Alejandra Theus

(Belgium, 1981) plays the starring role in the Flemish TV series Zie mij graag (See Me Gladly). The Flemish-Colombian actress plays Anna, who is trying to rebuild her life after divorce. It's the first big TV role for Theus, who had mainly starred on stage previously. Already during her studies at the Theatre Academy Maastricht she earned good roles in plays by ambitious directors such as Eric de Vroedt (mightysociety 5) and Thibaut Delpeut (Britannicus). She won the 2008 Kemn-A-Ward for her role in the graduation play Het Koude Kind (The Cold Child, directed by Domien Van Der Meiren). In 2010 she received the Zilveren Krekel award for her starring role in Woeste hoogten, Rusteloze Zielen (Wild Heights, Restless Souls) by Theater Artemis, directed by Floor Huygen. She was nominated in 2014 for the Theo D'Or for her role in Wreed en Teder (Cruel and Tender), directed by Michiel de Regt. In late 2017 Theus starred in the much-lauded adaptation of Richard Yates' Revolutionary Road, directed by Erik Whien.
