"I love to laugh and play and have fun. Do I have some of that bad boy in me? Hell, yeah. There's definitely an intense anger that I have inside, and I don't know where it came from. I've had it all my life. My mom was always like, 'You're going to end up in jail with that temper!' Now I use that to help me." --- Josh Holloway

Nevertheless, he found time to star in the thriller Whisper and he also ventured into the world of video games in Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. In the game, he plays the role of a Brotherhood of Nod intelligence officer named Ajay whose primary role is to assist players by supplying information that is crucial to upcoming battles.

Holloway is currently starring as bad-boy Sawyer on ABC hit drama Lost. In the summer of 2008, Holloway joined the cast of Stay Cool, a comedy by the Polish Brothers. He costars with Wynona Ryder, Chevy Chase, Sean Astin, Mark Polish, Jon Cryer and Hilary Duff. Stay Cool's release date is set for 2009.
