Andre was born and raised in the Western Cape in South Africa and graduated from Rondebosch Boy's High in 1972.
At University, where he majored in Languages and Political Philosophy, his passion for theatre was ignited under the tutorship of an independent theatre practitioner, Dr Ben Behaeck. This produced an experimental community theatre called Die Breughel Teater, and years at the Arts Council followed, which included numerous productions in all performing arts disciplines.
TV series such as Arende and Stolen Lives featured, as well as a host of Shakespearean open-air productions—notably Koning Lear, a post-modern Afrikaans version of the original King Lear written by Tom Lanoye in 2019 and adapted to film in 2021.
