Biography

Thomas Stanley Holland (born 1 June 1996) is an English actor. He has received numerous accolades, including a BAFTA Award and three Saturn Awards. Holland's films as a lead actor have grossed over $9.9 billion worldwide, making him one of the highest-grossing film actors of all time. He was featured on the 2019 Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe list.

Holland's career began at the age of nine when he enrolled in a dancing class. A choreographer noticed him and arranged an 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. Later that year, he was upgraded to the title role, 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; he received critical acclaim and a Goya Award nomination for Best New Actor. Holland then 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 TV miniseries *Wolf Hall* (2015).

Holland achieved international recognition playing Peter Parker/Spider-Man 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 became the youngest actor to play a title role in an MCU film in *Spider-Man: Homecoming*. Its sequels, *Far From Home* (2019) and *No Way Home* (2021), each grossed more than $1 billion worldwide; the latter became the highest-grossing film of the year. Holland played another action-film role in *Uncharted* (2022) and also expanded into playing against-type roles in the crime dramas *The Devil All the Time* (2020) and *Cherry* (2021).
