Most fans are used to seeing Josh Holloway looking all sweaty and grimy as his character, castaway con man Sawyer Ford, struggles to survive on ABC's "Lost."
   So it's a little surreal to see the tall, lanky actor settling into his chair in the bar of this luxury Southern California hotel. For starters, he has traded in his grotty island togs for a stylish all-black ensemble of slacks, leather jacket and a scarf around his neck -- partly because a freakish cold snap has turned the air outside chilly enough to accommodate that "Lost" polar bear.
   The main thing, though, is that Holloway looks so -- well, clean.
   The 37-year-old actor bursts into good-natured laughter when an interviewer asks him to start dishing the dirt - specifically, just how filthy he and his castmates have to get for their roles in the Emmy-winning ABC Wednesday drama series.

   According to the industry trades, "Demons" is in first position on Perrineau's slate, which would limit the "Lost" producers in their ability to resolve Michael's story arc any further.
   The "Oz" and "Smoke" star has used his "Lost" downtime to shoot a trio of features in "Your Name Here," "Gardens of the Night" and the zombie-tastic sequel "28 Weeks Later." Read the full story here. (7:37 PM)
