"Lost" Star Holloway Robbed
Forget the Others--Lost star Josh Holloway has real-life problems to worry about.
The actor and his wife were robbed at gunpoint in their Hawaii home early Wednesday morning, television station KHON reported.
Holloway, 36, and his wife, Yessica, 28, were awakened around 4 a.m. by a robber who pointed a handgun at them and demanded their money and credit cards.
After the twosome handed over their cash, the robber took Holloway's keys and drove away in his Mercedes-Benz. Police later found the car abandoned in the area.
Despite the stress of the incident, Holloway released a statement confirming that he and his wife were okay.
"My family and I are fine and appreciate everyone's concerns and good thoughts," Holloway said in the statement. "We are very grateful for the help of the Honolulu Police Department and the support of the local community."
Police said there was no indication that the suspect recognized Holloway as tough-talking Sawyer from ABC's Lost. (We're guessing they're right, seeing as he didn't demand any answers about what the hell is happening on that island.)
The suspect was described as about five-feet, eight-inches tall with a thin build, wearing a black T-shirt, black and gray baseball hat and carrying a black handgun.
Holloway's costar, Maggie Grace (Shannon) appeared on The View Thursday and called the robbery "a scary thing."
She said that the couple were "okay" but that their sense of safety had been "shattered."
Meanwhile, Holloway wasn't the only Lost star to feel threatened Wednesday. Just hours after the robbery, Harold Perrineau, who plays Michael on the show, and his wife, Brittany, said they were followed by two men as they drove to fellow cast member Daniel Dae Kim's house.
Brittany Perrineau told the Honolulu Advertiser that her husband made a series of quick turns in an effort to lose the men, but when he couldn't shake them, he called Kim and told him to stay inside. The car then made a quick U-turn and sped away. The actor did not report the incident to police.
"Hawaii is a lovely place to let your kids run around and leave your door unlocked, but definitely this has been a wake-up call," Brittany Perrineau told the Advertiser. "Maybe we need to be more private than we've been."
Despite their security setbacks, at least Holloway and Perrineau can feel safe reveling in the success of their show.
Some 21.7 million viewers tuned for Wednesday's episode of Lost, according to final figures from ABC, making it the most watched show of the night.
Now fans who (gasp!) miss an episode of the show, or an episode of the Alphabet net's other monster hit, Desperate Housewives, have another option, besides calling all their friends to see if anyone happened to TiVo it.
On Wednesday, Apple Computer announced that in addition to rolling out a spanking-new video iPod, it was making episodes of Lost and Housewives available for download through iTunes Music Store for $1.99 the day after they air. The store will also sell other Disney-ABC content, as well as music videos and movie shorts.
