SAN JOSE, Calif. — Rainier Koeners left home at the age of 17 and ended up in London to pursue his passion for theater.
Having already done quite a bit of theater work in his hometown of Zoetermeer in the Netherlands during his teen years, Koeners would eventually enroll in the Guildford School of Acting after landing in England.
Yet, it was a non-acting gig — working as an usher at the West End’s famed Piccadilly Theatre — that really pointed him toward his future in the theater world.
