'''Johan Heinrich''' (Joop) '''Doderer''' (28 August 1921 – 22 September 2005)<ref name=r1/> was a Dutch actor, well known for his role as the [[tramp]] [[Swiebertje]] in the [[eponym]]ous television series. The series ran for 17 seasons between 1955 and 1975, and was broadcast by the [[NCRV]]. Besides the role of Swiebertje, Doderer played in dozens of radio and television programs, played the role of Alfred Doolittle in ''[[My Fair Lady]]'', acted in Dutch and English movies, and appeared on stage in [[comedies]], [[Musical theatre|musicals]], [[cabaret]] and [[drama]]s.
==Biography== Doderer was born in [[Velsen]],<ref name=r1/> but brought up in [[Amsterdam]]. After finishing the ''[[Hogereburgerschool]]'', he persuaded his parents to let him take acting lessons. In 1939, aged 18, he was rejected by the Amsterdam acting school for "lack of talent". Instead, he started his acting career as an extra at the [[Nederlandsch Toneel]], which enabled him to study actors like [[Cor van der Lugt Melsert]].
After [[World War II]], he played in many comedies and musicals. For seven years he was part of the ensemble of [[Wim Sonneveld]], where he met his first wife [[Conny Stuart]]. He also acted in some movies (''[[Het Wonderlijke leven van Willem Parel]]'', 1959) and featured on the radio (''[[De bonte dinsdagavondtrein]]'' and ''[[Koek en ei]]''). From the 1950s onward, Doderer was a star. He often ad-libbed on stage, to the amusement of the audience, but not of his co-players. At the age of 52, he married 21-year-old Ester. Together they had two children.<ref name=r1/>
Between 1955 and 1975 he played [[Swiebertje]] on television. In 2001, the series was given the one-time-only ''Signaal'' award for the best television show in the past 50 years as voted by [[Netherlands|Dutch]] television viewers. Doderer was quite proud of his fame as Swiebertje, although it took him many years after the end of the series to look back positively (see below). In 2003, a bust of Swiebertje was placed in the town of [[Oudewater]], where many of the outdoor scenes of the series were shot.<ref name="iedereen">{{cite news |last=Ockhuysen |first=Ronald |title=Swiebertje was een man van iedereen |url=http://www.volkskrant.nl/vk/nl/2676/Cultuur/article/detail/667718/2005/09/23/Swiebertje-was-een-man-van-iedereen.dhtml |work=[[de Volkskrant]] |date=23 September 2005 |access-date=19 October 2013 |language=Dutch}}</ref>
Doderer was a [[Ridder in de Orde van Oranje-Nassau]] (Knight of the [[Order of Orange-Nassau]]).
Doderer died in a [[nursing home]] in [[Roelofarendsveen]] and is buried at [[Zorgvlied (cemetery)|Zorgvlied cemetery]].
==Swiebertje-effect== Being identified with Swiebertje hampered Doderer when playing serious roles after 1975, to the point where on one occasion the audience started singing the theme of ''Swiebertje'' when he got on stage. In the Netherlands, this effect of [[Typecasting (acting)|typecasting]] became known as the "Swiebertje-effect". Doderer even moved to England and there obtained guest roles in television dramas.<ref name="iedereen"/> In 1979, he played a South African agent in ''[[The Human Factor (1979 film)|The Human Factor]]'', directed by [[Otto Preminger]], alongside [[Richard Attenborough]], [[Derek Jacobi]] and [[John Gielgud]].
In the 1990s Doderer finally succeeded in shedding his comedian image, and played serious roles in Dutch theatres under the direction of [[Ivo van Hove]] and [[Ger Thijs]].
