Jeroen Kijk in de Vegte will soon make his debut as an actor. The NPO Radio 2 DJ and voice actor will appear as King Melchior in the new feature film The Great Christmas Movie: The Story of Epiphany.
The film will premiere on December 13 and will be available in theaters and online. The Great Christmas Movie: The Story of Epiphany will also be screened during the Christmas holidays in Paleis Het Loo, which plays an important role in the story.
The story revolves around the three kings from the Christmas story who are on their way to the Christmas child and end up in the year 2023 through a hole in time. They end up in the backyard of twelve-year-old Mintaka, who decides to help the three kings return to their own time.
“Acting is a whole new experience for me,” says Kijk in de Vegte. “I think it’s an honor to be able to play the role of one of the three kings. It’s a great story to be able to tell and I’m already looking forward to the end result.”
The other two kings are played by Kenneth Herdigein and YouTuber Teun Peters. Other major roles are reserved for Tygo Gernandt, Kim-Lian van der Meij and Josje Huisman.
The film is an initiative of Stichting Het Grote Verhaal and is produced by Nachtzon Media. The foundation aims to make stories from the Bible accessible to a wider audience in a modern way.
