Lost star Josh Holloway has claimed that his character Sawyer is both good and evil.

Speaking to E! Online, the actor explained that Sawyer has changed over the seasons.

"Sawyer is both - he is good and evil," Holloway said. "He can walk comfortably - more comfortably, I think, most of his life towards evil - but now more comfortably in good. But he can always cross the line."

Holloway added that he has enjoyed exploring Sawyer's changing behaviour.

He said: "It's a very interesting place to play from this season because of the loss of Juliet and so forth, and the anger and frustration and sadness there brought him back to his sort of original personality of being angry at the world and keeping everyone at a distance.

"So it's been an interesting line to walk. That, yet still let the other things that he's been forced to learn on this island permeate through that sadness. So it's been fun."

Lost continues Tuesdays at 9pm on ABC in the US and Fridays at 9pm on Sky1 in the UK.
