Like many of his fellow
Lost costars, this former model had only a handful of movie and TV credits on his résumé when the plane-wrecked series catapulted him to fame. Dangerously sexy, Holloway's bad-boy character became an instant favorite with audiences, and his scruffy good looks landed him on
People's 50 Most Beautiful People list. Off screen, this small-town boy is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys fishing, sailing, camping and snowboarding.
