Is Zendaya your counterpoint? Look what she did with Malcolm & Marie. If your vantage is just motion pictures not based on existing IP, then we can put aside Euphoria and Dune, but I see no reason to dismiss television out of hand in terms of a star’s options. In todays landscape there’s just as much budget and prestige on the small screen if you’re an actor looking for compelling stories to tell.

I think Holland’s problem is that he doesn’t have an agent helping guide him to the right roles, and for whatever reason he hasn’t taken advantage of chances to make his own smaller, indie stuff. Or jump into a really compelling TV series.

Thankfully, he is a star with plenty of time to make some course corrections, but didn’t he say in an interview he wants to step back for a few years and maybe get married.
