The series "Lost": actors and roles, plot

Twelve years have passed since the first season of the television series “Lost” started (in Russia it was released under the title “Lost”). About 19 million viewers witnessed the first episode. Until the end of the final season, the project did not reduce its rating, was recognized as the most successful in the entire history of ABC channel, and in 2006 received the Golden Globe Award in the nomination "Best Drama Series".

What was the Lost series about? The actors and roles that glorified them were loved by many viewers. For some of the artists, participation in the project was a start not only in professional activity, but also in personal life. What are the actors who played the main roles now? And how did they influence participation in this large-scale television project?

According to the plot, 48 passengers of the aircraft, surviving after its crash, are forced to be on an uninhabited island, adapt to new living conditions, trying to stay alive. But, being in this place, none of them knew that he would encounter the unknown. For 6 seasons, each character will think: “Why did fate bring him and his comrades in misfortune on this deserted island?” Among the surviving passengers were: pregnant, officer, paralyzed, rocker, criminal, doctor and other characters of the Lost project.

Actors of the series now admit that the scriptwriters carefully hid even the contents of future episodes from them, everyone received only that part of the script in which their characters are present, the creators tried to do without spoilers even in commercials. With each series, the intrigue grew, the plot became more confused and no one was safe from disappearance from the project.

The final episode of the series made a lot of noise, got a lot of conflicting responses, but the creators believe that they did everything right.

Matthew Fox as Jack Shepard

Fox, having tried himself as Sawyer, eventually played Dr. Jack Shepard in the series. Initially, it was planned that the hero would die in the first series, but the character was so fond of the viewer and the film crew that it was decided to make him one of the main characters of the show.

The actor himself admitted that the series “Lost” will be the last series experience for him, but in the movie he can be seen often. One of his most successful films is considered to be the "Shelling Point". Having lost 22 kilograms for the film “I, Alex Cross,” Matthew told reporters that he did not recognize himself on the screen at first. There was another small role in the film “War of the Worlds Z” and other film projects.

According to Fox, he does not like being a recognizable person, the main goal of filming is making money, and being a public person is not an easy task.
