As an actor, Rian Gerritsen (52) already has many roles on her resume, but that does not mean that she is now swimming in money. Her partner is a stay-at-home dad and that means that Rian brings bread to the table. It can be very difficult sometimes, she says in the extension ‘De Telegraaf’ ‘Woman’.
“Acting won’t make you rich anyway, but as a single earner it’s harder”
Rian is known for, among other things Mother of Lice, Who is the boy?, Celblok H in Dr. Deen. She is currently starring in a theater production In the elevator, which is about a working mother trying to hold all the balls up at once. That role seems tailor-made for her. “A working mother who is trying to make a career and at the same time solve her child’s problems: I can relate to that,” she admits.
Rian is the breadwinner herself, while her partner takes a large part in the care of their teenage daughter. “Although in practice I still do most of it,” she admits. “He’s doing his best to contribute as much as he can. It may not be completely equal, but I’ve never asked for that.” The actress is happy with the way they solved it: because he is at home, she can combine motherhood and her career.
Although it is sometimes difficult for her to be solely responsible for the income. “Acting won’t make you rich anyway, but as a single earner it’s harder. I often think: am I not going to make ends meet this month again?” She can’t say ‘no’ to careers, even if they don’t suit her. “I secretly want to have a permanent role again for a longer period of time. To fully develop a character, to unleash your imagination… Unfortunately, small roles are usually , I have a single.”
