Biography
A dignified stage actor from England who had appeared opposite the likes of Edward Terry, Sir
Johnston Forbes-Robertson, and
Alla Nazimova, the tall, ramrod-straight Thomas Holding lent his not-inconsiderable presence to numerous American silent films between 1915 and his death in 1929. Starring opposite
Pauline Frederick in his first film, the Italy-lensed
The Eternal City (1915), Holding went on to become one of the era's great supporting actors and can be seen today as Buckingham in
Douglas Fairbanks' lavish version of Dumas'
The Three Musketeers (1920). ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
