In 2015 Hollington had the lead role of young Leo Colston in the BBC television production of The Go-Between and acted in an impressive cast including Jim Broadbent and Vanessa Redgrave.[1] His performance in The Go- Between was considered by Jasper Rees in The Daily Telegraph to be:" a superbly intuitive performance from a young actor bearing a heavy burden. Hollington held his ground throughout"..."In key scenes he sang like Ernest Lough and took his cricket catch like Ben Stokes." [2] Sam Woolaston, for The Guardian, praised Hollington's performance: " not just for his convincing performance as young Leo, but also for being a totally convincing young Jim Broadbent (old Leo)".[3]
