5) Josh Holloway
Thanks to his fan favourite role on the TV show Lost, we all know Josh Holloway looks good walking shirtless out of the sea, but why would he make a good Aquaman?
Ever since he first rose to fame on Lost, Holloway has been plagued with rumours regarding a potential role as the X-Men’s Gambit, but the actor would also be an excellent fit for DC’s Aquaman. Physically, he has the build required and his experience as James Sawyer on Lost shows he can play the anti-hero with ease, a trait Warner Bros. may wish to pursue with their new interpretation of the character. As one of the older actors on this list, Holloway would also be more believable in the role of a monarch.
After finding fame as Sawyer, Holloway’s career post-Lost has not lived up to the potential that viewers saw back at the show’s peak. Aside from a few minor cinematic roles and a brief appearance in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, the only significant project Holloway has starred in is the TV show Intelligence, which was cancelled after just one season. I think it’s about time he gets another break, don’t you?
Why he deserves to play Aquaman more than Jason Momoa: Holloway would be more convincing as the King of Atlantis.
