Stone Fox
by John Reynolds Gardiner
Mitch likes Stone Fox because it's full of adventure and it helps him use his imagination.

At age 9, Mitch Holleman has already been acting for four years and has amassed several credits in television and movies.

Born in Auburn, Alabama, Mitch began begging to be on television at the tender age of 2. The family moved to Naples, Florida, and he signed with a Miami-based talent agency. By 4, he had booked two national commercials for Nickelodeon and Burger King. A trip with his mother to New York resulted in numerous commercials and a guest-starring role on The Sopranos.

His big break came at age 5 when he landed a series regular role on Daddio. Since then, he has guest-starred on Everybody Loves Raymond and appeared in the feature film comedies The Animal, starring Rob Schneider, and Bubble Boy. He also periodically serves as an on air reporter for TV Guide Channel.

In addition to acting, Mitch enjoys amusement parks and surfing on his days off. He lives with his family in Los Angeles.

"I love reading because it allows me to choose whatever adventure I want to take because there are so many different kinds of books to choose from." ~ Mitch Holleman

Mitch's mom adds, "I have always made it a priority to read and talk to my children to help them develop their reading and comprehension skills. I think it's wonderful that First Book and Build-A-Bear Workshop are encouraging children to read through Bearemy's Book Club."
