Everything We Know About Benjamin Hollingsworth (Who Plays Brady on ‘Virgin River’)

Benjamin Hollingsworth is a Canadian actor best known for his role on the CBS series Code Black as well as his current role as Dan Brady on Netflix’s popular show, Virgin River.

The 38-year-old actor graduated from the National Theatre School of Canada (NTS), a prestigious three-year acting conservatory program in Montréal, in 2006. In 2012, Hollingsworth tied the knot with lingerie designer and Bar Method teacher, Nila Myers. The couple has three children together: Hemingway, Gatsby and Juniper.

“She caught my heart the second she caught my eyes—Juniper Bloom Hollingsworth born Oct 15th 2020 at 12:16 am—Juniper’s big day,” he captioned his announcement on Instagram. “Not a day goes by that I don’t feel grateful for the family I have. Like many new Dads I spent the days leading up to the birth running around trying to gain some sort of control of a uncontrollable situation.”

In season 4, Brady is thrown into jail after getting arrested in the season 3 finale. Although the evidence is stacked against him, he still claims that he’s innocent. Luckily, Brie is starting to believe his story, so she teams up with Mike to investigate the shooting. But that doesn’t stop Brady’s fellow inmates from roughing him up in the meantime.

The season concludes with Brady realizing that he’s in over his head. To top it off, his new boss, Melissa, has high expectations for the town’s drug trade.
