Mortal Kombat 2: 10 Actors Who Could Play Johnny Cage

One of the most fascinating things about Johnny Cage is that although he is obnoxious and full of himself, he's still incredibly likeable, as his humour, charm, and goofiness are instantly appealing. If you're thinking of characters who followed a similar path, then you should easily recall Sawyer from Lost and the actor behind him - Josh Holloway.

Holloway's performance in the formative J.J. Abrams show displayed how skilled he was at making you fall for a character with a rough and arrogant exterior. Despite all of his flaws, it was easy to root for Sawyer as he had a boyish charm about him and infectious confidence.

Aside from this notable performance, Holloway is perfect for the role as his comedy skills combined with his Hollywood looks are a match made in heaven for the character. He's also proven to be a competent physical threat in movies like Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, Colony and Sabotage.

Finally, his signature southern drawl would be an exciting change for Johnny. Although he might not fit the typical Hollywood vibe, he would bring a sense of ease and charm - almost like Mortal Kombat's version of Matthew McConaughey.
