Career
1981–1999: Early roles and Broadway debut
Hollander made his television debut at the age of 14 acting in the television film John Diamond (1981).
Hollander's other early roles in television include Jonathan in the BBC drama series Harry (1993 to 1995), Paolo Ferruzzi in the British sitcom Absolutely Fabulous (1996), and Osborne Hamley in the BBC miniseries Wives and Daughters (1999).[22][23] Hollander made his film debut in 1996 film Some Mother's Son starring Helen Mirren about the 1981 Irish hunger strike.[24] That same year he starred in the sports drama True Blue (1996).[25] He then acted in the British romantic comedy Martha, Meet Frank, Daniel and Laurence (1998), and the comedy drama Bedrooms and Hallways (1998), and the comedy The Clandestine Marriage (1999).[26][27][28]

Hollander has undertaken a number of voice roles for BBC Radio, including Mosca in 2004's Volpone for BBC Radio 3, Frank Churchill in Jane Austen's Emma and as Mr Gently Benevolent in the pilot of the Dickensian parody Bleak Expectations for BBC Radio 4, although he did not take part in the full series. He has voiced a young Joseph Merrick, the "Elephant Man", a disembodied head named Enzio in an urban gothic comedy[35] and Leon Theremin, the Russian inventor famous for the electronic instrument that bears his name. He provided the vocal texture for Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange recently with a "smooth, almost lyrical, crisp voice" that accomplished the task of rendering the extensive and unique slang of the book instantly understandable to readers.[36] Since 2008, he has written an occasional diary-style column for The Spectator,[37] and a lifestyle article in the The Times, which received positive reader comments.[38]
Hollander portrayed Lord
In 2010, Hollander and writer James Wood co-created the TV series Rev., a sensitive comedy about the all-too-human vicar of an inner-city parish.[40] Hollander played the sympathetic title character, Rev. Adam Smallbone. The show won a BAFTA in 2011 for Best Situation Comedy,[41] among other awards and recognition.[42] A second series aired in the UK on BBC 2 in 2011 and a third series in 2014.[43] In 2010, Hollander returned to the live stage in a demanding comedic dual role in Georges Feydeau's A Flea in Her Ear at the Old Vic. Playing both master and servant with "lightning physical precision and shockingly true confusion",[44] Hollander's was called "a virtuoso performance".[45]
