Hollands memory is completely erased at the top of the trailer forThe Actor, where we get our first glimpse of his character Paul Edwin Cole as doctors ask him what he knows about himself aside from the name found inside his wallet.
At a complete loss for personal information, Paul is just as confused as the medical team watching over him, but is still released back into the dangerous world even with these big chunks missing.
