Jeffrey Holland, born Jeffrey Michael Parkes, (17 July 1946), is a British actor best known for playing Spike Dixon in Hi-de-Hi!.
His first TV appearance was in an episode of Crossroads in 1974, although his first speaking role was in an episode of Dixon of Dock Green later that same year. As The '70s continued, Holland made several guest appearances in David Croft sitcoms such as It Ain't Half Hot, Mum, Are You Being Served?, and Dad's Army.
This led to Croft casting him as holiday camp comedian Spike Dixon in Hi-de-Hi!. After the series finale, he and his castmates Paul Shane and Su Pollard went on to star in You Rang, M'Lord? and Oh, Doctor Beeching!.
In 2021, he and his wife Judy Buxton starred in a Pilot for a Britcom called Simply Ken, which didn't lead to a series and has never been shown publically.
