Biography

Julian Holloway's illustrious career spans over six decades, marked by a diverse range of performances in theatre, television, and film. His theatrical debut took place in London's West End, where he appeared in the revue "All Square" at the Vaudeville Theatre.

He went on to star in numerous West End productions, including Christopher Hampton's "When Did You Last See My Mother?" at the Comedy Theatre, Colin Spencer's "Spitting Image" at the Duke of York's Theatre, and a successful revival of "Arsenic And Old Lace" at the Westminster Theatre.

Holloway's early television credits include co-starring in the BBC series "Ukridge" and performing in his first "Carry On" venture, "Follow That Camel". This led to featured roles in several other "Carry On" films, including "Carry On Up The Khyber", "Carry On Camping", "Carry On Loving", and more.

In the 1970s, Holloway formed a company with director Gerry O' Hara and wrote and produced two short films, "The Spy's Wife" and "The Chairman's Wife". He then focused primarily on television, appearing in numerous productions, including BBC's "Play of the Month", "The Importance Of Being Earnest", "Elizabeth R", and more.

Holloway made his directorial debut in the theatre with productions of "When Did You Last See My Mother?" and "Play It Again Sam". He also produced the film "Loophole" and appeared in the TV movie "The Scarlet And The Black" alongside Gregory Peck.

In the 1980s, Holloway gained a reputation as a skilled voiceover talent and formed the London voice over agency Hobsons with partner Sue Bonnici. He co-starred in the Doctor Who trilogy, "Survival", and appeared in episodes of popular shows such as "Minder", "The New Avengers", "The Professionals", and more.

In the early 1990s, Holloway relocated to California and began a new phase of his career in animation. He voiced characters in syndicated series such as "James Bond Jr", "Where's Waldo", and "Captain Zed And The Zee Zone".

Holloway made his Broadway debut in a revival of "My Fair Lady" in 1993 and went on to co-star with Albert Finney in the Yorkshire TV series "My Uncle Silas". He later returned to the U.S. to work on the Dreamworks/Pixar network series "Father Of The Pride" and directed "Abigail's Party" at the Odyssey Theatre in Los Angeles.

In recent years, Holloway has appeared with Johnny Depp in "The Rum Diary" and had a recurring role as the voice of "Death" in Cartoon Network's "Regular Show".
