In the first of our Ways of Seeing film series featuring six influential creatives, Edward Holcroft tells PORT what motivates him to be an actor
Edward Holcroft shot to prominence with appearances in Matthew Vaughn’s Kingsman: The Secret Service, and in critically acclaimed British TV series Wolf Hall, and London Spy where he co-starred alongside Ben Whishaw. He has shared the stage with Mark Rylance and Dominic West and later this year he’s set to appear in The Sense of an Ending, the big-screen adaptation of Julian Barnes’ Booker Prize-winning novel. Here, as the first instalment in PORT‘s Ways of Seeing series, where six creatives give an insight into their practice and reflect on the impact of eyewear in their daily lives, Holcroft, wearing the Ray-Ban Clubround opticals, discusses what motivates him as an actor.
