He recently had a substantial arc on the hit FX show Sons of Anarchy (2008), for creator Kurt Sutter and Satellite Award Nominated feature film, Swelter (2014), for writer/director Keith Parmer. His accomplished list of movies and directors he has collaborated with include Terrence Malick on The Thin Red Line (1998), Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller on Sin City (2005), Guy Ritchie on "Suspect" (2007) (TV), Eli Roth on Cabin Fever (2002), Sergei Bodrov on Running Free (1999) and Robert M. Young on Caught (1996). Arie Verveen's first lead role in a feature film was in Caught (1996), opposite Edward James Olmos and Maria Conchita Alonso and directed by acclaimed director Robert M. Young. He first experimented with the idea of acting while living in London Town. He was intrigued by the writings of Tennessee Williams plays such as 'Orpheus Descending', 'Camino Real' and 'Talk To Me Like The Rain And Let Me Listen'... Verveen's London stage debut was a production of 'A Hatful of Rain' written by Michael V. Gazzo which he produced and starred in. Shortly thereafter he visited New York City with filmmaking in mind. After contributing time at the famed Actors Studio on a volunteer basis he was asked to take over the day to day running of the Studio. He committed to this position for a six month period assisting Arthur Penn. Fulfillment of his Actors Studio commitment coincided with him being cast in Caught (1996).
