Tom Hollander Career
Film and television work
Hollander has created several memorable comedic characters that draw more on his physical energy and intensity than his height, such as the “brilliantly foul-mouthed” Leon in BBC Two’s Freezing, described in The Times as a “braying swirl of ego and mania”.
Hollander portrayed Lord Cutler Beckett, the “heavy” in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. He also appeared in the TNT miniseries The Company as Kim Philby, having previously played Guy Burgess in the BBC’s Cambridge Spies.
He returned to the stage in 2007 with the premiere of Joe Penhall’s play Landscape with Weapon at the Royal National Theatre.
In 2008 he made a notable cameo appearance as King George III in the HBO mini-series John Adams and ended the year as a memorable Colonel Heinz Brandt in Valkyrie.
In 2009, Hollander played a symphonic cellist in Joe Wright’s movie The Soloist, his second film with Wright, who cast him to great effect as the fevered suitor Mr. Collins in 2005’s Pride and Prejudice. He has worked once more with Wright, portraying a memorably flamboyant and menacing villain in Hanna (2011).
Hollander appeared in a lead role in Armando Iannucci’s In the Loop as Secretary of State for International Development Simon Foster MP. Hollander later made a surprise appearance (in a different role) at the end of the third series of The Thick of It, the program on which In the Loop was based.
In 2010, Hollander and writer James Wood co-created the TV series Rev., a sensitive comedy about the all-too-human vicar of an inner-city parish. Reviews called it intelligent, realistic, and very funny. Hollander played the sympathetic title character, Rev. Adam Smallbone.
The show won a BAFTA in 2011 for Best Situation Comedy, among other awards and recognition. A second series aired in the UK on BBC 2 in 2011 and the third series in 2014.
He has been praised for his role as the “inebriated and endearing, menacing and beguiling” chemist, Dr. George Cholmondeley, appearing in five episodes of the BBC / FX 2017 series Taboo with one commenter describing him as “giving a masterclass on how to create dimension and personality, even with limited screen time.”
Hollander played Queen’s second manager Jim Beach in the biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, which was released in November 2018. Upon the firing of director Bryan Singer from the film in December 2017, it was reported Hollander very nearly quit the film due to issues with Singer, but was ultimately convinced to see it through. Also in 2018, Hollander played Tabaqui, a hyena in Andy Serkis’ motion capture film Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle.
Theatre
Marber’s revival transferred to Broadway in 2018, with Hollander reprising his leading role as Carr. The play opened on 24 April 2018 (previews 29 March) at the Roundabout Theatre Company’s American Airlines Theater in New York. Hollander received a Tony Award nomination for the production.
Voice work
Hollander has undertaken a number of voice roles for BBC radio including Mosca in 2004’s Volpone for Radio 3, Frank Churchill in Jane Austen’s Emma and as Mr. Gently Benevolent in the pilot of the Dickensian parody Bleak Expectations for Radio 4, although he did not take part in the full series.
He has voiced a young Joseph Merrick, the “Elephant Man”, a disembodied head named Enzio in an urban gothic comedy, and Leon Theremin, the Russian inventor famous for the electronic instrument that bears his name.
He provided the vocal texture for Anthony Burgess’ A Clockwork Orange recently with a “smooth, almost lyrical, crisp voice” that accomplished the task of rendering the extensive and unique slang of the book instantly understandable to readers.
More recent readings include The Casual Vacancy by J. K. Rowling. In 2015 (repeated in April 2017) he played Patrick Moore in the BBC radio play Far Side of the Moore about the astronomer and his Sky at Night TV program.
In May 2016 he portrayed Geoff Cathcart in Andy Mulligan’s four-part play School Drama on BBC Radio 4 which was chosen by The Guardian as that week’s best radio and he narrated Peter Bradshaw’s short story Reunion, broadcast on Radio 4 in October 2016.
He has also portrayed the Russian artist Kazimir Malevich in Margy Kinmonth’s documentary Revolution: New Art for a New World which was released in the UK and Ireland in November 2016.
