HIS STORY
Josh was a professional and successful model for several years until his love for acting lead him to Los Angeles where he landed a role in the comedy Doctor Benny. He followed up with lead roles in the movies Mi amigo, Moving August and Cold Heart. Following these roles, he gained recognition for his lead role in the Sci-Fi Channel movie Sabretooth. He also made appearances in Good Girls Don't, NCIS, The Lyon's Den, Walker, Texas Ranger, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Angel. Josh also appeared in the Aerosmith video for the song "Cryin'" and Billie Myers' 1998 music video "Tell Me".

But Josh's big break came in the role of James "Sawyer" Ford in the critically acclaimed series Lost that catapulted him to celebrity status. It was in this audition where Josh flubbed a line, and in his frustation, he threw a chair against the wall. J.J. Abrams liked that intensity and hired him immediately. During hiatuses from the show, Josh has taken up several projects. He starred in the independent thriller Whisper and comedy Stay Cool which recently debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival. Josh also ventured into the world of video games in Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. In addition, he became the face of Davidoff's "Cool Water" for Men fragrance worldwide and was selected as the first male spokesperson for Magnum Ice Cream of Turkey.

JOSH QUOTES

"right when i stuck my foot in my mouth and said something stupid i got tapped on my shoulder and there behind me was this beautiful little package with a martini in her hand," he remembers. "she looked me up and down and said: 'give me your number before you leave.'"
"if i were single, i'd have one girl doing my laundry, one shaving me, one bringing me a cocktail and another one coming out of my tent all hungover."
"in order to break through the movie thing, you've got to burn through that atmosphere and it's hard. you've got to work all year at this pace that lost is; it's a fierce pace and you're constantly doing something."
"i’m looking to do a really different role next, more of a character who maybe even keeps his shirt on most of the time."
"i'm a romantic. i can't help it. love is huge to me. i've found that, and it's awesome."
"sometimes, i like to come out by myself, turn the boat off and just chill. how big lost has gotten, it freaks me out sometimes. i gotta get away."
"i get to actually experience what it would be like to be a psycho, which is not a fun one, or to be a cowboy, or to be a weird character of some sort. for me, it suits me. it suits my personality. i'm an emotional kind of person anyway."
"we have changed our minds… only recently. basically, nature happened. if you're in a loving relationship with someone, having children becomes a part of it."
"i wanted to do everything. i wanted to be a pilot. i wanted to be a secret agent. i wanted to be a fireman and a doctor, all that. so i related that through movies and stuff."
"being southern and being the guy i've been all my life, i've lived more on the lighter side of life. i have a dark side, but that's not where i come from. a lot of artists like to come from that."

"Josh Holloway is just.. he's just shining. I think that, of the people I started working
with, he's one of the people i'm most impressed with. How he's grown and learned and he's
been just stunning everyone with his performances."
