TOM HOLLAND
Thomas Stanley Holland (born 1 June
1996) is an English actor. His accolades
include a British Academy Film Award,
three Saturn Awards, a Guinness World
Record and an appearance on the
Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe list. Some
publications have called him one of the
most popular actors of his generation.

Holland's career began at age nine when

he enrolled in a dancing class, where a
choreographer noticed him and
arranged for him to audition for a role in
Billy Elliot the Musical at London's
Victoria Palace Theatre. After two years
of training, he secured a supporting part
in 2008 and was upgraded to the title
role that year, which he played until
2010. Holland made his film debut in the
disaster drama The Impossible (2012) as
a teenage tourist trapped in a tsunami,
for which he received a London Film
Critics Circle Award for Young British
Performer of the Year. After this, Holland
decided to pursue acting as a full-time
career, appearing in How I Live Now
(2013) and playing historical figures in
the film In the Heart of the Sea (2015)
and the miniseries Wolf Hall (2015).

Holland achieved international

recognition playing Spider-Man/Peter
Parker in six Marvel Cinematic Universe
(MCU) superhero films, beginning with
Captain America: Civil War (2016). The
following year, Holland received the
BAFTA Rising Star Award and later
became the youngest actor to play a title
role in an MCU film in Spider-Man:
Homecoming. The sequels Far From
Home (2019) and No Way Home (2021)
each grossed more than $1 billion
worldwide, and the latter became the
highest-grossing film of the year. During
this period, Holland gained recognition
for playing darker roles in the crime
dramas The Devil All the Time (2020) and
Cherry (2021). Holland has additionally
directed the short film Tweet (2015) and
voiced roles in computer-animated
features, including Onward (2020).
