So. It’s Lost week. In preparation for the epic series finale this Sunday. In preparation for what’s 99% sure to be a disappointing end to what is, in my opinion, the best television show ever. RFP got it right when he said the show has “science fiction elements that focus on the characters first rather than the fantastic things around them.” It’s interesting that Lost has no clear-cut protagonist, although the argument can be made that Jack has always been just that. But what I’m getting at is that everyone has a different favorite character. We didn’t just get to learn about one particular character – we were given glimpses into all their lives, and have therefore been allowed to decide for ourselves who we like best.
As the show went on and dug deeper into its strange plot, I began to find myself appreciating the actors. These roles could not have been easy. I knew Michael Emerson as the weird guy in the first Saw movie whom everyone thought was the killer. Now he’s one of my favorite actors. Josh Holloway does a fantastic job as Sawyer. Matthew Fox was born to play Jack. Jorge Garcia, likewise, was meant for the role of Hurley.
Sometimes, to appreciate the end of something, we have to look at its origins. So, as a tribute to Lost, its characters, and its actors, I’ve decided to post a link to a site that has all our favorite Lost actors’ and actresses’ audition tapes. Check out Matthew Fox trying to be Sawyer. Hilarious.
