Personal details
- Birth Location: Dallas, Texas, USA
- Professions: Actor, Producer, Stunts
Evan Holtzman grew up deep in the heart of Dallas, Texas, with a mom who wrangled preschoolers for a living and a dad who crunched numbers. He didn’t exactly pop out of the womb dreaming of red carpets. The guy headed to UT Austin, got his mech engineering degree, and started life in Houston surrounded by oil rigs and the smell of petrochemicals. Not exactly the stuff of Hollywood dreams. But then—plot twist—he bailed on Texas for L.A. and ended up with a roommate trying to make it big as an actor. Wildly out of his element, Evan thought, “Yeah, why not?” and signed up for an acting class just to shake things up. One class in, and he’s hooked. Like, really hooked. Suddenly, it’s goodbye blueprints, hello headshots. Flash forward, Evan’s making serious moves. You’ll catch him soon in A24’s Warfare, which is being steered by Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza—no small potatoes. Not long ago, he went toe-to-toe with Glen Powell and Adria Arjona in Richard Linklater’s Hit Man on Netflix (2024, if you’re keeping score). TV? He’s no stranger. Shared scenes with Elisabeth Shue in On The Verge (2021) and held his own with Michelle Monaghan in Messiah (2020). Plus, he’s popped up in episodes of The Inspectors, S.W.A.T., and even Westworld. Not too shabby for a guy who once designed oil rigs, huh?
reference nGuy gets his mechanical engineering degree from UT Austin, which, honestly, is no joke. Austin’s weird, the campus is huge, and there’s always some dude in a crazy hat riding a unicycle past the library. So, imagine juggling thermodynamics, design projects, and maybe the occasional existential crisis while the city’s blasting live music outside your window. Four years of caffeine-fueled nights, endless group chats about MATLAB errors, and somehow surviving finals where you question every life choice that led you there. End result? He walks out with a B.S., probably a little sleep-deprived, and definitely armed with way too many stories about late-night Whataburger runs and professors who grade like they’re allergic to A’s. If you ever meet a UT Austin MechE grad, just know they’ve seen things—and they can probably fix your AC.
