バイオグラフィー
Due to the fact that he necessarily developed a variety of essential character traits to handle a wide range of life experiences in his youth, in his former activities as a DJ, street racer, casino croupier, martial artist, thrill seeker, merchant bank employee, managing director, successful entrepreneur and on his many journeys, at one day Don Alphonso came to the conclusion coincidentally that he could positively use different parts of his life and personal experiences as a toolbox and inspiration to bring his characters to life truthfully in acting, and found his ultimate passion in it ever since.
It all started when he gave up his company and his corporate life due to a burn-out in 2009. After returning from a very inspiring journey through Asia, where he recovered, he began his life from the scratch again. Knowing that the smartest way to explore unknown territory is to start at the bottom, he began his new career with full enthusiasm by doing lots of different assignments as a movie extra to benefit the chances to watch and learn from professionals in the field and it also provided in great networking possibilities.
This decision in combination with an auto-didactic study in how to use his life experiences in acting, resulted very quickly in lots of assignments as a featured extra in the beginning and quickly lead to becoming a training's actor, actor in interactive theater plays and eventually ended up into playing a variety of small-, and guest roles in Dutch television series, supporting-, and lead roles in short films, lead roles in music videos, a supporting- and also a lead roles in several International films.
Don Alphonso also discovered that he felt very comfortable in action character roles and performed his stunts, shooting and fighting scenes with ease and with great pleasure. He also performs different tasks as a film crew member occasionally to witness various parts of the film making process at first hand.
By auto-didactic study, following private acting classes, useful workshops, seminars and passionately participating in as many different film- and television series projects, 48hours film project contests, commercials and music videos as possible, his aim is to grow further every single day to being given the chances to play more and more of the most intense and challenging roles in the future and in that way hopefully co-creating great and unique contributions to the art together with like-minded professionals.
