I loved his role in Lost, but after watching Intelligence and Colony, I've noticed his acting is sub-par. Shame. I guess he lucked out with a good role in Lost.
TV Shows I've watched: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls072583934/. Any suggestions?
I thought he was above average acting wise, IMHO
shareI used to believe that he's not a good actor, too but I decided to rewatch some of his scenes in the last 2 seasons of Lost, in order to compare his role on Lost and on Colony. My thoughts were that there is no way that an actor who gave an amazing performance in those seasons can change and become a bad actor. Especially, in the scene on the dock with Kate, where he talks about Juliet. Even the critics praise him and said that he deserved an Emmy nomination. I think the problem is that Will Bowman is a boring and uninterested character that doesn't give Josh Holloway the chance to show his acting range, but in the episode where Will fights with Katie, he showed some of his talent. So, for me it has to do more with the character and less with he's acting ability. I won't bother to say anything about his acting on Intelligence because the show was awful.
Btw, most of the critics who have reviewed Colony seem to like his acting and that's enough for me.
Disagree. Not saying he's Christian Bale, but he's definitely a good actor and obviously works very hard.

I watched Colony first. I actually thought he was too douchey acting to like and I didn't care much what happened to him and stopped watching.
I had never seen lost before a couple of days ago. I hate him on lost. Same reasons. Douche. This episode that made me look him up is a lot better. I think if he's a nice person IRL he must be a great actor to always play the douche smart ass.
Yes, Josh is a lot nicer in real life. I loved Sawyer's development during the entire series of Lost.
shareSawyer isn't a douche, he acts like one at the start but if you keep watching you'll see him opening up a little. He's just behind many walls, trying to act tough but he's a nice guy. I'm not sure if you kept watching the series, though.
About his acting skills I'm not sure I had the chance to watch Josh in much stuff so do anyone recommend something? What about stuff he did pre-lost anything worth watching? And also where to find?
I wouldn't recommend you none of the stuff he did pre-lost. I would recommend you only the tv-series Colony and Mission Impossible - ghost protocol but he dies in the first 5 minutes of the film.
shareI loved Josh's performance in the movie Cold Heart. I have it on dvd.
