Biography
Flemish actor Matthias Schoenaerts got his start on stage acting opposite his father, Julien Schoenaerts, in The Little Prince and made his screen debut in Stijn Coninx's Oscar-nominated DAENS.
After finishing his training at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in Antwerp, he performed in a number of stage productions, award-winning shorts and feature films such as LOFT (Eric Van Looy), ANY WAY THE WIND BLOWS (Tom Barman) and MY QUEEN KARO (Dorothée Van Den Berghe).
Later in his career, he earned even wider European notoriety with his supporting role in director Paul Verhoeven's BLACK BOOK, but his acclaimed lead performance in director Michaël Roskam's BULLHEAD (Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Film, 2012) is what brought him international acclaim. For his performance, he won the FIPRESCI 'Award for Best Actor' at Palm Springs International Film Festival, the 'Award for Best Actor' at Fantastic Fest and the 'Acting Award' at AFI, among dozens of other awards.
In 2012, he appeared alongside Marion Cotillard in Jacques Audiard's RUST AND BONE, which debuted at the Cannes International Film Festival. In 2013, Schoenaerts contributed lead performances in Alan Rickman's A LITTLE CHAOS, which co-starred Kate Winslet, Saul Dibb's SUITE FRANÇAISE, which starred Michelle Williams and Kristin Scott-Thomas, and BLOOD TIES directed by Guillaume Canet. In 2014, he teamed up with Michael Roskam again in THE DROP co-starring Tom Hardy, James Gandolfini and Noomi Rapace.
Schoenaerts was more recently seen in Eric Van Looy's English language version of THE LOFT.
