From a June 2015 recording. The late Antony Holland (March 28, 1920 - July 29, 2015) -- beloved actor, teacher, long-time Gabriolan, Order of Canada recipient -- recalls his time in Egypt during the Second World War.

Antony Holland has lived a good life, not just as an actor but a good person as well. It's very evident on his portfolio that he was given good projects where he can show his greatness in acting. I feel bad because I haven't seen any work from him. But that's definitely a chance that I would love to have! He lived in an era where entertainment are limited and deprived from the public, that's why it was a huge risk for him as an actor to continue with his passion.
