[edit] Biography
De Gooyer was raised in a baker family as part of a two egged twin. In World War II he worked as a interpreter[1]. Initially for the American 101st Airborne, later on for the British Field Security. From 1959 till 1961 de Gooyer studied at an acters school of the UFA in Berlin. During these years, he would have worked for the CIA as an informant[2]. He played in films such as Soldaat van Oranje, De Inbreker and Madelief, Krassen in het tafelblad. He won a Golden Film in 1997 for playing in the Dutch Comedy series In voor en Tegenspoed. In 1982 he won the Golden Calf for Best Actor for all his works, according to him he could have won it a year ago but because he wasn't there it went to Rutger Hauer. In 1995 he threw his Golden Calf for Hoogste Tijd out on the street after the ceremony. De Gooyer was videotaped while he threw the award out of the window because he was on the Dutch hidden-camera show Taxi (the Dutch version of Taxicab Confessions). His (current) last Golden Calf, for Madelief, Krassen in het Tafelblad was also thrown out on the street this time by Maarten Spanjer (who hosts Taxi). De Gooyer can be seen in various Dutch commercials, for companies such as Reaal, KPN and Paturain.
