Biography |
Josh Holloway (born July 20, 1969) is an American actor.
Holloway was born in San Jose, California but moved to the
Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia at the age of 2. He is the
second oldest of four boys. He developed an interest for
movies at a very young age. He studied at the University of
Georgia but quit after only one year to become a successful
model, which took him all over Europe and North America.
Josh's ambition for acting took him to Los Angeles, where he
got a role in the comedy Doctor Benny. He followed that up
with lead roles in the movies Mi Amigo, Moving August, and
Cold Heart. After those roles, he gained notice for his lead
role in the Sci-Fi Channel movie Sabretooth with David Keith
and John Rhys-Davies. Holloway was also a guest star on CSI
and NCIS. He struggled for eight years before his big break
on the hit tv show "Lost".
Currently, he has a leading role in the Emmy award-winning
ABC show Lost, where he plays the role of James "Sawyer"
Ford, which has given him a Hollywood heart-throb status.
Josh's hobbies include boating, sailing, snowboarding,
martial arts, motorcross, and playing guitar.
On the morning of October 12, 2005, he and his wife Yessica
were robbed at gunpoint in their home. The couple was asleep
when the gunman awoke them and took cash and credit cards
before driving off in Holloway's Mercedes-Benz, which was
found abandoned a short time later. There was no evidence
that the criminals knew whom they were robbing, or had
targeted them because Holloway was a celebrity.
In January of 2006, In Touch Weekly named Holloway the
"hottest hunk" on television. In the same month, Holloway
was voted the 17th sexiest guy worldwide by British readers
of OK! magazine. |
