Career
[edit]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.[1] 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."[2] Sam Woolaston, 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)".[3] The Go-Between was nominated for a BAFTA award in the category of best single drama in 2016.[4]
Hollington has the role of 'Young Beowulf' in three episodes of the ITV television mini-series Beowulf: The Return to the Shield Lands and has roles in feature films Bitter Harvest and Brimstone .
