Bartholomeus Hendrikus Rudolph Petronella (born February 19, 1981 in Venlo, Netherlands), better known by his professional name Bart Hendrikx is a Dutch entrepreneur and producer residing in Amsterdam, Netherlands and Malibu, California. Hendrikx worked at the Fox Television division in Los Angeles, California where he focused on research in international television markets. Hendrikx was also involved with projects related to tailoring several reality shows such as The Simple Life, Joe Millionaire and My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance for production in various countries. In order to best meet the needs of the various countries, Bart researched the countries' culture, broadcast and television production history. Hendrikx learned from Fox producers the job of a producer and executive producer in developing a television format, casting, pre-production, and delivering a reality show to an international broadcaster. Hendrikx also worked on the feature film Mr. & Mrs. Smith.[1] [2] [3] [4][5] [6] [7] [8]

In November 2006, while filming the VenSwichFilms short film Gods Way Love at Joshua Tree, Bart was asked by lead singer Cisco Adler to join his band Whitestarr on tour through the United States and Canada. While touring, VH1 was filming the reality television program The Rock Life, which follows Malibu band Whitestarr as they attempt to make it in the music business. From a crew member Bart quickly evolved into a character in the show. Bart played the character of the band's assistant. [9][10] [11] [12] [13]

After this period Hendrikx founded VenSwichFilms. VenSwichFilms is an entrepreneurial production company operating from Amsterdam, Los Angeles and Prague.[14]
