Meet Tom Holland’s younger actor brother, Harry Holland: the Marvel star’s sibling was in The Mandalorian and Diana, and also writes and directs – but he got cut from Spider-Man: No Way Home
Tom Holland put in an appearance at the Sands International Film Festival in St Andrews, Scotland on April 19 alongside his little brother at the screening of their short film Last Call, as reported by Deadline.
The Holland brothers shot the project together in London, which Harry wrote and Tom acted in, per the same source.
“When I wrote the film we were in Cleveland, Ohio, working on Cherry and I was struggling with my own mental health,” Harry reportedly told the audience at the festival. “I knew I wanted to create something and the theme of mental health would be at the forefront of whatever I wrote.”
Here’s what we know about Tom Holland’s little brother and his budding film career.
Who are Harry Holland’s parents?
Dad Dominic works as a comedian, author and broadcaster. As stated on his website, he has written nine books and was behind the BBC Radio 4 series The Small World of Dominic Holland. According to his IMDB profile, he has also worked as a writer on British TV series including Brand Spanking New Show (2000), Unleaded (2014) and The Rob Brydon Show (2010). Their mum Nikki, who studied textiles at university with Dominic, also took up a different career after graduating. Per her website, she is a “highly experienced photographer” who specialises in head shots for actors, social media and companies.
Where did the Holland family grow up?
After having Tom Holland, Dominic and Nikki had twins Sam and Harry in 1999, and their youngest son, Paddy, in 2004. According to People, they were all raised in Kingston upon Thames in London, UK.
What does Harry Holland do for a living?
According to Tom’s interview on The Graham Norton Show, Harry was also supposed to star in Spider-Man: No Way Home, but his scene didn’t make the final cut.
“We cast Harry and he’s on set. I go up to the stunt coordinator and I’m like, ‘Please, just whatever you do with the stunt, make it so he’s upside down.’ Bless him, he’s doing a really good job …” he said, adding, “But the icing on the cake – and I don’t think he actually knows this – we saw the film the other day and they’ve cut the scene. It’s not in the film.”
However, Harry’s real passion appears to be directing, and he has been behind six short films to date, including Roses for Lily and the aforementioned Last Call.
