Beschrijving
Martin Brozius (Hoorn, the Netherlands; November 4, 1941 – Amsterdam, the Netherlands; March 24, 2009) was a Dutch actor, presenter and comedian.[1]
Youth & early career[edit]
After his parents divorced, Brozius was sent to a Roman-Catholic orphanage for subjection to the nuns’ strict regime. A few years later he moved back in with his mother who by then was running a snackbar; he even became her employee when he left school at 14. Two years later, Brozius decided to move on and move out; he sold lottery-tickets at fairgrounds before relocating to Amsterdam where he took acting lessons at the prestigious Kleinkunstacademie. Throughout the 1960s Brozius appeared in comedies and stage-plays with varying degrees of success and even released a few records.
Television, radio and movies[edit]
In 1968 Martin Brozius made his television debut in children’s series Oebele (alongside singer Rob de Nijs); two years later he guested in De Kleine Waarheid as a news-reporter and taped a sketch-show (Kort en Klein) with Jeroen Krabbé among others.
His twin-breakthrough came in the early 1970s; Brozius played a gator (Aernout Koffij) in the Pied Piper-themed series Hamelen and hosted the Dutch version of Runaround (Ren je Rot). Other credits aimed at his juvenile fanbase were a Monday-afternoon radio-show, the role of a sweet-tooth inventor’s son (Felix) in the 1976-taped Peter en de Vliegende Autobus-movie and the lead-voice in the original Tintin cartoon series.
In 1979 Martin Brozius took part in the rainy third episode of Sterrenslag (Battle Of The Stars) and in the early 1980s he appeared in commercials for theme-park Efteling.
Decline & fall[edit]
Ren je Rot had a longer lifespan than its equally successful UK-counterpart, but in 1983 parent broadcaster TROS decided that it was time for new programmes. Brozius continued performing at parties, Martin Brozius Bron wikipedia
