About Adriaan Van Hees
- Adriaan Nicolaas Johan van Hees (3 May 1910 – 2 December 1976) was a Dutch actor and member of the National Socialist Movement in the Netherlands (NSB).
- Van Hees was trained in Amsterdam and Germany, and spent a few years in theater and film.
- He quit professional acting to join the NSB, giving speeches and overseeing the organization's theater division, arguing that the change he thought necessary in Dutch drama had to come from political revolution.

- After the war, he was banned from the stage for ten years, and sentenced to five years in prison.
