Robert Boyd Holbrook[2] (September 1, 1981)[2] is an American actor and fashion model.

Early life

Boyd Holbrook was born in Prestonsburg, Kentucky, the son of Ellen and Don Holbrook.[2]

Career

Holbrook was discovered while working part-time as a carpenter for a theatre in Kentucky.[2][3] He signed with Elite Models in 2001. He has worked for other agencies such as Wilhelmina Models.[citation needed] Holbrook has been a model for such designers and labels as Gucci, Jean Paul Gaultier, Versus, Hugo Boss, Bill Blass, Calvin Klein, Moschino, Marc Jacobs, DSquared².[citation needed]

Holbrook and model Omahyra Mota were the subjects of photographer Ellen Von Unwerth Paris gallery exhibition "Omahyra & Boyd" and the 2005 book of that title from Exhibitions International (ISBN 2-914171-20-X).[4][5]

He released a short series of poems through the website Model-Max.com, accompanied by illustrations by Jamie Strachan.[6]

From modeling and traveling throughout Europe and Asia, he raised enough money and studied film in NYU [7] where he received a SCPS Certificate in 16mm Film (photography, lighting and editing writing). Holbrook also audited classes at Columbia University on screen writing and film history. He has since produced five short films.[citation needed]

Holbrook studied acting in William Esper Studio,[citation needed] and completed the prestigious two year Meisner Program as well as Shane Ann Younts - Voice and Speech 2 Year Program.[1] It was in 2007 when he sent a screenplay to director Gus Van Sant, who was impressed enough to give him the role of Denton Smith for the movie Milk.[8] His prior acting work includes a role in the "Allison" music video for Permanent Me alongside model Tiah Eckhardt.[9]

Holbrook is also a photographer who has done work for David Armstrong. He is also a sculptor, and exhibited his work in his first art show, "Iscariot", in RARE gallery in Chelsea, New York from April 19 to May 17, 2008.[10]

Holbrook portrays DEA agent Steve Murphy in the Netflix series Narcos.

In April 2016, it was announced that Holbrook had been cast as the antagonist in the sequel to The Wolverine.[11]

Personal life

Holbrook started dating fellow actress Elizabeth Olsen in September 2012 after meeting her while working on the film Very Good Girls. In March 2014, the couple became engaged[12][13] but they split and called off their engagement in January 2015.[14]
