André dived into the world of acting as an 11-year-old kid when he appeared in “Oliver!” on stage. He attended John Carroll Catholic High School after which he enrolled at Florida State University. Holland continued his education at New York University from which he graduated in 2006, obtaining his Master of Fine Arts degree. As an actor, he debuted in 2006 when he appeared in “Blue Door” stage play for which he received positive critics’ reviews. Subsequently, he made his on-camera debut in one episode of the “Law & Order” TV series in the same year. These engagements helped André Holland to establish himself as a promising actor, and also provided the basis for his net worth.

In the course of the next several years, André honed his acting skills, starring in several supporting roles in movies including “Sugar” (2008), “Bride Wars” and “Lost & Found” both in 2009 as well as in the “Damages” TV series. However, his career was set on the rising path later in 2011 when he was cast for the recurring role of Julian ‘Fitz’ Fitzgerald in NBC’s romantic sitcom “Friends with Benefits”. However, the real breakthrough in André Holland’s acting career occurred in 2012 when he secured the role of Marshall Malloy in NBC’s sitcom about a White House’s dysfunctional family – “1600 Penn”.

In 2013 Holland starred as Wendell Smith in the biographical sports drama about baseballer Jackie Robinson entitled “42”, while in 2014 he portrayed Andrew Young in the critically acclaimed historical drama about Martin Luther King Jr. – “Selma”. That year was particularly successful in André’s career as he was also cast for one of his most memorable roles so far – of Dr. Algernon Edwards in Steven Soderbergh’s TV drama series “The Knick”. Doubtlessly, these performances increased André Holland’s net worth by a large sum.

His more recent on-camera appearances include “American Horror Story”, the TV series in which he starred as Matt Miller, as well as in 2016 drama “Moonlight” which won three Academy Awards. Apart from all those already mentioned, in addition to his film and television career, André Holland has continued to act in theatre as well, appearing in productions such as “Wig Out”, “The Whipping Man” and the Broadway stage play “Jitney”. Holland’s latest projects include appearances in the sci-fi fantasy movie “A Wrinkle in Time”, as well as in the heist thriller “Windows”, both expected to hit the theaters in 2018.

Fact

Reflecting on that experience, he said, “I didn’t know people could do that onstage: talk the way people I knew talked, face the same issues that people in my community faced.” In 2017 Holland went on to appear in one of Wilson’s plays himself: a Broadway revival of “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone.”.
