Hollister is a captain for the Department of Scientific Intelligence in Longmont, Virginia.

During the events of Firestarter (1984) played by Martin Sheen

Hollister greets Elaine and Josie and Josie tells him, Orville Jamieson said there is no word on Andrew McGee and Charlie McGee. She then tells him that John Rainbird is in his office. Hollister asks how Rainbird's trip to Venice went and Dr. Joseph Wanless walks into the room. Dr. Wanless tells Hollister he wants Andrew and Charlie killed due to the threat they pose. He explains how Lot 6 works and worries how strong her powers will be when Charlie hits puberty. Hollister suggests doing more experiments and Dr. Wanless threatens to expose The Shop. Later, Old Lady calls Hollister and tells him that Andrew went to the post office and Hollister tells Rainbird. Rainbird then tells Hollister he wants to personally kill Charlie. After she and Andrew are captured, Hollister brings coco to Charlie and she demands to know where Andrew is. Hollister tells her they want to study her powers.

Hollister and Dr. Pynchot test Andrew's abilities and send in Albright to speak with Andrew. Andrew tells Albright to put ink in his water and tries to make him drink it, but fails. Charlie agrees to the tests and Dr. Pynchot has her set wood on fire as the first test. The DSI Technicians notice the intense waves as she conducts the test and how quickly she is able to make the temperature rise. After she passes the test, a DSI technician that was in the room with her runs out and leaves the door open. Dr. Pynchot worries that Andrew and Charlie might see each other again and that Andrew will have Charlie kill them all. Hollister brings Andrew his pills and tells Andrew, he will be sent to Maui soon. Hollister continues to test Charlie's abilities and she passes all of the tests and during the tests the DSI Technicians continue to be amazed of her powers to heat the area. After the test, Charlie demands to see Andrew.

Dr. Pynchot wants to do more tests, but Hollister and Rainbird think they have tested her enough. On a walk, Hollister tells Andrew he is leaving for Maui that day and Andrew uses his mind power to force Hollister to make sure Charlie is with him when he leaves. Andrew writes a note to Charlie telling her they are going to escape soon and has Hollister give it to her. As they are going to the stables, Hollister tells Andrew how Rainbird convinced Charlie to do the experiments. Andrew and Hollister walk into the barn and Charlie runs to Andrew and they hug. Charlie tells Andrew that Rainbird is there and Andrew tells her the truth about Rainbird. Andrew tells Hollister to kill Rainbird and Rainbird shoots Hollister in the head.
