Jack Hollington
British actor
Jack Hollington (born 2 July 2001) is a British actor who has appeared in film, radio, stage and television productions. He made his debut in the National Theatre's production of An Inspector Calls followed by a role in the touring production of Medea. Hollington's breakthrough performance was as Nathan in the West End and National Tour play of The Full Monty. His television roles began with the Doctor Who episode, The Time of the Doctor, followed by the Casualty episode "Home".
Career
In 2015, Hollington played the lead role of young Leo Colston in the BBC television production of The Go-Between alongside Jim Broadbent and Vanessa Redgrave. His performance in The Go- Between was considered by Jasper Rees in The Daily Telegraph to be: " a superbly intuitive performance from a young actor bearing a heavy burden. Hollington held his ground throughout"..."In key scenes he sang like Ernest Lough and took his cricket catch like Ben Stokes." Sam Wollaston, for The Guardian, praised Hollington's performance: "not just for his convincing performance as young Leo, but also for being a totally convincing young Jim Broadbent (old Leo)". The Go-Between was nominated for a BAFTA award in the category of best single drama in 2016.
Hollington has the role of 'Young Beowulf' in three episodes of the ITV television mini-series Beowulf: Return to the Shieldlands and has roles in feature films Bitter Harvest and Brimstone .

Why this record matters
The phrase “british actor” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q22278224. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2001, 2015 and 2016.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
