Biography

Prinsen was born in Vught. [2] His father, Claudius Prinsen (1896–1952), was mayor of Breda and Roosendaal. [3] After graduating from the Toneelschool Amsterdam, [1] Prinsen debuted as a stage actor in 1969 in the play De kleine parade, directed by Wim Sonneveld. [4]

In the early 1970s, Aart Staartjes created the children's television programme De stratemakeropzeeshow with lead roles for Wieteke van Dort, Prinsen and himself. It was a popular and occasionally controversial programme that introduced children to various topics. Prinsen became well known in the Netherlands for playing a character called Erik Engerd in this show. [2] [5] De stratemakeropzeeshow was followed in 1979 by J.J. De Bom voorheen De Kindervriend, in which Van Dort, Staartjes and Prinsen also played the lead roles. Prinsen played the role of Jan J. de Bom, the owner of a toy shop. [2]

In 1982, he played a role in the television series De Zevensprong, based on the book by Tonke Dragt. Prinsen plays various roles in the educational children's programma Het Klokhuis since the early 1990s. He was the presenter of the quiz show Met het mes op tafel from 1997 until 2015. [6]

He has written columns for local newspapers, and he has also written pieces for magazines about cycling and bridge. [5] In March 2007, he published De scharrelaar, a collection of diary excerpts and columns he wrote. [5] A year later, he published a book about bridge, titled Een goede speler is niet eerlijk. [7]

"Ik heb een potje met vet" is a traditional song in the Dutch language. It was traditionally sung by soldiers, popularised in 1974 by the Dutch band Hydra with three verses added to the chorus, and now is very popular for singing during long walks and bus journeys. The song is also popular amongst lesbians because potje is the diminutive of the pot, originally a swearword for lesbians, but successfully reappropriated as a word for proud self-identification. It can be seen as the Dutch version of the similar English song "99 Bottles of Beer".
