Nieke: Mid twenties - early thirties. Petite, Athletic and Striking. Profound vulnerability and determined strength rolled into one.Deeply compassionate and authentic - she carries her heart on her sleeve. AND simultaneously has a raw and edgy dimension. This powerful contradiction makes her the perfect "Wounded but Determined Survivor". The character under duress that audiences root for...She would also be ideal as the daughter at the funeral that backs out of the eulogy, who ends up bolstering and supporting her mom. Or the lab assistant who befriends the species being studied and assists in its escape. The rape victim that after years of silence comes forward to confront the perpetrator.She would be great in a high-end scripted drama...but easily jumps to comedy, think "the clerk who perfectly organizes the year end function, then vomits on the boss during the thank you speech".Nieke is fully bilingual in Afrikaans and English. Looks like Rashida Jones mixed with Dakota Johnson, with a splash of Sally Hawkins. Would be the daughter of Anna Mart van der Merwe and the sister of Rolanda Marais. Show less «
