‘Lost’ Dead Chars Won’t Be Shut Up

Posted on: May 16th, 2010 by wmapother 1 Comment

During the Entertainment Weekly shoot, we were asked some questions about our deaths on the show.  For those who just can’t get enough during this final week, the link (thank you, Roberta) to the video is here.

MediaBlvd Magazine has printed an interview with me about Ethan and that show.    In it I do a lot of yapping (note to self:  get to the point!).  The interview is here.

For those dying to ask me a tough question, or hear me try to field toughies from others, I’ll be on the podcast ‘Lost’ Causes, this Monday at 8p eastern/5p western.

The website is here.  It lists a phone number and links to previous shows.

Be gentle.

What’s Lost is Found (Kind of)

Posted on: February 10th, 2010 by wmapother 1 Comment


So tonight, a bit in advance of what I expected, the entire world — and I mean every single one of us — saw Ethan’s return to ‘Lost.’ And no one — and I mean not a single one of us — has any idea what it means. Except for about eight crazed writers in Burbank, and they’re not talking.

I’ve combined a number of questions I’m asked about the show into this simple Q & A:
Q: Why?
A: I have no idear.
Q: But seriously, why? Why are they hurled through time, and why was there a polar bear, and why is [getting a bit breathless through hyper-ventilating] —
A: Please, take a breath. Say after me, ‘He…has…no…idea-r.”
Q: Okay, a softball: Is it a fun show to work on?
A: Sadly, yes. This episode was a blast. I hadn’t worked with Evie since Season 1 (I think!) and Emilie since Season 2 (or was it 3? Ahhhhh!), and we fell right back into catching up and joking around. The cast, crew and producers have created an obnoxiously friendly set that one never wants to leave. It’s cliched, but it’s felt like a little reunion every time I’ve returned.
Q: Is it difficult to play Ethan, given that we’ve seen several different sides to him?
A: It would be if I or the audience expected it — or him — to make a lick of sense. However, because the less-obsessed among us long ago happily moved into the back seat to enjoy the ride, I can — mostly — simply play Ethan scene to scene without worrying about justifying apparent contradictions. Now, about that ‘mostly’..
Q: Do you know whether or not —
A: I have no id– well, you know. Really. Mostly.
