His mother, Susan, a social worker, took him to a production of Peter Pa at the Schenectady Light Opera. For a5-year-old, Peter Pan is the most magical story,” said Holmes, “It’s when theater really bit me.” He started taking acting lessons at age 6 and was determined to play Luke Skywalker when he saw Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977). He went to The Albany Academy, and during his senior year, he attended an intern program at the New York State Theatre Institute.
Holmes really found his stride at the University of Albany, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in theater in 2001. About his theater major, he said: “I thought I knew everything about theater, but in hindsight, SUNY was really beneficial because I learned a lot about life. I was more equipped to handle the stresses of life as an actor.”
In 2011, he was honored by his alma mater, the University at Albany, which recognizes successful grads through its Reaching Higher, Achieving More campaign. “The college student work ethic was really such a great foundation for the work ethic it takes in Hollywood,” Holmes said in his recognition speech.
One professor, in particular, Leigh Strimbeck, pushed Holmes to try his hand at theater professionally. Her encouragement helped him land his first gig before he even graduated. It was the lead role of Mark Cohen in Jonathan Larson’s musical Rent of the Collins Tour company from 2002 to 2005.
Holmes made his debut on television with a recurring role in the daytime soap opera One Life to Live from 2002 to 2003. In 2003, he appeared the role of Zach Alder in the direct-to-video horror outing Raising Hell.
The genial, square-jawed actor graduated to fame at the hands of David Cronenberg in his A History of Violence (2005). He played the role of Jack Stall, the son of an Indiana restaurateur, who repeats his father’s pattern of violence. The film had multiple Oscar nominations and was screened in Cannes and the Toronto Film Festival. This paved the path for the future roles of Holmes in the film world.

In 2013, Holmes was cast as Wyatt Bickford in the ABC TV drama Reckless. Reckless follows staid engineer David Ritter, whose wife, Sarah, goes missing during a military coup in East Myanmar. He casts off his generally careful demeanor and risks everything to get her back, including embezzling money from his powerful father-in-law’s company to hire a mercenary. The role of Holmes, Wyatt Bickford, is described as confident (bordering on arrogant), charming and entitled.
In the next few years, he did not land any major roles, but appeared in several TV films, shorts and series, such as Criminal Minds, Only Human, Motive, and Stitchers. In 2017 landed the role of Garret in the TV series Being Mary Jane that follows the life of a black American TV host.

Holmes was also involved with the Albany music scene, as the lead singer for the local band Method of Groove. During this time, Holmes befriended the New York band Coheed and Cambria. According to the documentary featured on their box set Neverender: Children of The Fence Edition, it was Holmes that took their demo into Equal Vision Records, and earned them their first record deal for their first album, The Second Stage Turbine Blade.
Neverender was a four-night concert series that took place in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and London. It consisted of one of the band’s four studio albums played in full each night, telling the story in a sequence of the concept of The Amory Wars.
