University of New Haven president recounts cameo opposite Nicole Kidman in film 'Holland'
Summary
President Jens Frederickson described being cast as an extra—mistakenly as 'Hans'—and then appearing in a scene with Nicole Kidman in the film Holland; he said he received a letter from SAG confirming his participation.
Jens Frederickson, president of the University of New Haven, told hosts JW Stewart and Bruce Barber that he was contacted years earlier to appear in a production that turned out to be the feature film Holland and that the experience included meeting Nicole Kidman on set.
Frederickson recalled being mistaken for a local or extra named "Hans," being given a trailer and, at one point, cuing Kidman during the scene. "She said, 'my name's Nicole.' And I said, 'I know,'" he recounted. He also said he received a letter from SAG confirming his participation.
The hosts and Frederickson traded lighthearted banter about the cameo and noted that clips of the scene were shared privately with his family. The episode did not provide additional production credits or a role list beyond Frederickson's description; he said the film is available on Prime Video.
