His mother was a nurse, and his father was a psychiatrist who worked as the superintendent of the West Ham Corporation Mental Hospital and was one of the pioneers of electric shock therapy. He had an older brother, Eric, who died in 1943. Holm was educated at the independent Chigwell School in Essex. His parents retired to Mortehoe, Devon and then Worthing where he joined an amateur dramatic society. A visit to the dentist led to an introduction to Henry Baynton, a well - known provincial Shakespearean actor who helped Holm train for admission to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, where he secured a place in 1949. His studies there were interrupted a year later when he was called up for National Service in the British Army, during which he was posted to Klagenfurt, Austria and attained the rank of Lance Corporal. They were then interrupted a second time when he volunteered to go on an acting tour of the United States in 1952. He finally graduated from RADA in 1953 ; whilst there he had been offered ' spear - carrying ' roles at Stratford and he stayed there for 13 years, soon graduating to more significant roles and abandoning plans to move on after Peter Hall founded the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1960. Career Holm was an established star of the Royal Shakespeare Company before making an impact on television and film. In 1965, he played Richard III in the BBC serialisation of The Wars of The Roses, based on the RSC production of the plays, and gradually made a name for himself with minor roles in films such as Oh ! What a Lovely War ( 1969 ), Nicholas and Alexandra ( 1971 ), Mary, Queen of Scots ( 1971 ) and Young Winston ( 1972 ). In 1967, he won a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play as Lenny in The Homecoming by Harold Pinter. In 1977, Holm appeared in the TV mini-series Jesus of Nazareth as the Sadducee Zerah, and a villainous Moroccan in March or Die. The following year he played J.M. Barrie in the award - winning BBC TV series The Lost Boys, in which his son Barnaby played the young George Llewelyn Davies. In 1981, he played Frodo Baggins in BBC radio adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien 's Lord of the Rings. Holm 's first film role to have a major impact was that of the treacherous android, Ash, in Ridley Scott 's Alien ( 1979 ). His portrayal of Sam Mussabini in Chariots of Fire ( 1981 ), earned him a special award at the Cannes Film Festival and an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Back home in England, he won a BAFTA award, for Best Supporting Actor, for Chariots. In the 1980s, he had memorable roles in Time Bandits ( 1981 ), Greystoke : The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes ( 1984 ) and Terry Gilliam 's Brazil ( 1985 ). He played Lewis Carroll, author of Alice in Wonderland in the Dennis Potter - scripted fantasy Dreamchild ( 1985 ). In 1989, Holm was nominated for a BAFTA award for the TV series Game, Set and Match. Based on the novels by Len Deighton, this tells the story of an intelligence officer ( Holm ) who discovers that his own wife is an enemy spy. He continued to perform Shakespeare, and appeared with Kenneth Branagh in Henry V ( 1989 ) and as Polonius to Mel Gibson 's Hamlet ( 1990 ). Holm was reunited with Kenneth Branagh in Mary Shelley 's Frankenstein ( 1994 ), playing the father of Branagh 's Victor Frankenstein. Holm raised his profile in 1997 with two prominent roles, as the stressed but gentle priest Vito Cornelius in The Fifth Element and the tormented plaintiff 's lawyer in The Sweet Hereafter. In 2001 he starred in From Hell as the physician Sir William Withey Gull. The same year he appeared as Bilbo Baggins in the blockbuster film The Lord of the Rings : The Fellowship of the Ring, having previously played Bilbo 's nephew Frodo Baggins in a 1981 BBC Radio adaptation of The Lord of the Rings. He reappeared in the trilogy in The Lord of the Rings : The Return of the King ( 2003 ), for which he shared a SAG award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. He reprised his role as the elder Bilbo Baggins in the movie The Hobbit : An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit : The Battle of the Five Armies. Holm has been nominated for an Emmy Award twice, for a PBS broadcast of a National Theatre production of King Lear, in 1999 ; and for a supporting role in the HBO film The Last of the Blonde Bombshells opposite Judi Dench, in 2001. Holm has provided voice - overs for many British TV documentaries and commercials. Holm has appeared in two David Cronenberg films : Naked Lunch ( 1991 ) and eXistenZ ( 1999 ). He was Harold Pinter 's favourite actor, the playwright once stating : `` He puts on my shoe, and it fits ! '' Holm played Lenny in the first performance of Pinter 's masterpiece The Homecoming. He has played Napoleon Bonaparte three times : first, in the 1972 television series Napoleon and Love ; next, in a cameo comic rendition, in Terry Gilliam 's Time Bandits from 1981 ; third, in 2001 he played the fallen and exiled leader in the fanciful film The Emperor 's New Clothes. Personal Life Holm has been married four times. His first three marriages ended in divorce. In 1991, he married his third wife, actress Penelope Wilton, in Wiltshire. They appeared together in The Borrowers ( 1993 ) on British television. They divorced in 2001. He is currently married to artist Sophie de Stempel, a protégée and life model of Lucian Freud. Holm has five children ; three daughters ( Jessica, Sarah - Jane and Melissa ) and two sons ( Barnaby and Henry ) from three women, including the first two of his four wives. He was treated for prostate cancer in 2001.
