Gert, called Gertje by Samson, is a fictional character from the Samson and Gert series and comics. He is portrayed by Gert Verhulst.

Series[]

Together with his dog, Gert is the protagonist of the series. They live together in the Dorpsstraat 101 (translated: Villagestreet). Their village is however still unknown. A contuinity joke on the show is that when people enter, they say: I had to knock, because the bell doesn't ring. In the first seasons they had a Dutch neighbour Joop Mengelmoes, who tried to fix their bell.

Most of the series is placed inside the protagonist's house, so it seems like Gert is unemployed. This is however never said, stated or shown. Gert is shown to be an intelligent man, who happens to be desperately in love with Marlèneke. His love for her makes him hate Jean-Louis Michel, a successfull singer.
