Arend Jan Heerma van Voss

Born in the Dutch province of Brabant, the young and talented Arend Jan (then called Adjantje) moved to the big city with dreams of acting, writing and women. He achieved all and he did it with style. Dutch comedy show 'Van Kooten en De Bie', award-winning 'Van Geluk gesproken','Abel', the completion of his book (Arend Jan Heerma van Voss, 'Verzameld', 1992): all were added to his ever growing resumé. The longtime chairman of the VPRO achieved his last goal with the purchase of Amsterdam football site Swift in 2005.
