Muller played the role of Mark in All Stars (1999 – 2001) with the mostly the same cast as the 1997 film All Stars by Jean van de Velde. Van de Velde and Muller first worked together for the 1997 All Stars film and they ended up working together in many later television and film projects.[1]

Muller appeared in three episodes of Baantjer in different roles. In 2005, Muller also appeared in episodes of Grijpstra & De Gier and Keyzer & De Boer Advocaten.

He also played this role in the 2011 film Gooische Vrouwen and the 2014 sequel Gooische Vrouwen 2. Muller also hosted the spin-off talk show Villa Morero with Beppie Melissen and they both interviewed, in character, two guests in each episode.[2] The show was not very successful and did not get a second season.

Other series in which Muller played a role are Vechtershart, Meisje van plezier, Flikken Rotterdam and Hollands Hoop.

In 2019, he played the role of politician Morten Mathijsen in the drama series Morten based on the book series De Morten by Anna Levander, pseudonym of Dominique van der Heyde and Annet de Jong.[1][3] The series is directed by Jean van de Velde and Barbara Jurgens.[3][4]

In 2017, Muller won the Golden Calf for Best Actor award for his role as South African lawyer Bram Fischer in the film Bram Fischer.[8] Muller did accept the award at the award ceremony but did not take it home afterwards.[6] Muller gave it to film director Jean van de Velde instead, who won the Golden Calf for Best Script award for this film.[6][8][9]

He also appeared in the 2021 film Alles op Tafel, a remake of the 2016 Italian film Perfetti sconosciuti.[10] In 2022, he appeared in the film Piece of My Heart directed by Dana Nechushtan.[11]
