Angela Schijf is a Dutch actress best known to audiences for her long-running role in the popular police procedural series Flikken Maastricht. Born Angela Van Landuyt-Schijf on August 7, 1979, in Uithoorn, Netherlands, she embarked on a successful acting career that has made her a familiar face on Dutch and Belgian television for decades. Her professional journey is marked by a significant early breakthrough and a defining role that cemented her status as a television mainstay.

Her claim to fame arrived at a remarkably young age when, in 1990, she was cast as Kim Azalaia-Verduyn in the enduring Dutch soap opera Goede tijden, slechte tijden (Good Times, Bad Times). She portrayed the character for several formative years, gaining valuable experience and public recognition. Following this early success, Schijf continued to build her filmography with various television roles throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. In 2002, she married actor Tom Van Landuyt, with whom she has collaborated professionally on several projects.

The major turning point in Angela Schijf's career came in 2007 when she joined the cast of Flikken Maastricht, a spin-off of the Belgian series Flikken. In the show, she took on the central role of police officer Eva van Dongen, a part she played with dedication for fifteen years. Her portrayal became synonymous with the series, and she was a key part of its enduring popularity until her departure in 2022. This role demonstrated her ability to anchor a major primetime drama and connected her with a wide audience across the Netherlands and Flanders.

Beyond her iconic work on Flikken Maastricht, Schijf has maintained a steady presence on screen. She has appeared in other television series such as Sinterklaasjournaal and Koppensnellers, and has taken on roles in films including Alles is Liefde and Koning van Katoren. Her career is characterized by consistency and a strong connection to television drama. As of recent years, following her exit from the police series, she continues her acting work, remaining an active and respected figure in the Dutch entertainment industry.
