Prior to pursuing an acting career, Huisman was the guitarist and singer in Fontane, the band most popular for their singles such as ‘‘Slapeloos’’, ‘‘Neem Me Mee’’ and ‘‘1+1=2’’. Michiel made his acting debut with the role of Rover in ‘‘Goede tijden, slechte tijden’’ in 1990, and subsequently appeared in ‘‘Voor hete vuren’’. Throughout the following period, Michiel continued working on Dutch TV series, and films, most importantly in ‘‘Costa!’’, in which he portrayed Bart in 10 episodes. In 2004, he landed the main role in ‘‘Floris’’, a family action movie, starring alongside Victor Löw and Daan Schuurmans; the movie received a mixed response, but despite that won the Golden Film award, given by Golden and Platin Film in Netherlands in 2005. Over the course of four years starting in 2007, Michiel played Hugo Biesterveld in ‘‘De co-assistant’’, a series focused on the stories of members of a Dutch hospital. In the same manner, he was cast to play Johan Dros in ‘‘Johan’’, a drama romance film released in Netherlands, and in 2009 he acted in one of his first English speaking projects, ‘‘The Young Victoria’’, which won an Oscar.
As of 2012, Huisman was cast to play Liam McGuinnis in 13 episodes of ‘‘Nashville’’, a critically acclaimed television series, acting alongside Hayden Panettiere and Connie Britton; the series was nominated for three Golden Globe awards, and acting in such a prominent project certainly played significantly in Huisman’s career. Besides that, in 2014, he got the role of Cal Morrison in six episodes of ‘‘Orphan Black’’, a critically acclaimed television series that won numerous awards such as a Primetime Emmy. He remained in the series for the next year, and in the meantime began working on ‘‘Game Of Thrones’’, a world-wide famous television series based on the novels of G. R. R. Martin, as Daario Naharis in 18 episodes of the series, which won numerous awards such as Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy in several categories including Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Costumes for a Period/Fantasy Series, Limited Series or Movie. In 2017, he starred in ‘‘2:22’’ side by side with Teresa Palmer.
When it comes to Michiel’s future projects, his movies ‘‘The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society’’ and ‘‘State Like Sleep’’ are in post-production, set for release in 2018, and he is working on the movie entitled ‘‘American Dream’’, adding further to his net worth..

Rutger Hauer is a very famous Dutch actor who did quite a lot internationally. Another Dutch actress who is working a lot is called Famke Janssen. There's a few more.

TV has gotten perhaps better than your average film script, but at the same time, it's fun to give it all you've got for a few months and produce a story.

One of the fun things as an actor is to really spread your wings as wide as possible and do a variety of roles. I've been really lucky in that sense, I think.
4
The Dutch film industry is a pretty small community, so within Holland, I think most actors know each other and have worked with each other.

I guess I was a child actor. Acting was one of the things I did alongside going to school: I'd be playing guitar, I'd be playing soccer, and I would be acting in movies.
6
I learned English at school, or at least that's how it started. Also, in Holland - as opposed to some other European countries - we don't dub anything, so as a kid growing up, always watching English and American movies in their original language really helped.

Growing up in Holland, I always thought my name was boring, but in the U.S., all of a sudden I have a very cool name.

To play different characters on a TV show where you're working every day, playing multiple characters every day, it's so ridiculously intense.
