Holloway is best known for his role as James "Sawyer" Ford in the hit television program, Lost. The show propelled Holloway to celebrity status, but left him with little time to use that fame to snatch up other big roles. According to USA Today, he took himself out of consideration for roles in both a Brad Pitt Western and X-Men 3 due to the demands of his shooting schedule[1]. Despite this, he found the time to star in the upcoming thriller, Whisper, as well as venture into the world of video games: in Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, he plays the role of a Nod soldier named Ajay. In May 2007, 20th Century Fox approached Holloway for a second time and offered him the role of Gambit in X-Men 4. He was the main contender for the same role in 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand but took his name out of the running due to his busy schedule on Lost. Producers scrapped plans to have the character of Gambit in the third X-Men film shortly thereafter. Holloway is widely regarded for his good looks. In 2005, People Magazine named Holloway one of the "50 Most Beautiful People in the World". In January 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. And in March 2007, Holloway was selected to be the new face for Davidoff's "Cool Water" fragrance worldwide. (wikipedia.org)
