V star Elizabeth Mitchell has revealed that she wants her former Lost co-star Josh Holloway to appear on the show.
Mitchell, who previously played Juliet Burke on the ABC drama, told E! Online that she would like to be reunited with her on-screen lover.
“I need that, right?” she asked. “Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”
However, she admitted that a potential film career could hinder Holloway’s chances of appearing on the programme.
“C’mon, he’s a movie star,” she said. “He needs to go be a movie star. He’s so delightful.”
The actress also insisted that the forthcoming second season of V will be “so much better” than the first.
“It comes back in November, and we just started filming,” she explained. “I feel like [season one] set the groundwork and then it’s off and running, which I needed it to be. It’s more fun for me.”
The new season of V is expected to begin airing in November.
It’s been nearly three months since Lost ended and I’m still finding Easter eggs. My latest discovery: Sawyer’s purgatorial stint as a police detective may have foreshadowed Josh Holloway’s next career move!
News that NBC is taking another stab at rebooting the ’70s private-eye classic The Rockford Files—sans Dermot Mulroney in the title role—has revived talk that Holloway would look great in James Garner’s iconic (gum)shoes. And for the first time, that chatter appears to be spreading beyond my office!
A Peacock source tells me that the former Lostie’s name has been mentioned in connection to the project, but the insider stresses that there are no serious talks going on at this time. Meanwhile, House exec producer David Shore—who is shepherding the reboot along with Steve Carell’s Carousel Prods and Peter Berg’s Film 44—concedes that Holloway is a “viable choice,” but adds that “it’s too premature” to start naming names. A rep for the actor declined to comment for this story.
“NBC is still high on the project,” adds Shore. “They would like it to happen. Peter Berg’s involved producing and possibly directing and we will be looking for a new lead.”
The first attempt to revive the franchise crashed and burned last spring when the completed pilot received a thumbs-down from NBC execs.
“[It] looked like it was shot in the ’70s,” one source bemoaned to NYMag.com’s Joe Adalian. “You didn’t even know it was the current day until Jim pulled out his cell phone. It looked like Stephen J. Cannell directed it himself.”
From us at Josh Holloway Online, I would like to wish Josh a very happy 41st birthday!
We hope your day will be full of happiness and laughters! Happy birthday, Josh!

Yesterday AvengersNews posted an article that claimed, “there’s been talk between Marvel and his [Josh Holloway] group to play a ‘lead’ role in an upcoming Marvel film.” The site claimed that it was likely he was up for the role of either Hank Pym, Hawkeye or Dum Dum Dugan based on “subtle hints” that they had recieved.
Like many of you, I was pleased to hear this news especially as I’m a big fan of Holloway’s work in Lost and could see him being able to do a great job with any of the characters listed above. However, I decided to dig a little deeper with this rumour and after a lot of searching and several emails, I managed to get in touch with Melissa Kates from View Point LA who represents the actor.
I asked her whether there was any truth to the news and if she could tell me exactly what role he might be in the running for but was unfortunately met with the following response:
“Hi Josh – this is just a rumor.”
So there you have it. Many thanks to Melissa for taking the time to get back to me! Personally, I still hope that we’ll see Holloway get a role in a comic book movie in the near future but you can have your say with the below poll and in the usual place!
Marvel casting news is a hot topic this past week or so. We’ve had Tommy Lee Jones and Dominic Cooper confirmed for roles in The First Avenger: Captain America. Also, over the weekend two separate stories help to give credence to each other that we might see Carol Danvers/Ms. Marvel in The Avengers played by either Alice Eve or Malin Akerman. AvengerNews is reporting we may have more Marvel casting news this week involving Josh Holloway (Lost):
Apparently there’s been talk between Marvel and his [Josh Holloway] group to play a “lead” role in an upcoming Marvel film. We mention a “lead” role because these bigger actors often won’t sign “retainers”, meaning everything should be 100% locked (character, film, etc) for Josh once he’s signed the dotted line.
Get ready for more “Lost.”
The producers of ABC’s hit drama have shot so much crucial material for the show’s hugely anticipated finale that the network has agreed to extend the last episode by an extra half hour.
When the “Lost” finale airs on Sunday, May 23rd, the episode will run from 9 to 11:30 p.m. The overrun will air instead of the local news, with the “Jimmy Kimmel Live: Aloha to Lost” post-finale special remaining at 11:30 p.m. ABC is expected to announce the plan on tonight’s episode of Kimmel.
Executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof just completed post-production on the finale” — on Monday night. Both sent out identical Tweets: “We’re done. Amen.”
The supersizing of the finale is the latest adjustment to what might as well be called “The ‘Lost‘ Weekend.” ABC is airing an “enhanced” (pop-ups) version of the show’s original two-hour pilot on May 22. On Sunday there’s a two-hour retrospective titled “Lost: The Final Journey,” followed by the finale and Kimmel post-show.
