Nic Balthazar (b. Belgium, 1964) appeared on Broadway at age 14. He went on to win TV and radio audiences by conducting cultural and travel programs, along with Ideefix, Europe's first green TV quiz program in 1987. Journalist and writer, his first feature, Ben X (2007), earned him international recognition; his novel Niets was alles wat hij zei (Nothing Was All He Said) and its stage adaptation were both enormously popular.
