Beukes has stated that his favorite stage work was in Certified Male, Macbeth and Amadeus.[7] Beukes has had vocal training to imitate an American accent.[5]

Commenting on his future plans: "My ideal goal would be to have a balance of homegrown and international work. I have always, since I was a kid, wanted to work with the big boys. I would love to make some American movies and get into that industry. At the moment, I have a foot in the door and I am starting to do that. I need to ride this wave while it is going. I want to come back and do more film. The South African film industry is budding and I don’t want to not be a part of it. It’s been my bread and butter all my life.”[5]
