Josh Lee Holloway (born July 20, 1969) is an American actor, model and producer, best known for his roles as
Intelligence. He currently stars as Will Bowman on the science fiction drama Colony
.
Early life
Holloway was born in San Jose, California, the second of four boys of a nurse mother and a surveyor father.[2] His family moved to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia when he was two. He was raised in Free Home, Georgia. Holloway is related to Baptist preacher Dr. Dale Holloway and author and World War II prisoner-of-war Carl Holloway.[3] He is also a descendant of Robert E. Lee.[1] Holloway attended Cherokee High School in Canton, Georgia, graduating in 1987. He developed an interest in movies at a very young age. He studied at the University of Georgia but left after one quarter due to financial constraints.[4]
Career
Holloway moved to Los Angeles, where he began a successful career as a runway and print model, including for brands
Cryin'" as a thief who tries to steal Alicia Silverstone's purse from a diner, only to be caught and beaten up by her.[1]
Holloway's ambition eventually led him to start acting. His first role was as "Good Looking Guy" in an episode of US Weekly.[8]
In March 2007, Holloway was selected as the new face for Davidoff's "Cool Water" fragrance worldwide.[9] In Spring 2008, Holloway was selected as the first male spokesperson for Magnum Ice Cream of Turkey. Previous Magnum spokespersons include Eva Longoria and Elizabeth Hurley. In the same year he made the top ten list of TV Guide's Sexiest Stars.[10]
Holloway appeared in the 2009 film cybercrime agent who can 'access the entire electromagnetic spectrum' with his mind.
In 2016, Holloway began starring in Colony as Will Bowman, a former FBI agent who — in a bid to protect his family — is forced to collaborate with the occupational government to bring down the growing resistance movement inside the L.A. colony in the near future. Colony marks a Lost reunion for Cuse and Josh Holloway.[12][13]
Personal life
At the end of shooting the Lost pilot in Oahu, Hawaii, Holloway proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Yessica Kumala, a native of Indonesia of Chinese descent.[1][14] The couple married on October 1, 2004. They have two children: daughter Java Kumala (born 2009)[15] and son Hunter Lee (born 2014).[16]
On a Channel 4 trailer that aired in the UK, Holloway stated "I do enjoy my beer," and opined that the greatest invention of all time was "distilled alcohol," while his Lost colleagues selected "pen and paper," "the wheel," and "the guitar."[17]
