Personality

He carries himself as a dandy, strolling around with refined language and placing great importance on his appearance and leisurely hobbies.[4][5] His use of deodorant[6] and aftershave[2] could be smelled from great distances.

He attempts to win over women with this attitude, as seen in his pursuit of Anna van de Polder, boasting about his threefold inheritance.[2] However, when his claim to Anna is challenged by Johnny Hollyday, he loses his composure and engages in a fight.[4][5]

According to Henk de Mol, while Henri was frequently seen carrying a tennis racket, he was never actually observed playing. Instead, he was often seen commentating on the tennis players. He is also regularly depicted smoking cigarettes.[2]

Storyline

Henri Dropshot tried to court Anna van de Polder on the dyke, asking her on a walk around the Plaspoelpolder.

Notes

  1. ↑ Kemphanen (singular: kemphaan) has a double meaning in Dutch. It literally translates to the Ruff, a species of wading bird. In Dutch, it is also used to describe two people who are frequently in conflict or rivalry.
  2. ↑ Miscredited on IMDb and several other pages as Paul van Vliet
