Piet Hendriks was to the public mainly known as the 'Ingenieur' in the legendary tv-musical 'Ja Zuster, Nee Zuster'. Until the early nineties he played in the Dutch edition of Sesamestreet.

His only title-part was in the televisions series 'De Wolvenman' (The Wolf-man) by Dick Walda, as a widowed man who starts a new romance, and doing so arouses the anger of his children.
