Josh Holloway on 'Duster' Season 1 Finale Twist: "It Crushes Me"
Briefly

Josh Holloway, known for his roles in shows like Lost and Colony, has evolved into a TV tough guy. Despite his tough-guy image, he practices yoga for mindfulness and physical healing. In a recent conversation, he reflected on his martial arts background and how yoga has become integral to his life. A surprising call from J.J. Abrams led to his role in Duster, where he plays a mafia fixer in the 1970s, an era that fascinates him. Holloway's enthusiasm for this project is palpable as he connects to the historical context of the show.
"It's been a journey," Holloway tells me over Zoom about his affinity for the meditative practice. He's calling from snow-frosted Montana, where he's shooting an unnamed Western. During our chat, Holloway rocks a glorious eggshell white cowboy hat; underneath it, a mile-wide pearly smile and a laugh that emanates from the depths of his abs.
Holloway's inner nourishment via yoga came in handy when, not long ago, he got a call "out of nowhere" from J.J. Abrams. Over the phone, his former boss on Lost pitched him a high-octane series that felt like a new starring vehicle.
As soon as he said, 'You're a fixer for the mafia in 1972,' my mind blew up. I was born in '69 but I remember the '70s. I was in love just thinking of the music, the fashion, the cars, the political situations.
He's like, 'Don't take another show.' I'm like, 'You had me at hello, bro.'
