Looking back actress Jennifer Holland does not know what it was that drew her to become an actor. She grew up as a competitive gymnast and believes that is how she discovered her love of performing. She partook in theater throughout middle and high school, joining the drama and film clubs to further explore her love of bringing characters to life. And by the time she was 16, she decided to go to Los Angeles to pursue a professional career. She has not looked back ever since.
The other thing that brought her to LA was also the fact that she could not wait to get out of the life that she was in.
Jennifer has worked on several projects over the years. But lately, it’s her work in the DC real that she is excited about. In 2021, she appeared in the superhero film The Suicide Squad as Emilia Harcourt. A year later and she gets to reprise her role as the lead character in her boyfriend James Gunn’s Peacemaker series on HBO Max.

Initially, she was going to play “Comms Tech 2” in The Suicide Squad. But when that role remained a supporting character she eventually was given a name linking her to the comics, Emilia Harcourt.
For her, Emilia was just a dream character to play as, in her words, she is just such a well-rounded character, not larger than life in the way that some characters can be on TV and in movies but also very flawed with a lot of different layers.
