Biography |
On 10 September 1977, Seth Benjamin Kamphuijs was born in
the village of Eenrum to an American mother and a father
from Groningen. Seth had his first contact with theatre at
private school. Without waiting for his exam results to
arrive, Seth left for a car trip throughout Europe. In
Barcelona he worked behind the bar and presented shows in
clubs.
When he came back to Amsterdam, where he had moved, he
worked in the 'Comedyclub' and took acting lessons as
preparation for theatre school. When he did not pass the
entrance exam, Seth decided to go back to his ‘roots’ and to
try his luck in the 'Capitol of the World': New York. While
there, he took acting lessons and attended many off-Broadway
shows, but an urge to be home and closer to his friends drew
him back to Amsterdam.
Veronica broadcasting took Seth on in the soap Onderweg Naar
Morgen. In it, he spent a year playing the role of Ticho
Steiner. After a strict selection procedure, he was accepted
by the Theatre Academy in Maastricht, where he added the
technique of shaping his theatrical expression to the talent
he already had.
Soon after he was asked to join the 'Paardenkathedraal'
theatre company in Utrecht, Seth decided to do a screen test
for TMF. This also turned out in a positive way: “I am now
one of the happiest people I know because I get to work in
two of my greatest loves, theatre and television.”
Meanwhile, Seth has moved from TMF to MTV, and is still
actively developing his acting career. On television, he can
also be seen from Monday through Friday from 16:00 to 18:00
in the programme MTVlive, of course on MTV. |
