Wim van der Grijn (1946) is a Dutch actor. He graduated from the Amsterdam 'Toneelschool' in 1967. After five years as an actor/director at theatre company ' Toneelgroep Centrum', his interest in Eastern mysticism led him to visit countries such as Turkey, Persia, Afghanistan, Nepal and India. He returned in 1973 and resumed his acting career. He was associated with 'Toneelgroep Globe' for several years and was awarded a Louis d'Or for his role of Kees de Jongen in the play of the same name by Gerben Hellinga (1970/71), and the Cor Hermus Prize for his role in 'Lear' by Edward Bond.
