Karel Konings, son of a government accountant and tax collector, obtained his masters from the Catholic University of Leuven, where he majored in Chemical Engineering. Not being fulfilled with this career, he went to the Theater Academy of Amsterdam (AHK) and learned the craft of acting. This ignited an immense passion for portraying excentric characters: a shy boxer, a lovely business man, a fragile supermodel, a retired freedom fighter, a gangster with a conscience, ... Creating something real that connects with the audience.
