Selwyn College is pleased to announce that its former student Tom Hollander has been elected as an Honorary Fellow by the Governing Body. Tom, who came to the College to read English in 1985, has had a distinguished acting career. This year he was named the Royal Television Society Best Actor for his portrayal of Dylan Thomas in ‘A Poet In New York’; and he won considerable acclaim for the BBC comedy series ‘Rev’ which he co-created. His film roles run from the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ series through ‘In The Loop’ and ‘Gosford Park’ – and he has also starred on the stage and on radio. He will soon appear on BBC Television in ‘The Night Manager’, written by John Le Carré and co-starring another Selwyn alumnus, Hugh Laurie. Tom Hollander regularly returns to Cambridge, and he was one of the speakers at the 2015 Selwyn English Society dinner. We offer him many congratulations on his Honorary Fellowship.
