Josh Holloway expected to be axed from 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 explained during an appearance on US TV.
“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.”
