Wim Hogenkamp (Groningen, June 14, 1947 – Amsterdam, February 5, 1989) was a Dutch actor, lyricist and singer. He began his career in advertising, but was given drama lessons by Fien Berghegge and shortly thereafter began playing small roles, especially in stage productions such as Hair, and Cyrano de Bergerac. In 1974 and 1975, he posed as a dead body in Q & Q and played the role of Antonie van Slingelandt in Sil Strandjutter. In the movies, Hogenkamp was seen in A bridge too far, directed by Richard Attenborough, and Pastoral 1943, directed by Wim Verstappen. In 1979, he replaced Robert Long in the musical Swingpop produced by Seth Gaaikema.
As a lyricist, he wrote lyrics for several artists:
Death
In the late eighties, Hogenkamp became infected with HIV. In early 1989, he was found shot dead in his home in Amsterdam. The circumstances surrounding his death have so far not been resolved, but received special media attention because his body was in the same position as in his role on Q & Q.[1]
Wim Hogenkamp was cremated in Crematorium Westgaarde in Amsterdam.
