Life
Script error: No such module "Unsubst". His first film experiences were in 1982 in Andy Bausch's short film Stefan. After this, he appeared in all of Bausch's films, generally in the starring role. Soon, he came to other directors' attention: he appeared in films by Paul Kieffer (Schacko Klak), Marc Olinger (De falschen Hond) and Pol Cruchten (Hochzäitsnuecht). Abracadabra, by Harry Cleven, was his first film in French. In his role as the Belgian "Henk" in Knockin' on Heaven's Door, a great success in Germany, he became known to the German public.
He regularly appeared in German films, TV films and series. For his role in Offside he received the Adolf-Grimme-Preis in 2008. He also often acted in Luxembourgish theatre productions, often directed by Frank Hoffmann. As the singer of the groups Nazz Nazz, Taboola Rasa and Luxus he also had a loyal following.
The last film in which he had a starring role was inthierryview, filmed by Andy Bausch as a sort of retrospective portrait and homage in 2008, after it had become known that Van Werveke was very ill.
He died on 11 January 2009 at the age of 50.
