The multifaceted character of Dan Brady has enthralled Virgin River fans, but what do we know about Benjamin Hollingsworth, the man who plays him?
In the most recent episodes of season six, fans watch as Mel Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson) eventually achieve their happily ever after when they are married.
However, Brady’s (Benjamin Hollingsworth) romantic life is still turbulent after he split from Brie Sheridan (Zibby Allen) after she found out about his drug trafficking activities.
In the current outing, many fans are still hoping for her and Brady to reunite, despite her new connection with police officer Mike (Marco Grazzini).
Early Challenges
Hollingsworth, who was born in 1984 in Ontario, always wanted to be an actress. at order to fulfill this desire, he enrolled at and graduated from the National Theatre School of Canada in 2006.
He soon started landing roles, and his first big movie, The Joneses, in which he costarred with Demi Moore and David Duchovny, was the pinnacle of his career.
He was producing Ashton Kutcher’s new series, The Beautiful Life, for The CW. However, after just two episodes were shown, the series was canceled.
Hollingsworth posted on Instagram that they were told, “Midday we had 30 minutes to clear out of our dressing rooms,” as they were filming a scene from episode seven.
“Young, dumb, and now broke, I moved back to LA with my tail between my legs,” he wrote beside a paparazzi-taken selfie he shared the morning he found out his show was cancelled.
“Couch surfing with Stella, my little dog.” I squandered a year of my life focusing on myself, undermining my chances, and pursuing fame rather than my career.
“BUT, this wasn’t the worst morning of my life,” the 40-year-old actor said, refusing to give up.
In retrospect, it ranks among the best things that have ever occurred to me. I discovered something that isn’t taught in drama school. Nothing is due to you or promised, so don’t take anything for granted. Resilience is not inherited; it must be earned.
Well-known ex-girlfriend
The actress Nina Dobrev from The Vampire Diaries was close to the Virgin River star.
The two celebrities, who had previously shared a room, started dating in 2006 and remained together for three years. Hollingsworth’s remarks in a 2021 Pop Culturalist interview imply a cordial breakup even though their romance didn’t last.
He said: “The Vampire Diaries, another CW program at the time, featured my good buddy Nina Dobrev. For eight or nine seasons, that continued.
Seeing where she went was entertaining. Seeing all facets of this industry is fascinating.
Family life
The Brady actor fell in love with lingerie designer and Bar Method instructor Nila Myers in 2010. Two years later, they became engaged, and two months after the proposal, they were married.
Since then, they have welcomed three children: a daughter named Juniper Bloom and two sons, Hemingway Nash and Gatsby Willem.
Hollingsworth extolled his wife’s virtues in an interview with iHeartRadio in 2020, declaring: “She’s amazing.” She remains a hero even after having three children. She is such a blessing to me.
