Chicago – While the name André Holland may not be familiar, the actor’s consummate approach to his craft is unforgettable. Specializing in character parts, Holland has raised his profile in such movie hits as “Selma” and “42,’ and on television recently with “The Knick” and “American Horror Story.” His latest film is “Moonlight.”
“Moonlight” is unusually structured – it tells the story of one boy-to-man in three chapters, with a different actor portraying him as a child, teenager and adult. The same is done for the boy’s best friend Kevin, and Holland takes on role as an adult in a crucial and expressly performed sequence, as the main character’s gay orientation is realized through Kevin’s past and present interaction with it. The film is the directorial debut of Barry Jenkins, and is a sensitive plea for understanding a difficult journey from a different type of soul.
