Ian Holm is a British actor born Ian Holm Cuthbert in Essex, England on September 12th, 1931. His first major role in a science fiction film was as the treacherous android Ash in Ridley Scott's 1979 horror classic Alien.

A decade later, Holm took up the role of literary figure Alphonse Frankenstein, father of Victor Frankenstein in Kenneth Branagh's 1994 adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein. He followed this role with playing Father Vito Cornelius in The Fifth Element. Outside of the science fiction genre, Holm is best known to modern audiences as Bilbo Baggins, a central figure in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy.
