The childhood of the future actor passed in the company of brothers, there were no other children in the neighborhood.

From an early age, the boy began to think about a career as a film actor, but the financial situation of the family did not allow him to attend theater courses. During the holidays, in order to somehow earn money, Josh moonlighted on local poultry farms by collecting dead chickens. In his youth, he worked in a restaurant and at a construction site.

At the age of 14, at the insistence of his mother, Joshua began to play sports. Very soon he managed to become the star of the school basketball team. In 1987, Holloway graduated from high school and entered the University of Georgia, where he studied for only a year.

By the age of 26, Holloway realized that his modeling career was coming to an end - infantile youths were increasingly called for filming, and demand for his brutal image was decreasing (Josh's height is 187 cm, and his weight is 80 kg). Fragile youths came into fashion, there was a demand for androgyny.

So Josh left his modeling career, after which, after returning to the south, he bought a big house. After a while, the village life seemed boring to him, and Josh decided to try his hand at cinema.

Josh's cinematic career began more difficult than his modeling career. Josh Holloway left his new home to his parents and went to Los Angeles to become an actor. He started taking acting classes, but Hollywood was in no rush to accept him.

From 1999 to 2004, the actor managed to star in several films and TV series, among them "Dr. Benny", "Frozen Heart", "Cool Walker: Texas Justice", "Good Girls Don't Cry", "Angel". These roles did not add either money or popularity to him. The funds set aside by the actor during his modeling career were coming to an end, he understood that it was time to find himself a normal job. Josh Holloway has already decided to become a realtor, but in the end he went to the casting of the series "Lost".

Many actors auditioned for the role of Sawyer in this television series, including Matthew Fox, Dominic Monaghan, Jorge Garcia, the last one to audition was Josh. Reading a monologue, for greater effect, he broke a chair than won the directors and immediately got a role that made him famous.

Since deciding to become an actor, Holloway has struggled with his southern accent, but the producers of Lost have told him to speak as he is, emphasizing his pronunciation, as it would add flavor to Southerner Sawyer. In the film, Josh made no secret of the fact that he was left-handed: he used his left hand to hunt a bear. Interestingly, the actor himself prefers short haircuts, while to participate in the project he had to grow his hair.

Josh's partner on the set was Evangeline Lilly, with whose heroine Sawyer developed an affair. Already married at that time, Holloway tirelessly answered the constant questions of journalists about how his wife reacted to Josh's on-screen novel. Later, Juliet Burke played by Elizabeth Mitchell acted as the new lover of the hero.

The attractive actor has never lacked female attention. In his youth, all his relationships with girls were short-lived. At the beginning of his acting career, Josh was in no hurry to improve his personal life. He believed that a real man was obliged to provide for his wife, but he himself did not have such an opportunity at that time.

While working in the modeling business, Holloway met the Indonesian Yessica Kumala. Some time after they met, the young people began an affair that did not last long.
