Olivia Holt

Hailing from Germantown, Tennessee, Olivia Holt is the daughter of Mark and Kim Holt. Her path in the performing arts started remarkably early; she was only three years old when she first began singing and acting on stage. While she’s best known for her screen work, she also spent five years as a competitive gymnast and was an active competitive cheerleader.

Her early years were spent in community theater, where she landed roles in productions like Annie and Through the Looking Glass. These local performances eventually paved the way for her first indie film, Black and Blue. Around that same time, she became a familiar face on TV through national commercials for major brands like Bratz dolls, Hasbro, and Mattel.

Olivia’s career took a major turn in 2011 when she was cast as “Kim Crawford” in the Disney XD series Kickin’ It. Playing the only girl in the dojo, her character was a skilled martial artist who famously held her own against all the boys.

Since that breakout role, her resume has grown to include lead parts in Freeform’s Cruel Summer, as well as Cloak and Dagger,I Didn’t Do It, and The Runaways. She has also found success in the recording booth, voicing characters for the Spider-Man animated series and films like Gnome Alone, Trouble, andTinkerbell and the Legend of the Neverbeast.

Other movie credits for Olivia include The Standoff, Class Rank, and Status Update. Her talents extend to the music industry as well; signed with Hollywood Records, her single "History" reached gold status. Fans also know her for tracks like "16 Steps," "Distance," and the fan-favorite "Had Me @ Hello."
