I think the hardest accent for me to do is what I end up trying a lot of times, and it’s like some sort of a general American sound. So not Southern and not east-coast or west-coast, but just a general American sound that no one really speaks, actually.
I think it will be great if we have more female directors in the world.
The funny thing is, whenever I’m working on something, I kind of forget there’s a lot of people watching. It makes it easier to be in the moment and to tell a story as well as possible.
