Career

In 2015 Hollington had the lead role of young Leo Colston in the BBC television production of The Go-Between and acted in an impressive cast including 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.

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 .

gollark: The answer is probably to have a pty of the right size, or somehow pass it to it.
gollark: I suspect the issue is that CraftOS-PC's CLI-mode default screen size in case of no tty is different to CC's default, and mine.
gollark: And so is the screen size.
