Paul Haenen [pÉ"É« 'haË nÉ™(n)] (born 30 April 1946) is a Dutch
comedian and voice actor.Paul Haenen is a well-known comedian in the
Netherlands and also provides the voices of Bert, Grover and other
minor characters on Sesamstraat, the Dutch co-production of Sesame
Street, since Sesamstraat's first season in 1976. Wim T. Schippers is
responsible for his counterpart Ernie. Haenen also translates many of
the American Sesame Street songs into Dutch so that they can be used
in the Dutch version of the show.It is told that Jim Henson was so
impressed by the performances of Haenen and Schippers, that they are
the only Bert and Ernie in the world who are allowed to write their
own material. Subsequently, Haenen and Schippers have recorded a whole
series of self written Bert and Ernie record albums, and they also
appear as Bert and Ernie in interviews. Haenen was also the voice of
Edna Mode in the Dutch version of The Incredibles.Haenen uses several
other alter egos in his comedy performances, most notably Margreet
Dolman (a likeable woman of middle age with remarkable optimism, but
lacking knowledge of technology) and clergyman Father Gremdaat
(Dominee Gremdaat, who preaches like a pastor about what is wrong with
society, and how people should behave instead, with a number of
standard expressions). Paul Haenen Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
