Van Tongeren was born in Breda and was recommended to Joop van den Ende for the role of "Rien" in Spetters by casting-director Hans Kemna. The character Rien is a talented motocrosser who is paralyzed in an accident and commits suicide. Spetters was a very successful movie and van Tongeren was cast afterwards for several Dutch movies.
In 1982 Van Tongeren played a minor role with Peter Gallagher and Daryl Hannah in the American movie Summer Lovers. Van Tongeren had been admitted to mental hospitals several times; according to the Dutch media he identified too much with his roles. On 25 August 1982 he committed suicide, just after having been cast in a Nouchka van Brakel film after the novel Van de koele meren des doods by Frederik van Eeden, in which he would again have played a person committing suicide.
