It’s been 20 years since Disney’s comedy drama Holes was released. The movie’s plot follows a teenager named Stanley Yelnats (played by Shia LaBeouf), who is wrongfully accused of stealing sneakers and sent to a juvenile detention camp in the Texas desert. At the camp, Stanley and the other boys are forced to dig actual holes in the ground every day as part of a supposed character-building exercise.
Many people have forgotten about this movie, but now is a great time to reminisce as we look at how the cast has changed over two decades.
1. Khleo Thomas as Hector Zeroni
Since his breakout role in Holes, Khleo Thomas has been busy starring in various TV shows and movies. He played a supporting role in the critically acclaimed film Roll Bounce and appeared in the indie drama Remember the Daze. Thomas also had a recurring role on the TV series Sons of Anarchy. Thomas has not been nominated for any Oscars, but he did win the Best Actor award at the American Black Film Festival for the movie The Company We Keep. His most recent appearance was in the 2022 movie Scrap, but the actor regularly uploads videos about games and music to his YouTube channel Slick Living.
2. Sigourney Weaver as Warden Walker
Since her role as Warden Walker, Sigourney Weaver has continued to be a prolific and acclaimed actress, appearing in numerous film and television projects, including Avatar, The Cabin in the Woods, and Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Weaver has received three Academy Award nominations for her performances in Aliens, Working Girl, and Gorillas in the Mist and has won numerous other awards throughout the actress’s career, including a BAFTA Award, as well as a couple of Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Awards. In addition to her acting work, Weaver has also been active in environmental and social causes.
3. Henry Winkler as Stanley’s father
Since his appearance as Stanley’s dad, Henry Winkler has had recurring roles on popular TV shows such as Arrested Development, Parks and Recreation, and Barry, for which he won a Primetime Emmy Award for a Supporting Role in a Comedy Series in 2018. Winkler has also continued to work as a producer, director, and author. In fact, he’s written a successful series of children’s books called Hank Zipzer that are based on his own experiences growing up with dyslexia. Despite his success in the entertainment industry, Winkler is also known for his philanthropy and advocacy work, particularly on behalf of children and people with learning challenges.
