F__K Hollywood, they missed out on another one

This guy could be the next big thing, He's a natural action hero in the mold of Schwarzenegger, Stallone, and Willis. He's good looking, brawny and he has the ease of a James Garner in front of the camera and the coolness of Eastwood when delivering one liners.
They missed out on Neal McDonough, Tom Selleck, almost missed out on Johnny Depp and Clooney. Now Josh is gonna be stuck in TV maybe for years.

He got 2 movies coming out within the next year..

-Paranoia alongside, Gary Oldman,Harrison Ford
-Ten with Arnold Schwarzenegger

I agree he should be in more High profile roles but with this new TV series and he's been rumored for the role of Hank Pym/Scott Lang in the upcoming ANT-MAN. I think there will be big things coming his way

yeah, cuz Liam Neeson's fresh out of college

Veteran movie actor and Oscar nominee Liam Neeson you're comparing Josh to? Come on. Anyway, I to am puzzled as to why Hollywood hasn't knocked down his door yet. He's handsom, charasmatic and a decent actor. I'd like to see him in something else to really gauge his ability, but from what I've seen, he's good.

I'm sure Josh will be okay. He has 3 films and a tv show coming up. I hope the tv show has a full season.

haha, ediadj, you're absolutely right. I was just trying to stress the point that Neeson's kind of got a whole new action career that took off cuz of 'Taken'. Before, he'd only been playing mentor type roles. When Neeson decides to stop doing those roles, Holloway can take that slot. Was not comparing their talents at all, no way haha. Thanks for putting a civilized response rather than a trolllike one.

Josh will be 44 this year, at that age Liam Neeson was already a certified leading man. Josh is still trying to make his mark as a supporting actor. There's no reason Josh couldn't be a solid leading man even if he's older, but let's face it, Hollywood like 'em young. The older ones still around got their start when they were much younger than Josh.
