Peter X, the real undercoveragent that Tom Waes the tricks of the trade learned: I have no Fear, there are plenty of people who make me want to afknallen

TV “I have relationships with female undercover agents to pretend to be, but ’t m’n life is not destroyed.” That, says Peter X. (48), who's five years as undercoveragent worked in just about all criminal circles, in Day All. A barrel full of anecdotes, experiences, and knowledge, and, therefore, the perfect counselor to be of ‘Undercover’ on One a true crimi. “He is killing, can good drinking, and with everyone, for instance. Tom Waes would be really a good spy.”

He may have for a while stopped undercoverwerk, Peter X. go rather low profile life. An interview, backed by ‘Undercover’-a scriptwriter and showrunner Nico Moolenaar (33) is not a problem, but for photos to fit the man rather. “I hear people sometimes aloud, wondering whether or not ‘Undercover’ is not just a story that far removed from the reality,” says Peter. “But I can assure everyone of the series is really one hundred percent credible.”

it was a kind of watchdog on the set.

Nico Moolenaar: Peter was first and foremost a guard dog in the writer's room, because he from the beginning was involved in the scenarios. And that was good, because we wanted the work of undercover agents correctly into view, and then it is a luxury to have someone next to you to have those years the field has been.

Peter: Our work is very complex. There are lots of rules and who know only people who are in the box have been. So it should be a secret agent never illegal things to do to get his goal.

In ‘Undercover’ we saw agent Kim however a xtc pill to swallow.

Peter: In a real situation may be something only with the express prior permission of a magistrate. That had Kim in the series.

Nico: But we have that solved by the her to conceal. Kim reports, not her superiors. And also her partner Bob keeps the secret. So is Kim's ‘slip’ so not in the file.

this kind of thing Happens also in real life?

Peter: Rather exceptional. The big difference between secret agents and criminals is that the first strict rules and the gangster. And that makes the job not easier. If you undercover something is wrong, can have serious consequences. If you are in a search of a murder weapon, but the formalities of search warrants are not all in order, then that finding is simply not involved in the research. That's something the outside world does not always understand.

A beautiful woman kissing, seems to me not so difficult. But is that allowed?

Peter: A friendly relationships and bonds with the people you supervise, it is quite normal for spies. But if that evolves into a sexual relationship, the degree of influence is so large that it deviates from the normal. What really can't: an agent to anyone things asks who that person in normal circumstances would not do, but now it is because that is in love with the agent. That is manipulation. Ask someone to give you a weapon to sell, is incitement. And that is really out of the question. The initiative may never of the agent. The law is very clear. No solicitation, no provocation.

do you Like your as a scriptwriter on all of those rules?

Nico: Absolutely, because we want to be right. And if the characters do not comply with the rules, it has consequences for the story.

Peter: Otherwise, it would be a bullshit series, hey. ‘Undercover’ is really good, everything in it happens, I believe as an ex-agent. Almost everything you see on tv, I have really experienced.

You're five years been active as a undercoveragent, isn't it?

Peter: The most beautiful period of my life. In the meantime, I'm already there for a while, stopped. If you have lots of things running and very intense undercoverwerk does, it is five years almost to the maximum. Physically and mentally, this job is no longer to keep. The selectieproeven to undercoveragent to be, are extremely heavy. There are also no fifty secret agents in our country, hey. Furthermore, this work also has a huge impact on your personal life. Also that aspect is well highlighted in the series.
