Cohen Holloway

Cohen Holloway began singing and doing impersonations at high school. He went on to showcase his John Campbell impression on sketch show Facelift, and bro'Town. After studying acting at Toi Whakaari, Holloway proved he could play serious when he won a Qantas Award for 2009 TV drama Until Proven Innocent. He starred as the falsely-imprisoned David Dougherty. Since then he has played a gang member in Boy, a real estate agent in Māori TV hit Find Me A Māori Bride, and starred as a dodgy cowboy in movie Good for Nothing. In 2019 black comedy Fresh Eggs he was a well-meaning husband caught up in a run of unfortunate deaths.  

...on the set he'd be telling terrible jokes — blue jokes, purple jokes — and then he’d switch like that, and you’d get David [Dougherty] ... it was a massive transition. He wasn’t just putting a face on; he’d switch into this character. Actor Peter Elliott on working with Cohen Holloway on drama Until Proven Innocent, in a 15 September 2009 ScreenTalk interview
