Lost in the NYT

The New York Times has a large piece on ‘Lost’ and the show runners here with all sorts of accompanying articles and photo galleries.  The photo to the right is of Damon and Carlton and for a larger version of it, in which you can see the headshots of the actors on that R.I.P. wall, including yours truly near the bottom left, click here.
