"I have experienced the collaboration with Richard Oerlemans as very pleasant. He knew exactly what was expected of him and subtly add depth to his character. The short lifted to a higher level."
Joris Dommels, director Quest commercial 2006
"For the short 'green screen' film 'Luctor' I enjoyed working with Richard Oerlemans.
His commitment and enthusiasm are unparalleled; at times when I almost started to feel guilty because it all took so long, Richard walked around cheerfully and took care of a good atmosphere on set.
Luctor was shot entirely in front of 'green screen'; it was nice to see that Richard had the necessary imagination to imagine exactly where his character was. A collaboration that definitely worth repeating."
Ferry Piekart, Scenarist/Director Luctor 2009
"I've worked with Richard as an actor/director and gotten to know Richard
in both New York City and in Amsterdam, and I can make a few observations
about Richard on both a personal and professional level. As an artist, and
as a person, Richard is a very open, trusting, risk-taker.
He has a curiosity about and a zest for life that is very striking to those around
him. Richard takes risks, to make choices that may surprise him as well as
those around him. He is a very aware person; he constantly searches for the
truth in his work and in his life.
If Richard is unsure which path to take next, he is unafraid to take the risks necessary to achieving personal and
artistic growth. Generous and giving to his friends, and open and curious
in his work. He is sure to affect in a positive way all those with whom he
works and plays. I am glad to call him a friend."
Greg Skura Associate Producer, Actor and Director, New York
Richard Oerlemans is talented, brave and courageous. An actor who is able to show vulnerability -- unusual and exciting in most strong men. He takes
big risks and is always interesting to watch."
