Robin Kerremans
Robin Kerremans has made some serious waves in the European film scene, especially with his role in The Forgotten Battle (2020). That film—set smack in the chaos of World War II—throws you right into the mess of the Battle of the Scheldt, where Dutch, British, and German characters all get tangled up in a fight that’ll have you gripping your seat. Kerremans slips into his character with this raw sort of intensity, making you actually care about what happens to these people as their lives get ripped apart by war. No sugar-coating, just straight-up drama and heartbreak.
Then there’s Professor T (2021), a crime drama series that’s kind of like if Sherlock Holmes had an awkward Belgian cousin who’s a total genius but also, honestly, kind of a pain. Kerremans pops up as one of the supporting cast, adding this believable, sometimes dark humor to the lineup. The whole show’s vibe is a little quirky, a little tense, and totally binge-worthy. You get these clever plot twists, and Robin manages to hold his own, even when the main character is chewing the scenery.
Fast forward to Rebel (2022), and things get even more intense. This film dives into the world of radicalization and the impact it has on families. Heavy stuff, but handled with a ton of heart. Kerremans’ performance here is all about subtlety—he doesn’t overdo it, just lets the story breathe, which makes the emotional gut-punches hit even harder. Basically, if you’re looking for someone who can switch it up—war films, crime dramas, emotional family stories—Robin’s your guy.
