Frederik Percy de Groot (born 23 May 1946 in Bilthoven) is a Dutch actor. In the Netherlands he appeared in the detective series ''Bureau Kruislaan'' and its spin-off ''Unit 13''. He is best known, however, in Canada where he was the television spokesman for ING Direct for many years. The marketing campaign was developed by GWP Brand Engineering. They picked an actor with a foreign accent so that customers would not be surprised to learn the bank was also foreign.〔The Hard Sell: Rob's Weekly Ad Review. Keith McArthur. The Globe and Mail.
