- Videotaped the March 3 1991 beating of Rodney King by Los Angeles police officers.
- The original tape of the beating was confiscated by law enforcement while the attack was being investigated, and he tried unsuccessfully to get it back. The FBI did eventually return his Sony Handycam.
- His grandfather was a policeman in London, England.
- Works as a freelance plumber in Los Angeles.
- His father was a British executive with Shell oil and had to move frequently for work. Holliday was born in Canada, lived in Indonesia, and spent most of his childhood in Argentina before moving to Los Angeles.
- I was thinking, 'What did the guy do to deserve this beating?' I came from a different culture, where people would get disappeared with no due process. Police would pick people up on suspicion. I didn't expect this in the U.S.
- I filmed this tape that makes the police look bad. But every time a policeman has recognized me, they tell me I did the right thing.
- I don't watch the news or read the papers anymore.
