Jeroen Krabbé (b December 5, 1944) is a Dutch actor and film director. Born in Amsterdam 1944, into an artistic family, he first came to prominence in fellow Dutch countryman Paul Verhoeven’s films Soldier of Orange opposite Rutger Hauer and The Fourth Man with Renée Soutendijk.
His first big American film was the Whoopi Goldberg comedy Jumpin’ Jack Flash. However, it is as the ‘bad guy’ in a string of international films from the late 1980s which brought him international stardom, with notable films being No Mercy, (1986), as General Georgi Koskov in the James Bond film The Living Daylights, (1987), The Punisher, (1989), and The Fugitive, (1993).
