Jon Voight: What Are The Cast of Holes Doing Now?
The Disney film Holes catapulted certain actors to the mainstream, including Shia LaBeouf, who played the main character Stanley Yelnats in the film.
But aside from the relatively young cast of teens in the film, it was also a showcase of some already-established actors such as Sigourney Weaver.
Jon Voight is another of those prominent actors who took a role in Holes – but what is he doing now? Well, since Holes, Jon Voight has continued his star-studded career, starring in blockbuster Hollywood films and receiving many awards.
Let’s find out what the cast of Holes has got up to since the film…
Who Did Jon Voight Play in Holes?
Jon Voight appeared in Holes as Marion “Mr Sir” Sevillo, assistant warden at Camp Green Lake, the juvenile detention facility that Stanley is sent to.
The character is recognisable for his constant chewing of sunflower seeds and general uncouth nature.
Jon Voight himself had a very wide-ranging acting career up until this point, playing everything from gigolos to Vietnam war veterans.

Kevin Jamal Woods: Where Is the Actor Now?
His career really took off when he starred in Midnight Cowboy in 1969. In the film, Jon Voight played a hustler who found himself in New York. The film was a huge hit and ended up becoming the only X-rated film to win the Best Film category at the Oscars.
In the 1970s, Jon Voight continued his star run with major films like Deliverance and Coming Home. After a brief respite from acting, he returned in the 1990s with roles in major franchises like Mission Impossible plus dramas like The Rainmaker and Enemy of the State.
Speaking about his starring role in what is primarily a children’s drama-comedy film, Jon Voight said: “The courage to do the right thing is part of the theme of the picture.
And part of the right thing for me to do was to be ridiculous as he is and not be afraid to be out there and that goofy, o be brave enough to go into areas that make myself look quite unattractive.”
What is Jon Voight Doing Now?
Holes kicked off a very busy period in the early 00s for Jon Voight, who followed up his appearance in the children’s film with other popular entertainment films like National Treasure and Transformers.
These films are a bit of a change for an actor who found his feet in controversial X-rated dramas!
Now 83 years old, Jon Voight still hasn’t tired of the big screen.

Angelina Jolie Net Worth: How Much Money Does The Actress Have?
In 2016, he played Henry Shaw Sr. in the first film in the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them series. But his most recent film role was in 2020 when he played real-life American lawyer Warren E. Burger in Roe v. Wade.
He is currently filming Reagan, a biographical drama about American President Ronald Reagan.
An additional fun fact for any fans of Jon Voight is that he has a very famous daughter. In 1971, he married fellow actor Marcheline Bertrand, and they had two children: James Haven and Angelina Jolie Voight.
Yes, that’s right – Jon Voight is Angelina Jolie’s dad!
However, the two have a pretty contentious relationship, with Angelina having even gone to court to remove her last name, Voight. However, they have apparently reconciled after the death of Angelina’s mother Marcheline.
The Cast of Holes Today
But what about the rest of the cast of Holes?
Well, perhaps the most famous cast member today is Shia LaBeouf. He went on to star in major movies like Transformers (along with Jon Voight) and has directed and starred in his first feature film, Honey Boy.
However, Shia LaBeouf isn’t without his controversy. In December 2020, his ex-girlfriend FKA twigs sued him for sexual battery, assault, and emotional distress.
Since then, Shia has taken a step out of the spotlight and entered a rehabilitation facility.

I love that I can embrace the fact that the name Zero will be tied to my name for the rest of my life.”
