Struyken was born in the Hague, The Netherlands. When he was only 4
years old his family moved to Curacao, an island in the Caribbean.
At 16 he returned to his country, where he finished high school. He
graduated from the directing program at the film school in
Amsterdam, following which he did a year at the American Film
Institute in Los Angeles. After that he collaborated on a number of
projects of writer/director Rene Daalder. He was "discovered" as an
actor at the corner of Hollywood and Vine in Los Angeles by a lady
who had abandoned her car in the middle of the street, calling after
him: "We need you for a movie!". The movie was 'Sergeant Peppers
Lonely Hearts Club Band". The turning point in his acting career
however was 'Ewoks II', a George Lucas film. In addition to cinema
he has also appeared on TV. Carel has also helped in hardware and
software development of Virtual Reality systems.
