‘Lost’ star ‘would love Rockford Files’
by bozo on Sep.01, 2010, under TV News
Former Lost star Josh Holloway has admitted that he would love to star in NBC’s forthcoming remake of The Rockford Files.
It was previously reported that the actor was being considered for the role of private eye Jim Rockford.
Holloway told Entertainment Weekly that he had been interested in the show since the final season of Lost, in which his character Sawyer and Miles Straume (Ken Leung) appeared as cops in the ‘flash-sideways’ universe.
“I was like, no way, don’t even go there… because I love The Rockford Files,” he explained. “[But] I thought Ken would be great for [Rockford's sidekick]. I would have loved that show.”
Dermot Mulroney was cast as Rockford in a first attempt at a reboot, but was later dropped from the project. Holloway revealed that he had not originally considered the part, as he had been keen to concentrate on a film career.
“I wanted to give movies a shot, so I never even pursued it,” he said.
David Shore, executive producer on the new pilot, previously confirmed that the actor was a “viable choice” for the Rockford role.

I pity the fool who doesn’t crack up over Chuck‘s latest piece of stunt casting.
Six-time WWE champion Batista, Expendables villain Eric Roberts, and Bones squintern Joel David Moore have signed on to guest-star as Casey’s former soldier-of-fortune buddies from the Clinton era.
His A-Team, if you will.
The trio—who turn up in this season’s fourth episode, “Chuck Versus the Coup d’Etat”—have gone rogue and are back to seek revenge on their ex-comrade.
Love. It.
