Lost actor robber sent to prison

Josh Holloway's Sawyer is one of the main characters in Lost

The armed robber who held Lost star Josh Holloway and his wife hostage at their home in Hawaii has been handed a prison sentence of up to 30 years.

Judge Karl Sakamoto said Ruben Royce, 23, had been responsible for "a tidal wave of crime".

Royce broke into the actor's home in October 2005, threatened him and his wife and stole their wallets and car.

He has also admitted carrying out three other robberies. Holloway, 38, plays castaway Sawyer in the hit US drama.

Royce pleaded guilty to multiple charges including kidnapping, first-degree robbery, burglary and car theft in February.

His defence lawyer claimed he did not know Holloway was a television star until after the robbery.
