About Josh Holloway

For half a decade, Josh Holloway appeared in TV guest spots and roles in movies most people have never heard of. But in 2004 that all changed when he caught Hollywood by storm with his unassuming style and southern charm, announcing his arrival on CTV's "Lost" as James "Sawyer" Ford.

Holloway was born in California, but his family moved to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia when he was only two. He and his three brothers grew up in rural Georgia, which contributed greatly to his deep love for nature.

He studied at the University of Georgia but left after only a year for New York City to become a male fashion model, which took him all over North America and Europe. He soon realized that his calling was to the performing arts. He eventually moved to Los Angeles and landed a number of guest starring roles in TV and supporting roles in films.

In 2005 People magazine named Holloway one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World. In the summer of 2006, he appeared along with co-star Evangeline Lilly in a non-profit self-defense project, "Just Yell Fire," intended to teach teenage girls techniques to defend themselves against abductors and rapists.

Holloway is currently the worldwide face of Davidoff Cool Water fragrance. He recently appeared in the feature film "Stay Cool," for acclaimed directors Mark & Mike Polish.

Holloway is a born adrenaline junkie, longing for the thrill of extreme sports like snowboarding and dirt biking. He is also known to tone it down on occasion by boating, sports fishing and playing guitar. He currently resides in Hawaii with his wife and daughter.
