As the sarcastic and strapping Sawyer on Lost there were few things that rattled Josh Holloway. Taking on polar bears, the Others, and those creepy folks from the Dharma Initiative — no sweat! But when it comes to things that intimidate the actor in real life, the smoke monster doesn’t hold a candle to the cast of NBC’s Community.
“They’re all so funny!” he told TV Guide Magazine of his guest stint on the show’s season finale. “They’re really tight with their comedy. It’s rhythmic. It makes me feel so not very funny being around them. I was a little like, ‘Uh oh. I’m not funny. I’ve got no rhythm.’ But it worked out.”
That may be an understatement, as Holloway, whose character engages in a paintball fight with the cast, received nothing but high marks from the show’s actors. “He’s such a man. So charming, and such a nice, nice man.” gushed Yvette Nicole Brown to us last week. “He’s playing a mysterious character and he’s wonderful in the role. It’s a role that written perfectly for him.”
“It’s a fun role,” says Holloway of the experience. “I loved those guys. I had a really good time and they were so awesome. I’d worked with Chevy [Chase] before on a movie so I was honored to get to work with him again, and the rest of the cast.”
Fans should enjoy Holloway’s TV appearance — rumored to be an homage to The Man With No Name from Sergio Leone’s Dollars Trilogy — because for now the actor is not looking into doing more television. “Well, right now I’m giving it a break because you have to sign that rather lengthy contract,” he admits. “But I’m open with TV still. TV has changed quite a bit, even since Lost. There’s a lot of great TV out there now, but I’m giving movies a shot, while I can.”

Via Deadline:
EXCLUSIVE: In his first major film role since leaving Lost, Matthew Fox has signed on to play an assassin in I, Alex Cross, the reboot of the James Patterson franchise character that’s being put together by QED with Tyler Perry starring and Rob Cohen directing. Ed Burns has also signed on to play Tommy Kane, Cross’s partner. At least three studios are vying for the project and a domestic distribution deal will be set imminently.
Contrary to his virtuous Lost character Jack Shepard, Fox will be playing one bad dude in this film. Fox plays Michael Sullivan, who kills both for money and thrills. He’s known as the Butcher of Sligo and shows why after Cross thwarts one of his killing attempts. Sullivan makes his retribution personal, by killing the detective’s wife in gruesome fashion. Then it becomes a mano a mano battle between them. Sullivan is one of the best known villains in the Patterson-penned novel series.
Mark Moss wrote the script and he and Cohen have generated a new draft that has some twists different from the novel. QED partners Bill Block and Paul Hanson are producing. WME put the package together.
The reboot of the Alex Cross series took root in late January, with Perry taking the role originated by Morgan Freeman in Kiss the Girls and Along Came A Spider. Those films were made at Paramount.

The CW’s zombie pilot Awakening just came to life in a big way: The formidable Titus Welliver has joined the cast!
The thriller tells the story of two sisters — played by Meredith Hagner (FX’s Lights Out) and Lucy Griffiths (BBC’s Robin Hood) — who face off during a zombie uprising.
Welliver will play a mysterious figure with piercing eyes and a dark overcoat who is hunting the zombies behind the first wave of the awakening.
In other woords, a total badass.
The Lost/Deadwood/Sons of Anarchy star is currently recurring on The Good Wife as Chris Noth’s onscreen nemesis, prosecutor Glenn Childs.

You let go. Really, you did. When Lost ascended to the TV afterlife last May, you returned to your normal life, paying those overdue bills, mowing your overgrown lawn, even resuming communication with those who couldn’t understand why you wanted to own a jar of Dharma peanut butter. But perhaps somewhere in the recesses of your brain, as you saw an Elizabeth Mitchell or a Daniel Dae Kim pop up on your flatscreen, you started thinking about our dear castaways. Where are those Lost actors now? Do you they miss working on the show? And is it true that Josh Holloway cut his hair?
Those burning questions — and more — are answered in this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly. We interviewed a bunch of cast members, including Matthew Fox, Josh Holloway, and Elizabeth Mitchell, and caught up the men in charge of the show, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, as well as co-creator J.J. Abrams. The good news? No one is currently roaming the halls of a psychiatric facility in a bathrobe, repeatedly chanting six numbers. Some more good news? Several familiar faces — such as Jorge Garcia, Michael Emerson, and Henry Ian Cusick — are plotting their return to series television by starring in drama pilots. Another has landed on the stage: Mr. Fox is currently in London, starring in a new Neil LaBute play titled In a Forest Dark and Deep. “A play in the West End of London is something I’ve always dreamed of doing,” he tells EW, noting that “it’s been my goal after Lost to get into a situation where I’m doing a film here and there and a play here and there — that broad of a structure.”
Fox isn’t the only former cast member exploring new ground in Europe: Holloway recently filmed scenes for Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, starring Tom Cruise. While he can’t spill too much about his role, he does hint, “I’m definitely doing some ass-kicking.” And because he’s down for all kinds of challenges in this next phase of his career, he’s guest-starring in the paintball-themed season finale of Community. “There’s a couple of good one-liners in there,” he says. “I hope I pull them off!” (Fingers tightly crossed for a Troy and Abed in the Morning segment with Holloway.)
