Born in New York City into a theatrical family, his mother was a legendary cabaret dancer and his father was a Tony award-winning actor/producer. Holt McCallany began school in Dublin, Ireland, at the age of five before his parents moved back to New York. At fourteen years old, he ran away from home and took a Greyhound bus to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of becoming an actor, but his parents tracked him down and sent him back to Ireland to boarding school.
Following high school, McCallany went to France to continue his education. He learned French at the Sorbonne, studied art history at the Paris American Academy, and theater at L'Ecole Marceau and L'Ecole Jacques Lecoq. He spent a summer studying Shakespeare in Oxford and then moved to New York City to begin his acting career.
He is one of Hollywood's busiest actors. He appeared in "Sully" with Tom Hanks for Director Clint Eastwood, and in "Shot Caller" for Director Roman Waugh as well as Paramount's tentpole franchise, "Monster Trucks," among others. In 2015 he was seen in "Blackhat," "Run All Night" and "The Perfect Guy," and was President of the Jury at the International Film Festival in Brussels, Belgium.
