Modelling was what got Josh Holloway first noticed. He wanted bigger things though, and headed for television in Los Angeles.

Following appearances on shows like CSI, he managed to attract more attention with the sci-fi film Sabretooth. Holloway also has a bit of a reputation on the independent cinema circuit, thanks to his roles in films like Mi Amigo, and Cold Heart, where he starred with Nastassja Kinski.

The man is also a self-confessed adrenaline junkie. He tries all kinds of extreme sports, including skydiving and motocross. He also continues to be a model, represented by New York Model Management, and has just signed up for his first big screen role in a thriller called Whisper.
