Having already established herself as a solid box office star in her native Holland, Carice van Houten embarked on her international break-through role in Paul Verhoeven's Black Book in 2006. She followed in the footsteps of her Black Butterflies co-star Rutger Hauer to Los Angeles, where extended stays led to parts in large Hollywood productions such as the Bryan Singer film "Valkyrie", in which she played the female lead opposite Tom Cruise. She will be seen soon in Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's Intruders alongside Clive Owen and Daniel Brühl. Van Houten also stars in the recently released Black Death opposite Sean Bean.
