Early life and education

Ian Holm Cuthbert was born on 12 September 1931 in Goodmayes, Essex, to Scottish parents, James Cuthbert and his wife Jean (née Holm). His father was a psychiatrist who worked as the superintendent of the West Ham Corporation Mental Hospital and was one of the pioneers of electric shock therapy; his mother was a nurse. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] He had an older brother, who died when Ian was 12 years old. [8] Holm was educated at the independent Chigwell School in Essex. [3] [8] His parents retired to Mortehoe in Devon and then to Worthing, where he joined an amateur dramatic society. [9]

A chance encounter with Henry Baynton, a well-known provincial Shakespearean actor, helped Holm train for admission to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, where he secured a place from 1950. [3] [10] His studies were interrupted a year later when he was called up for National Service in the British Army, [10] during which he was posted to Klagenfurt, Austria, and attained the rank of Lance Corporal. They were interrupted a second time when he volunteered to go on an acting tour of the United States in 1952. [9] Holm graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 1953. [3]

He made his stage debut in 1954, at Stratford-upon-Avon, playing a spear carrier in a staging of Othello . [11] Two years later, he made his London stage debut in Love Affair. [11]

Career

Holm was an established actor in the Royal Shakespeare Company before he gained notice in television and film. He began in 1954 with minor roles, progressing to Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream and the fool in King Lear . [10] In 1965, he played Richard III in the BBC serialisation of The Wars of The Roses , based on the RSC production of the plays. He gained acclaim for his role in the 1968 film The Bofors Gun , winning the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. [12] In 1969, he appeared in Moonlight on the Highway . [13] He took on minor roles in films such as Oh! What a Lovely War (1969), [14] Nicholas and Alexandra (1971), [15] Mary, Queen of Scots (1972) [16] and Young Winston (1972). [17]

In 1967 Holm won a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play as Lenny in The Homecoming by Harold Pinter. Holm appeared in the 1977 television mini-series Jesus of Nazareth as the Sadducee Zerah, and as the villain in March or Die . The following year he played J. M. Barrie in the award-winning BBC mini-series The Lost Boys , [18] In 1981, he played Frodo Baggins in the BBC radio adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings . [19]

Holm's first film role to gain much notice was that of Ash, the "calm, technocratic" science officer – later revealed to be an android – in Ridley Scott's science-fiction film Alien (1979). [20] His portrayal of the running coach Sam Mussabini in Chariots of Fire (1981) earned him a special award at the Cannes Film Festival, a BAFTA award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, and an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. [20] [21] [22] In the 1980s, Holm played in Time Bandits (1981), Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984) and Brazil (1985).

[26] He continued to perform Shakespeare in films. He appeared with Kenneth Branagh in Henry V (1989) [27] and as Polonius to Mel Gibson's Hamlet (1990).

[22] He played Napoleon Bonaparte three times: in the television mini-series Napoleon and Love (1974), Terry Gilliam's Time Bandits (1981), and The Emperor's New Clothes .
