Tom Hollander has worked with such acclaimed international filmmakers as Robert Altman ("Gosford Park"), Michael Apted ("Enigma"), Neil LaBute ("Possession"), Terry George ("Some Mother's Son," his film debut), Richard Eyre ("Stage Beauty") and Gore Verbinski ("Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men's Chest" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: World's End"). For his work as part of Altman's ensemble cast in "Gosford Park," Hollander shared several critics awards, including those from the Broadcast Film Critics Association, the Online Film Critics Association and the Screen Actors Guild.

He recently completed a role opposite Ralph Fiennes and Donald Sutherland in "Land of the Blind" and was just nominated as Best Supporting Actor for a 2005 British Independent Film Award for his performance opposite Johnny Depp, Samantha Morton and John Malkovich in Laurence Dunmore's "The Libertine." He also recently reteamed with actor Joseph Fiennes in Finn Taylor's forthcoming release "The Darwin Awards."

Hollander's television work is equally accomplished, with roles in the recent BBC/PBS Emmy-winning miniseries "The Lost Prince" (acclaimed as King George V opposite Miranda Richardson's Queen Mary), the adaptation of "The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickelby" opposite Charles Dance, the prominent, BAFTA-nominated BBC drama "Wives and Daughters" and a memorable guest stint as Saffie's boyfriend Paolo on the long-running BBC comedy "Absolutely Fabulous: The Last Shout." For his work as Guy Burgess in the BAFTA-nominated BBC feature "Cambridge Spies," Hollander won the Best Actor honor at the International Television Festival in Biarritz 2003.

Onstage, he collaborated with Jonathan Kent in the title role of Moliere's "Tartuffe" (Best Actor, Time Out Awards, 1996), and the role of Edgar in Shakespeare's "King Lear," and in Gogol's stage classic, "The Government Inspector," all at the Almeida. He also starred for Oscar-nominee Stephen Daldry in "The Editing Process" and starred in the title role of the original staging of Jez Butterworth's Olivier Award-winning drama "Mojo" at London's Royal Court Theater. He first worked with theatre director Richard Eyre in his 1998 staging of David Hare's "The Judas Kiss," originating his role opposite Liam Neeson in London's West End before reprising his performance across the Atlantic on the Broadway stage the same year. For his work on the English stage, Hollander has won four Ian Charleson Awards, including one for his performance in "Way of the World" at the Lyric, Hammersmith, in 1992. Most recently, he returned to the Donmar Warehouse to great acclaim for his performance as Laurie in "The Hotel in Amsterdam."
