Ruth Becquart is a Flemish actress and theater producer/writer whose main playground was theater for a long time after graduating from Studio Herman Teirlinck (Drama) in Antwerp in 1999. She had her first taste of feature film with her roles in
Linkeroever (2008) and
Dirty Mind (2009), both directed by
Pieter Van Hees . However, it wasn't until her turn as one of the five vengeful sisters in the hit Flemish TV series
Clan (2012) that she became known to a broader audience in Belgium. Other lead roles quickly ensued, her most memorable being that of naive prostitute Sandy in
Chaussée d'Amour (2016), for which she was awarded the Best Actress award by her fellow Flemish actors and actresses. Her most recent credits include lead roles in
Gent West (2013),
De Dag (2018) and
Over Water (2018). Ruth is a true chameleon, a physically strong actress who goes the extra mile to truthfully portray a character. She remains active in film/TV and tours nationally and internationally with her theater work. Ruth fluently speaks Dutch (mother tongue), English and French, and some German. Her skills include yoga, martial arts and dance (ballet - jazz - pole dancing).
