Royce pleaded guilty to 33 criminal charges in a Honolulu court, including three other robberies, as part of a prosecution bargain that could see him sentenced to up to 30 years behind bars.
He was convicted last month of another robbery, as well as charges including reckless endangerment and firearms violations. Royce said he had no idea at the time that Holloway, who plays Sawyer in the series, was famous.
"Basically, he was driving around looking for fancy cars, nice homes and picked certain ones for home invasion," said prosecutor Maurice Arrisgado.
He said Holloway and his wife had been frightened by Royce.
"They thought they were going to get killed," Arrisgado said. "This guy was very vicious and had no hesitation in pointing the gun in their face."
Royce will be sentenced on 29 April.
