Indie Soap Award Winner Joshua Holland At Olympics As A Trainer

In February 2010 at the 1st Annual Indie Soap Awards, ANYONE BUT ME's brilliant Joshua Holland won in the Best Performance by a Supporting Actor category. But his talent goes far beyond his acting career.

It is his knowledge and work in the world of exercise science, nutrition, sports and training that is taking him to the 2012 Summer Games – that and his association with Technogym.

Holland was selected by the company to be the only United States Technogym trainer to be onsite in the Olympic Village providing training to all of the world’s best athletes.

Beza is known to web series fans for his role as Dr. Patrick Aubert in ASYLUM.

“I am thrilled to be joining the wild west of the late 1800s and the Thurston family,” said Zenk. “Kathryn O’Sullivan’s rich storytelling and Paul Awad’s film making are captivating, intriguing, beautiful, dangerous, and unpredictable. I can’t wait to see how Agnes Snead plays into the lives of the residents of the dusty-near-ghost-town of Thurston, Kansas. And I’m so happy to play, once more, the mother of a very bad son… only this time… x’s 3… 3 x’s the fun, with guns… and a woman scorned. Don’t you worry none boys, your Mama is a’ comin’."
