A man who pleaded guilty to holding Lost star Josh Holloway hostage was officially sentenced to a minimum of 13 years in prison on Tuesday.

Ruben Royce entered a guilty plea to 34 offenses as part of a plea deal reached with prosecutors in February.

Royce broke into Holloway’s house in October 2005, threatening the actor and his wife with a gun before stealing their wallets and their car.

During sentencing on Tuesday in a Honolulu, Hawaii court, Judge Karl Sakamoto ruled Royce must serve between 13 to 30 years behind bars after chastising him for being responsible for “a tidal wave of crime” that terrorized victims in their own homes.

Royce admitted to three other robberies and in January, he was also convicted of robbery, burglary, firearms violations and reckless endangerment stemming from a fifth incident.

The 23-year old also pleaded guilty to a variety of offences including kidnapping, first-degree robbery, burglary and autotheft.

Earlier this year Royce’s lawyer Terry Marshall stated he was determined to get his client’s sentence reduced as Royce “stepped up, because he is hoping to turn his life around”.

Josh Holloway, star of hit TV series Lost, is in negotiations with 20th Century Fox to play Cajun fan favorite character Gambit in the fourth X-Men instalment. This confirms the mild speculation over whether another sequel to the fourth-highest-grossing movie in 2006 (approx. $234 million US) would be made. A few actors, most notably Halle Berry, have expressed reservations about donning the X-spandex for yet another intense, green-screen-heavy, CGI freak-fest. But with the success of the Spider-Man movies currently Hollywoods No. 1 cash cow with an iron-clad contract guaranteeing at least three more Spidey sequels its no surprise the X-Men franchise is still being expanded.

Josh Holloway expressed nothing but excitement at the prospect of bringing the kinetic Casanova to the silver screen, exclaiming, “I would love to play a superhero. I’d love to wear a cape and tights! We had a meeting and they wanted me to play Gambit, the card dealer character, they thought Id be perfect for the part.”

Lost star Josh Holloway always ended all of his romantic relationships before they got too serious until he was challenged by his future wife Yessica. The star, who plays Sawyer on the hit show, and his wife have been married since 2004 and he claims he has finally met his match.

He tells American Elle magazine, “I’ve done all the dumping, which is not a good thing. It’s funny, because I married someone who has always done it as well. I believe I met my match.”

The 37-year-old says he did try to break things off early in the relationship adding, “At the very beginning, yes; when I felt it getting pretty serious I went, uh-oh, and wrote the goodbye letter. But she promptly wrote another letter that trumped it. So I stayed!”
