He's a polar explorer too.After he was awarded the Louis d'Or in 2019 - the most prestigious Dutch actor's prize, his second in 4 years - a critic wrote: 'Ramsey Nasr is an overwhelming multi-talent'. Dutch critics don't say things lightly.People who've seen him perform as Jude in 'A Little Life' - the exclusive theatrical interpretation of Hanya Yanagihara's novel - will agree. This was his most powerful, yet vulnerable part on stage. He was at his best, working with the best stage director: Ivo van Hove of the International Theater Amsterdam (ITA) and of Lazarus-fame, David Bowie's final project. Van Hove's adaptation of Ayn Rand's novel 'The Fountainhead' won Ramsey his first Louis d'Or in 2015.Another highlight in 2019 was his role as Thomas Mann in 'Death in Venice', with ITA and a symphonic orchestra.

Ramsey gained a lot off weight, dyed his hair and transformed into Ischa.In 1995, when Ramsey graduated from the Studio Herman Teirlinck in Antwerp with a monologue he wrote himself, his career as an actor started alongside his career as a writer and poet.
