Thomas Stanley Holland, born 1 June 1996, is an English actor.

His awards 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 that
role, 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. In fact,
No Way Home 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). He's young with a lot of awards although it appears his career
has only just started.
