The wonderfully diverse
Lost Cast
makes
for extremely polarized opinions on cast members; they are so distinct
with their own backgrounds and surprise flashbacks that the writers
have fans wondering, who and what do we REALLY know on the show?
Learn more about the Lost cast members in this article – their role on
the show, they background, and why people love and hate them.
Terry O’Quinn (Locke). Terry
plays John Locke, a superb huntsman who relies on faith more than
science at this point in life. As many of the other characters on
the show, Locke has had a very troubled past, having been raised in
foster care. Fans remember this Lost cast member from his work on another J.J. Abrams show, Alias, as well as his enigmatic role in Millennium, a TV Series on Fox.
Emilie de Ravin (Claire). Emilie de Ravin plays Claire, who spent most of Season 1 pregnant. Fans remember her from her role as Tess Harding in Roswell. Fans watch this Lost
cast member to see how the young mother will fare on the deserted
island and to watch her budding romance with Charlie.
Jorge Garcia (Hurley). Jorge Garcia plays Hugo Reyes, better known as Hurley. Jorge has been steadily acting since 1997; fans may remember this Lost cast member from his roles in the following movies Happily Even After and The Good Humor Man as well as his role as Hector in the TV Series, Becker.
Fans watch Hurley to follow the funny man’s lucky/unlucky fate as a
lottery winner worth millions stranded on the desert
island.
Evangeline Lilly (Kate). Evangeline plays Kate Austin, a fugitive from justice. A relative newcomer to Hollywood, fans may recognize this Lost cast member from her small role in Smallsville.
Kate keeps fans on their toes as they try to learn more
about her; they love watching this criminal with a heart of gold’s
“good girl” pushed into crime story come to
life.
Daniel Dae Kim (Jin). Daniel plays Jin, the husband in the Korean couple that survive the plane crash. Fans remember this Lost cast member from his previous roles in Crash, Spider-Man 2, Sin, Ride or Die, Hulk, Momentum, The Jackal, Addicted to Love, and American Shaolin.
Fans love watching Jin struggle to communicate with the rest of the
survivors as well as better understand the tension in his marriage to
Sun.
Michelle Rodriguez (Ana Lucia).
Michelle plays Ana Lucia Cortez, a character for whom the writers
haven’t revealed much. Fans more than likely have seen this Lost cast member in a “tough-chick” role in one of the following movies: Control, S.W.A.T, Blue Crush, Resident Evil, The Fast and The Furious, and Girlfight. Fans watch to see how Ana Lucia will fare on the show.
Naveen Andrews (Sayid). Naveen
plays Sayid Jarrah, a soldier of the Iraqi Army, who was on a personal
journey to rescue a childhood friend. Naveen has been acting for
over 15 years now; fans may remember this Lost cast member from his roles in the following movies: Easy, Rollerball, Mighty Joe Young, Bombay Boys, The English Patient, and Wild West.
Fans love watching Sayid as he tangles with Shannon, the show’s
bad-girl and relish in his ability to get whatever he
wants.
Matthew Fox (Jack). Mathew plays Dr. Jack Shephard, the de facto leader of the castaways. Fans remember this Lost cast member from his Family of Five
days, where he played the head of the Salinger family for six years
(1994-2000) on Fox. Fans love his chiseled good looks and his
heroic role as the man of reason.
Josh Holloway (Sawyer). Josh
plays James “Sawyer” Ford on the show. Sawyer isn’t exactly a
villain, but has a role somewhere between “bad apple” and “curmudgeon”
on the show. Fans might recognize this Lost cast member
from small roles in movies in the early 2000s. Fans tune relish
watching how Sawyer clashes with the rest of the survivors and whether
he will ever redeem himself in his own (near-sighted)
eyes.
Yunkin Kim (Sun). Yunkin plays one half of a married Korean couple. Fans enjoy getting to know Yunkin on the Lost TV series. This Lost
cast member played a handful of roles in American movies dating back to
1996 and is famous in her native Korea, but for Americans, her role as
Sun is considered by most to be her breakout role. Fans like
watching her develop resolve and step out of her traditional role in an
Asian marriage.
Dominique Monaghan (Charlie). Dominique plays Charlie Pace, the heroin-addicted bass player of the band Drive Shaft. Fans will remember this Lost cast member from his role as Merry in the Lord of the Rings
Trilogy. Fans enjoy watching Charlie fight with his inner demons
and his devoted relationship with Hurley and Claire. His
character is so popular that fans have erected Drive Shaft websites in
his honor!
Harold Perrineau, Jr. (Michael). Harold plays Michael, father to the enigmatic Walt. Fans may remember this Lost cast member from his roles in the Matrix series, Prison Song, Woman on Top, The Best Man, Romeo+Juliet, Smoke, and may even remember his time on the TV hit series, Fame
(back in 1982). Fans tune to watch the Sun-Michael-Jin triangle
as well as see Michael develop into a father to weird
Walt.
Maggie Grace (Shannon). Maggie plays bad-girl Shannon, Boone’s step-sister. Fans may remember this Lost cast member from her roles in the following TV shows: Twelve Mile Road, Murder in Greenwich, and Septuplets.
Fans love tuning in to see what manipulative, cunning Shannon will do
next to stir the pot. Fans find her exquisitely dangerous now
that Shannon wants Locke dead.

The magic of the Lost
cast, with both their wildly diverse backgrounds and their wonderfully
developed characters has fans around the world under their spell.
Don’t worry, you’re not the only Lost cast fan to lose sleep worrying if your favorite Lost cast member would be the next to go! Stay tuned, the writers have an uncanny knack for introducing new Lost cast members all the time!
