Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Holland was drawn to the arts at an early age. Fascinated by the “Queen of England” at only six years old, Holland would put on one-woman plays for her family, emulating her favorite royal. Holland took her love of performing one step further and enrolled in theatre camps as well as acting classes to further her passion. However, it was Holland’s second love, science that brought her out to Los Angeles and jump-started her career.
Holland enrolled as a molecular biology major and after one year of school, realized she wanted to return to her passion in acting. Within two months of hiring an agent, Holland got her first big break, a recurring role on HBO’s “12 Miles of Bad Road.” Holland learned the highs and lows of this business early on, experiencing how such a promising show could be cancelled before it premiered. However, she persevered and went on to book guest starring appearances on shows such as: The Event, Cold Case, Community, and Criminal Minds, as well as a lead in the cult classic franchise: Bring It On: Fight to the Finish.
Most recently this budding beauty was cast in a lead role for the much-anticipated MTV series “Teen Wolf.” Based on the Michael J. Fox’s ’80s comedy,’ “Teen Wolf” will take a more dramatic approach to the story about a high school geek who gains supernatural powers after being attacked by a wolf. Holland plays the role of mean girl Lydia Martin, whom the actress says is a mix of Tracy Flick’s IQ (Election) meets Violet Beauregarde’s spunk (Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory). “Teen Wolf” is scheduled to air in 2011.
Even though Holland has been fulfilling her dream as an actor, she still remained dedicated to her education as a full-time student. However, due to Holland’s busy work schedule, she was forced to make the hard decision of switching majors, leaving her love for science behind and majoring in women studies; a field Holland found surprisingly fascinating and recently received her degree in from UCLA.
In contrast to her professional and academic life, Holland’s free time consists of exploring the world of music. Whether it’s coming across new indie artists or listening to her all time favorites including Ingrid Michaelson, Josh Rouse, Cat Stevens, Mumford & Sons, and Crash Kings, Holland is a music fan through and through.
