Bernhard Droog (1921–2009) was a Dutch actor who appeared in 17 films and numerous television and theatre roles. Droog was a recipient of the Order of Orange-Nassau in 1970. Droog's film debut came in 1955 in the role of the teacher in 'Ciske de Rat', which in terms of cinema admissions remains one of the most popular films in Dutch history. He would appear in two comedy films, 'Kleren Maken de Man' and Bert Haanstra's 'Fanfare', followed by a leading role in the 1958 Academy Award-nominated 'Dorp aan de Rivier'. After the early 1960s, Droog's film appearances became sporadic as he worked mainly in theatre and television. However he made several notable appearances, among which 'Wat zien ik', the first feature film directed by Paul Verhoeven. His final screen appearance came in 1997 in 'Character', which went on to win that year's Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
