THOMAS STANLEY HOLLAND, better known as Tom Holland, is an actor, dancer and the new Spider
Man.

Son of the british comedian Dominic Holland and the photographer Nícola Elizabeth Frost.
He has three little brothers who have also worked as actors: the twins, Harry and Sam,

Since he was a kid, he has always loved dancing.
He started dancing at home listening to Janet Jackson’s songs, and his mom decided to
sign him up to the dance school Nifty Feet in Wimbledon.
The coreographer Lynne Page noticed his talent and suggested that he should audition for
the Billy Elliot musical.
After a long process, he got the part and he played Billy in the musical for 3 years.
His leap to the big screen took place in 2012, when he was chosen to play Lucas in the movie
“The Impossible”, from the Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona.
A drama film starred by Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor, based on the real story of the tsunami
that destroyed the coast of South East Asia in 2004.
Tom’s performance left his film mates and the critics with their mouth open.
Holland, despite his young age, has interpreted many different characters.
After “The Impossible”, he got roles in movies such as “How I live Now” and “Locke”.
In 2015, he participated in several episodes of the british miniseries “Wolf Hall”,
and he also became the sailor Thomas Nickerson, in “In the Heart of the Sea”.
In 2016 he participated in “Edge of Winter”, and he also became the new millennial superhero
Spiderman in “Captain America: Civil War”.
For the part, he had to fake an american accent, and many people thought he wasnt british.
Playing Peter Parker was a dream come true for him - he’s been a fan since he was a
little kid!
He found out he had got the part when he appeared on the official Marvel Instagram, at the same
time as all of his fans.
Tom is known as the spoiler-man - thats probably why he didnt get the call earlier and even
his brother., Harry, thought he had been trolled.
In 2017, we saw him as an explorer during the jungle adventure “The Lost City of Z”,
and as a nóvice monk in Pilgrimage.
Tom is a fun boy who never stops surprising us, either with his videos on Instagram, where
he has more than 8 million followers and where he shows his arachnid skills making all kinds
of acrobatics, or as the best imitator of Rihanna in the world, with her sexy dance
to “Umbrella” in the MTV Lip Sync Battle against Zendaya (zendéia)

team in Avengers Infinity War.
He also participated in the historical drama film “The Current War”.
He has captivated everyone so much with his iconic superhero character that there will
be a second Spiderman movie and he will also be part of the next Avengers movie.
Even tho he has stuntmen for the most dangerous scenes in Spiderman, Tom decided to do many
of those scenes himself, thanks to his training as a dancer.
He was nominated as Best New Actor in the GOYA awards in 2012 thanks to “The Impossible”,
and he won the EE Rising Star Award in the BAFTA awards 2017.
Outside the screen, he also has the heart of a hero.
Along with his family, he created Brothers Trust, an organization to raise money for
humanitarian causes and he has participated in many fundraisers with the famous organization
Anthony Nolan.
As all the SpiderMan fans know, with great power comes great responsibility.
Tom doesnt let fame get to his head, and is a charming and fun boy.
He has a dog called Tessa, who even joins him in some interviews.

he will make it.
