EW has learned exclusively that Josh Holloway — who played James “Sawyer” Ford on ABC’s Lost — is in the process of closing a deal to make a cameo in Community’s two-part season finale. It’s set for May but no date has been announced.
Holloway’s character will emerge as a mysterious figure who shows up on campus during another game of paintball. The two-parter is a sequel, of sorts, to “Modern Warfare” — last year’s memorable episode that began with the Dean announcing a prize for a game of paintball. It devolved into campus-wide battle.
There were some rumors floating around Hollywood that Holloway was a contender for NBC’s remake of The Rockford Files, but the project never emerged from development hell. The actor ultimately signed a deal to co-star in the sequel Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.
Cool! On both accounts.
It’ll be good to see Sawyer again and the paintball episodes was one of my favorites.
Can’t wait to see Chang’s revenge.
Best news of the day!
Correction, best news evvverrrr!
Well, maybe not ever, but compared to the rest of the spoilers, streets ahead.
>Slow clapping<
And if you don’t think so you’re streets behind.
Yippy Skippy
Big YAY for Paintball!!!
That episode make me and some of my friends start playing paintball. No sex at the end thou.
Surprising and awesome. I am so pumped for this finale it’s silly.
I can’t wait to see this episode!
Interesting. I think the crawl at the bottom of Abed & Troy’s “election night” show last week stated there would NOT be another paintball tournament. Looks like Harmon is setting us up.
I thought so too! So glad that it was lying. I loved that scrolling newsfeed at the bottom, by the way.
It’s about time. I have missed him.
I didn’t even watch Lost but I’m excited to see what Josh brings to Community!
i cannot wait for abed lost jokes they will surely work in.
Agreed!
This is amazing! Two of my favourite shows collide.
I know, right? If they could work a cast member from Arrested Development into this ep, I think my head would explode.
AMEN!
Calling Jesse, er, Michael Cera! (Anyone else catch the one funny joke at the Oscars before dozing off?)
Oh Sawyer my beautiful Sawyer where have you been????
Oooh as Jeff’s dad, maybe?
are you blind – holloway and “jeff” are practically the same age.
Can’t wait to see this episode tho – should be a good one…
Probably more like his HOT brother. He’s pretty young! Did I mention HOT??
Totally calling him being Jeff’s long lost brother or something. The attractiveness probably runs in the family.
Long lost brother. ROFLMAO. Lost on a tropical island, perhaps?
prob his brother that hooks up with annie or britta. or i wouldnt even mind if he hooked up with troy!HOT
Loved the Lost reference in the Christmas episode. I will be looking forward to this! Liva Community!
The real question is, how much gratuitous shirtless time will he clock?
Well there was shirtless Jeff in the last one. It only makes sense to have shirtless Sawyer in this one. LOL
Hated Lost, but love Community. Sawyer always looked handsome, tough. It will be interesting to see what they have planned for him.
I’m excited to this; I haven’t seen him in anything but LOST (which he was always excellent in) and I’m looking forward to perhaps seeing his range.
great, now i might have to actually tune in to this show.
not that it’s bad, i tried watching the first three episodes.
but, i’ll give it a chance for sawyer.
You really should give it another shot. It improved drastically after episode five or so and has been skyrocketing toward perfection ever since.
I did the same thing you did, I gave up after three episodes…then randomly watched again at the end of the year, and hoo boy, what a difference. “Modern Warfare” was the one that turned me around. Also, while you’re at it, watch something from season 2 or 3 of Parks and Recreation if you wrote that one off for the same reasons (as I did). You won’t regret it.
I made the same mistake with Parks and Rec. Just got caught up, and can’t figure out why I stopped in the first place. Both Community and Parks and Rec are the best comedies on TV.
Parks and Rec season 1 was pretty bad. I didn’t even make it all the way through. However, season 2 and season 3 (so far) have been great. If you didn’t like Community at first, try again. Shows really do improve if given time to do so.
I did the exact thing with Parks and Rec and then I decided to give it another shot when season 2 started and have been lovin’ it ever since. I’ve been with Community from the begging though and have never regretted a minute of it.
ohhhh, you should definitely give it another go- I didn’t get into it until way into the middle of the first season, and now I will go out on a limb and say it’s my favorite TV comedy ever.
I think it’s mine too! Love the name, by the way. Did we ever find out if Vaughn is his first name or his last name?
Same. I tried to like Community, but it really wasn’t my thing. (I prefer dramas to comedies and only watch/love a few. Like poor, departed Better Off Ted.) Now, however, I’ll have to watch these episodes. I miss having a Sawyer fix!
