Holmes

Holmes, born smack dab in the middle of summer, July 29th, 1993, down in Texas—yeah, that Texas, land of barbecue and big dreams. She’s not just another face in the crowd. The woman can act, but she’s also got a pen sharper than most. Her claim to fame? “I Love My Upstairs Neighbor” from 2020. No, it’s not just another rom-com, though if you ask her, she’ll probably roll her eyes at that assumption. People talk about actors who write, but Holmes? She brings this weird energy—like, you can tell she’s seen some stuff, maybe just from living in Texas, maybe from the wild world of indie film. The roles she chooses, they aren’t cookie-cutter. She digs into the messiness of people, the awkward pauses, the way we say the wrong thing at the exact wrong time. That’s her vibe. Her writing’s got this bite, a little sass, never trying to be everyone’s cup of tea. Some critics eat it up, others just don’t get it. Guess that means she’s doing something right. Not a ton of people know her yet, but those who do? They keep an eye out for what she’s cooking up next. She’s one of those artists who could blow up at any second, or maybe she’ll keep doing her own thing—hard to say. Either way, if you’re tired of predictable, you might wanna look her up.
