Ellis Hollins – Tom Cunningham from Hollyoaks

The 21-year-old Ellis Hollins was cast to play the role of Tom Cunningham when he was just a three-year-old child. It was a daring bet, but one that proved right: a talented and charismatic performer, Hollins has been perfect in the soap and has quickly become one of Hollyoaks’ most promising stars.

Hollyoaks fans love Tom Cunningham so much that the character was even given his own mini-series in 2014, titled Tom’s Life. Over the years, Hollins has won five British and Inside Soap Awards for Best Young Actor and was voted Soap’s Greatest Child in 2009.
