play

Los Angeles – Josh Holloway almost crashed his role in “Duster” before the series was missed by his friend and “lost” creator JJ Abrams for three days.

“JJ said,” Where were you? You are impossible to achieve it, “and I’m,” says Holloway and waves to his iPhone on the restaurant table. “I mainly leave it at home and don’t check it. My wife hates that.”

Fortunately, when Abrams was connected to the actor, who put the flowing hair and the boasting in Sawyer during the six starsaisons of ABCS “Lost” in Sawyer, he headed directly into his great reunification idea.

“JJ said, ‘You were a Mafia Wheelman in 1972,” recalls Holloway. “He began to get me in mind. I immediately fell in love with this character in this era, which is so rich – the 1970s. Everything JJ said fueled this fire.”

The lecture contributed to igniting the Max series “Duster” from Abrams and Latoya Morgan from the 1970s. The action crime thriller (premiere on May 15, on Thursdays at 9 ET/6 PT) plays Rachel Hilson as Nina Hayes, the FBI’s first black woman who recruits the criminal escape driver Jim Ellis (Holloway) to put down a mighty crime lord in Arizona.

Intrepid Agent Hayes brings the drama with maneuvering her bigot, sexist FBI bosses (“Lost” Alaun Greg Grunberg, Sporting Hammelfänger), while aimed at Jim’s Mafia boss Ezra Saxton (Keith David). As the title makes clear, the “Duster” engine drive is the Puge-Budget-friendly Plymouth Muscle Car with Holloway, 55, which reaches the pedal.

In order to play Jim on the open motorway, Holloway relied on the training of the camera hair areas, which he received under “lost” Hawaii wind conditions, which is known to be helicopter.

“I learned how to work with the wind as Sawyer, just so that you can get the damn attitude,” he says. “You have to carry out your dialogue in the wind to avoid that your best earnings are ruined because you are looking for a Haarchomp -Chomp -Cham.”

Holloway “never lost his wish to drive quickly

Abrams learned during “Lost” that Holloway had the need for speed. Stories about the actor who drove on the two-lane two-lane Oahu motorways in his Mercedes SLK 350.

“The car was small, but far overwhelmed. And the Hawaiian drivers are So Slowly, “says Holloway, immediately upset.” JJ might have heard of this time when I slam on the gas to drive nine cars in a row on a double yellow line. In any case, he knows that I drive too quickly. “

For the new series, Abrams Holloway promised to leave his beloved dirt biking to avoid an injury. The criminal undervalued Holloway’s post “Lost” characters tend to live hard and die faster, including the IMF agent Trevor Hanaway in 2011 Mission: impossible – Ghost ProTocol. “Hana was murdered in the first 10 minutes of Tom Cruise kapers during the crackerjack opening scene.

In 2021, Holloway died the “Yellowstone” death of all time after two seasons, in which the rival Roarke Morris was created in the modern cowboy series by long -time girlfriend Taylor Sheridan. Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) opened a cooler with an excited rattles snake on the unsuspecting fly fishing roarke, which quickly sewed out of the bite.

Holloway gave up dirt bike riding, but rose to the series for stunt training during the extended waiting period, which was tightened by the strikes Covid-19 pandemic and Hollywood workers. In order to seamlessly make the TV duster driver seamlessly (four how cars were used for filming), Holloway was enrolled in the legendary Stuntman Rick Seaman driving school (now known as a film Driving Clinic) and complemented his crash course with extensive private sessions.

“Jim’s comfort zone is when he drives super quickly,” says Holloway. “I wanted to get used to being like this in the car. In the Stunt School, they are like: ‘If you don’t destroy a mature here, don’t do your job.'”

Holloway, who insists that he does not use hairdressing products in his everyday life, attributes to a “film magic” to do his mane more in the series. In addition to the voluminization, this support included the Emmy award winner Michael Ward him during the money recordings about the Auto-Radio, the Duster close-ups during the motorway cruise.

“The wind and hair go everywhere,” says Holloway. “And Michael says: ‘Shake it. How to repair it.”

Even the car for the moving camera for these improved pictures requires skills. But the trained Holloway also pursued more advanced stunts, including the spinning of a successful, complete turning alongside a “flawless” vintage police car.

Holloway has been married to two children for 20 years

The master class for driving the 1970s will be a thrill for his family, including his wife Yessica Kumala. Holloway proposed Kumala on the “Lost” set, and the duo celebrated its 20th wedding anniversary last October. “It’s like a century of marriage in Hollywood,” he jokes.

Daughter Java Kumala, 16, started driving (“And she has this little lead foot”), while the 11-year-old son Hunter Lee Lee is “My Dirt Bike Mini-Me”. Holloway is still rolling in his black Toyota tundra. “Only today my 11-year-old said to me: ‘Papa, you are aggressive. You call your truck’ the stallion ‘and you whistle it before you take off somewhere.”

When you see your father in the Showcase role, a serious family credo, especially the children who came after the “loss”, ended in 2010.

“Basically, I work for the Holloway family. I am your Uber driver, dishwasher and cook,” says Holloway. “But now you will see that the father does something different. I can’t wait.”
