Dutch actor and bodybuilder Olivier Richters, also known as The Dutch Giant, will be a guest at the winter edition of Heroes Dutch Comic Con! On November 23 and 24, visitors will have the chance to meet Richters, take photos with him, and get his autograph. Earlier, Matthew Mercer, Graham McTavish, and Mark Williams were announced for the two-day pop culture event at the Jaarbeurs.
Standing at an impressive 2.18m and weighing 160 kilos, Olivier Richters holds the title of the world’s tallest bodybuilder, earning him the nickname ‘The Dutch Giant.’ His imposing stature caught the attention of Hollywood, where he is now making waves as an actor.
After landing roles in TV series such as Gangs of London, Richters’ dream came true in 2021 when he starred in his first feature film, The King’s Man. This was quickly followed by a role as the Russian mutant Ursa Major in Black Widow, based on the Marvel superhero of the same name.
His true breakthrough came with Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the fifth and final installment in the beloved Indiana Jones film series. As the villain Hauke, Richters appeared alongside Harrison Ford, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Mads Mikkelsen. Earlier this year, he also took on the role of ‘Krom’ in the adaptation of the popular video game Borderlands.
Soon, the actor will be featured in Prime Video’s most-watched series: Reacher. Season three of the thrilling action series will premiere next year, with Richters taking on a major role as ‘Paulie.’
Visitors will have the chance to take photos with Olivier Richters, get his autograph, and ask him questions during the Q&A sessions on the main stage. There will also be an exclusive meet-and-greet session for fans.
