Josh Holloway
Birth Name: Joshua Lee Holloway
Date of birth: 20 July 1969
Place of birth: California, USA
When he was just two-years-old, Josh Holloway's family relocated from California to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia (he still considers himself a "Blue Ridge Mountain boy"). It was here that he perfected the lazy southern drawl of his Lost character - shady con man Sawyer.
Yet another ex-model Lost star, he left the University of Georgia after one year to embark on a successful modelling career that took him all over Europe and North America.
His lifelong passion for films eventually brought him to the movie capital of the world, Los Angeles, where he landed a role in the hilarious comedy Doctor Benny, opposite Eddie McClintock and Sarah Wynter.
Josh has also played lead roles in the independent films Mi Amigo, Moving August and Cold Heart, in which he starred opposite Nastassja Kinski, but Lost is his biggest project to date.
After going out of his way to lessen his Southern accent to get a wider variety of work, he had to pick it back up to play the shady "confidence man" Sawyer on the hit show Lost.
While he says it looks "cool", Josh admits to hating the long hair he has to wear as "Sawyer" on Lost, but surely it beats his first ever job - picking up dead chickens on a farm.
Josh married Yessica Kumala on the 1st of October 2004 - they are still currently married.
At around 4:30am on Wednesday, October 13th 2005, he and his wife were robbed at gunpoint in their home in Oahu. The robber took cash and credit cards as well as stealing Holloway's Mercedes-Benz that was later dumped not far from his home in Hawaii Kai, which is about 12 miles east of Honolulu. They were shaken but unharmed. An arrest was later made in the robbery.
Josh enjoys sailing, snowboarding, martial arts, motocross and playing guitar and he has been a movie-buff since the age of 3. His favourite film is The Shining.
He is the second of four brothers.
Josh was chosen by "People" magazine as one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World in 2005.
