Josh Holloway joins cast USA Networks <i>Colony</i>

I’m sure this will shock fans of the show Lost but I had never heard of Josh Holloway until he starred in the CBS show Intelligence. I enjoyed Holloway’s performance on the short lived series and am excited to see him as the lead on Colony.

In a press release:

JOSH HOLLOWAY JOINS CAST AS THE LEAD OF CARLTON CUSE PILOT ‘COLONY’ FOR USA NETWORK

Project From Legendary Television and Universal Cable Productions Marks The First Time Holloway and Cuse are reunited Since ‘Lost’

UNIVERSAL CITY, CA – September 26, 2014 – Josh Holloway (“Lost,” “Intelligence”) joins the pilot COLONY for USA Network. A co-production between Legendary Television and Universal Cable Productions,COLONY was written and is executive produced by Carlton Cuse (“Lost,” “Bates Motel”) and Ryan Condal (“Hercules”). The project marks the first time that Holloway and Cuse are reunited since “Lost.”

Holloway will play the main character, Will Bowman, a former FBI agent who — to protect his family — is forced to collaborate with the occupational government to bring down the growing resistance movement inside the Los Angeles colony.

Best known for his role as “Sawyer” in the hit drama “Lost,” Holloway was last seen in the thriller, “Intelligence.”  On the silver screen the actor appeared in “Paranoia” with Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman and Liam Hemsworth, starred in the inspirational “Battle of the Year” and most recently appeared in the action thriller “Sabatoge” alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sam Worthington and Terrence Howard.  Additional television credits include “Community,” “NCIS,” “CSI,” “Walker Texas Ranger” and “The Lyon’s Den.”  Film credits include “Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, “Stay Cool,” “Whisper Mi Amigo, “Moving August” and “Cold Heart.”  Josh Holloway is represented by William Morris Endeavor.

COLONY, set in 2015, follows characters living in Los Angeles which exists in a state of occupation.  Some collaborate with the authorities and benefit from the new order, while others rebel and suffer the consequences. COLONY is a naturalistic drama about a family torn by those opposing forces, making difficult choices as they balance keeping their family together with surviving the struggle of the human race.

I provide testosterone to the site. You won’t be reading about how nice a actress looks in a dress or how much of a hunk Matt Bomer is in my reviews. I describe colors using words like brown, not taupe. My twitter name is @staffaroadtrip because I love road trips and have done two different 48-state road trips since 2008. My favorite show is White Collar.
