After school, he collaborated on a number of projects of writer/director Rene Daalder. He was "discovered" as an actor at the corner of Hollywood and Vine in Los Angeles by a lady who had abandoned her car in the middle of the street, calling after him, "We need you for a movie!". The movie was “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band” (1978). The turning point in his acting career however was “Ewoks: The Battle for Endor” (1985) (TV), a George Lucas film. In addition to cinema, he has also appeared on TV, notably as the recurring character, valet Mr. Homn, on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987).
Stuycken has appeared in two Euro-westerns: “Oblivion” (1993) and “Backlash: Oblivion 2” (1994) playing Mr. Gaunt in both.
Carel has also helped in hardware and software development of virtual reality systems.
Today we celebrate Carel Stuycken’s 65th birthday.
