Rise to Fame
Patrick Holland began his acting career with Tom’s directorial venture, the 2015 short comedy film ‘Tweet.’ Patrick was cast as himself in the movie. Following this, in 2017, he made an appearance in an episode of ‘Entertainment Tonight,’ which is an American first-run syndicated entertainment TV news magazine distributed by ‘CBS.’ Patrick’s most notable screen appearance was in the 2018 mystery buddy comedy film ‘Holmes & Watson,’ in which he played a tough kid.
Tom’s Influence
Tom has played a crucial role in paving Patrick’s way to Hollywood. His experience and contacts in the industry have already helped Patrick a lot in bagging projects. In addition, he often accompanies Tom to public events, which brings him the much-required media attention. In June 2017, Patrick joined Tom at the ‘Spider-Man’ premiere. The entire Holland family, including their grandparents and their cousin, Sydney, attended the event. While Tom was being interviewed at the red carpet, Patrick boldly stepped in between but only to speak about his brother’s performance. He mentioned that he wanted to be like him. Patrick added that although he attends several auditions, he mostly ends up being rejected. However, the little boy did not seem shattered but was rather confident to work harder. Tom showed his confidence in Patrick’s talent and shared his idea of sharing screen space with him in a future ‘Spider-Man’ film. He suggested that their resemblance made Patrick an appropriate choice to play the younger version of his character or ‘Spider-Man’s’ “long lost brother.”
