'Mission Impossible': Five J.J. Abrams Regulars We Want Recruited Next

Posted 12/16/11 10:00 am EST by in Casting Call, Commentary


Josh Holloway

Producer J.J. Abrams has established a great tradition within the "Mission: Impossible" franchise: in the last two "M:I" installments, Abrams has called in fan-favorite actors from his television past for brief but awesome roles. First Keri Russell popped into "Mission: Impossible III" in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it death scene, and today's newest movie — "Ghost Protocol" — introduces "Lost" veteran Josh Holloway to the franchise. Exactly what purpose the former James "Sawyer" Ford plays in the new "Mission" remains to be seen, but no matter how big or small his role, we're psyched to have him on board.

With Holloway following Russell's lead, we started wondering which other Abrams vets we'd like to see in future "Mission: Impossible" movies. Our wish list is past the jump!

Josh Holloway Cruises to 'Mission: Impossible 4': What Are Other 'Lost' Alums Up To?

Posted 9/29/10 4:51 pm EST by in Casting Call, News


Josh Holloway"Lost" fans hoping for a Sawyer-Miles buddy-cop spinoff may have to wait awhile because things just got a whole lot more "Impossible" for Josh Holloway.

Holloway, who played badboy-with-a-heart-of-gold Sawyer for six season on "Lost," is in final negotiations to team up with Tom Cruise for "Mission: Impossible 4." In his first post-Island film gig, Holloway will join newbie recruits Paula Patton and Jeremy Renner, as well as returning vets Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames, in enlisting in the Impossible Mission Force headed up by Cruise's Ethan Hunt.

With J.J. Abrams producing and "Incredibles" director Brad Bird at the helm, we couldn't be more enthusiastic about the film's prospects. And Holloway's proven proficiency with both firearms and a sharp one-liner make us confident he'll earn his keep in the cast. In short, we can't wait to see him on the big screen when "M:I-4" hits theaters on December 16, 2011, and we're glad he's found some success in his "Lost" afterlife.

Speaking of which, now that it's been four months since "Lost"'s audience-dividing tearjerker of a finale, what's the rest of the "Lost" cast up to? Hit the jump to find out! Read More...

The 'Lost' Sideways Universe Could Produce Some Great Spinoff TV Shows!

Posted 5/20/10 1:32 pm EST by in Commentary, Humor, Photos, TV


The final season of "Lost" has come under some controversy for the introduction of the flash-sideways narrative device. Whereas previous seasons have flashed backwards and forwards in time, this season switches between the main Island plot and a sideways universe where Oceanic Flight 815 never crashed and landed safely in Los Angeles.

Although the sideways world has proven divisive amongst fans, there's no arguing that it's prompted some serious spinoff potential for when "Lost" ends. After the jump, check out five sideways stories we would love to see continued in their own spinoff television shows! Read More...

LOST: Episode 6.13, 'The Last Recruit'

Posted 4/20/10 11:16 pm EST by in Commentary, Reviews, TV


LostEpisode Title: "The Last Recruit"

Written By: Paul Zbyszewski & Graham Roland

Story: Hurley (Jorge Garcia) has led Jack (Matthew Fox) and friends directly into the lion's den — better known as Smocke's (Terry O'Quinn) camp. The artist occasionally known as The Smoke Monster does his best to woo Jack over to the dark side with surprisingly honest revelations, but his hand is forced when Charles Widmore (Alan Dale) fires the first shots of war.

In the wake of an explosive incident, Smocke sets Sayid (Naveen Andrews) after Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick) while Sawyer (Josh Holloway) hatches a plan of his own to get Kate (Evangline Lily) and the others off of the Island for good. Meanwhile, the players of the Sideways Universe continue to come together, with Jack's hospital seeming to serve as a central location. Read More...

ReconEpisode Title: "Recon"

Written By: Elizabeth Sarnoff & Jim Galasso

Story: When James Ford (Josh Holloway) rejoins the man posing as John Locke (Terry O'Quinn) and his most recent recruits from the Temple, he's asked to travel to Hydra Island in order to do reconnaissance on the remaining survivors of Ajira Flight 316 — but what Sawyer stumbles upon there is something far more resourceful and dangerous than a group of agitated plane crash survivors.

Meanwhile, Kate (Evangeline Lilly) learns that Claire (Emilie de Ravin) is anything but grateful for the former fugitive's three year stint as Aaron's mother. In the sideways universe, Sawyer walks along a different side of the law but his sights remain firmly set on finding the man responsible for his parents' deaths. Read More...

Josh Holloway Wants Sawyer To Go 'Splat' At The End Of 'Lost'

Posted 8/6/09 11:00 am EST by in News, Video


We’ve all got our hopes and dreams, our non-negotiable demands and long-shot prayers for how the final season of “Lost” will shake out, what we’ll eventually learn for certain and what will be left hanging forever: which lovelorn castaways will end up together, where did the Smoke Monster come from and what exactly is the deal with Hurley’s cursed numbers?

Fans aren’t the only ones with specific ideas about how the show should/must/cannot wrap up. The Losties themselves have some thoughts too. That’s what MTV's Rick Marshall learned at San Diego Comic-Con when he chatted with Josh Holloway, who’s played an often shirtless Sawyer since 2004 and who knows exactly how he wants his character arc to conclude.
