Josh Holloway has revealed he thought he would be axed from hit TV show `Lost’ after he read the first script. The actor, who plays Sawyer, thought that his character was too nasty to survive on the island for a long period of time. “When I read the first script I was like: ‘oh my God, I might as well not even unpack my bags. He is going to be hated,'” Josh explains. “They gave me just a tiny bit of humanity and I blew it up as much as I could. I was like: ‘Please be the guy you love to hate, not the guy you hate, because if you’re the guy they hate – you’re going to get axed.’ So I was trying my best to do that and fans responded.” [13 February 2006]
