Brian Van Holt (born July 6 1969) is an American actor and advertising model.

Van Holt was born in Waukegan, Illinois and lives in Huntington Beach, California and has a degree in Sociology from UCLA. At 18 years of age, Brian struck the perfect image of a Huntington Beach, California surfer. Discovered first by producer Stephen Douglas ("Redhead Encyclopedia", "Matt Sorum") in front of a GAP store in a strip mall, Douglas invited him to participate in a sportswear modeling contest he was promoting. Van Holt won the contest, beating over 200 other participants and Douglas signed him to the Jack Rose Agency in Hollywood.

Van Holt did a few print ads and commercials as a model over the next seven years, but then began to be cast in several movies and TV series beginning with "A Very Brady Sequel" in 1996 followed by episodes in "LA Johns", "Beverly Hills 90210", "Spin City", "", "Martial Law", and "Sex and the City". He then hit his stride in a string of martial-themed, A-list films beginning with "Black Hawk Down" and "Windtalkers", interspersed with "Confidence", and continuing with "Basic" and "S.W.A.T.".

He has since appeared in "Man of the House", "House of Wax", and the short-lived CBS TV series "Threshold". Brian revisited his surfer roots when he was cast in David Milch's HBO series "John from Cincinnati" as Butchie Yost, son of surfing legend Mitch Yost.
