Josh Holloway

Josh Holloway left college to explore a career in modeling, a job that took him across the United States and Europe, but he eventually shifted his attention to acting. His debut as "Good Looking Guy" on the series premiere of "Angel" preceded a steady string of supporting roles until he secured his feature debut in 2001's "Cold Heart." He followed with the comedy "Dr. Benny" and appearances on the hit procedurals "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" and "NCIS."

Frustrated by the lack of solid roles, Holloway received his realtor license to provide himself with a backup career option. In 2004, Holloway's luck changed when he was cast on "Lost," though he nearly failed to land the part. Holloway's blend of roguish charm and wounded pride made him a favorite with viewers, especially women. Along with his castmates, the now recognizable actor received a Screen Actors Guild Award in 2006 for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. Holloway's success on "Lost" did not immediately translate into stardom with other vehicles. The show's demanding schedule and Hawaii locations prevented him from taking several high profile projects, including a Western with Brad Pitt and the role of Gambit in "X-Men: The Last Stand."

In 2007, he was chosen as the model for the men's fragrance Davidoff Coolwater. In 2008, Holloway joined the cast of the indie comedy "Stay Cool," as one of two deadbeat friends of a successful author who returns to his hometown to deliver a commencement address at his old high school. In 2010, "Lost" came to an end, giving Holloway more time to pursue other projects. Following a 2011 episode of "Community," Holloway was called up to the big leagues to briefly play an IMF agent killed by a French assassin in the blockbuster hit "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol." From there, he starred in the indie 3-D musical "Battle of the Year: The Dream Team" and was an FBI agent opposite Gary Oldman in the action thriller "Paranoia."

Back on the small screen, Holloway made news when he was cast in the upcoming pilot "Intelligence," where he played an intelligence officer implanted with a microchip that allows him to access the entire electromagnetic spectrum.
