Name: Boyd Holbrook
Age: 30
Born and raised: Kentucky. Holbrook lived in New York for seven years but is now based in LA (with his dalmation/pit-bull dog, Lucky)
Favourite thing about LA: “It’s more of an outdoors place which has me less on the verge of a nervous breakdown like being in New York – not to sound dramatic!”
Why you know him: A jack of all trades, Holbrook writes screenplays, has experimented with directing, creates art works and was given a role in Gus Van Sant’s Milk in 2009 after giving him one of his scripts.
Coming next: More writing and directing projects, although he will also continue to act, appearing in Vera Farmiga’s directorial debut, Higher Ground, which premiered at Sundance earlier this year. “She’s a phenomenal director,” he says of Farmiga. “As she’s an actor she can speak in those terms and is incredibly supportive. She created such a relaxed atmosphere and shaped us and our characters without us even realising it.”
