Interviews with Josh Holloway, Evangeline Lilly and Terry O'quinn

Here only fews part of Terry, Evi and Josh interview you can read more here : complete interviews here

Terry O'Quinn

On the tragic nature of John Locke, and his death:

"I got an email that said, 'It was such a disappointment to us to see Locke go that way, to see that he was an insignificant loser.' My response was, I cling to the idea that he was in fact a significant loser, that his path, his actions were significant in that they made a difference. ... It was unfortunate that he wasn't fulfilled, that he wasn't able to garner the thing that he wanted most, which was recognition and respect and to be somebody. And a nobody was who he was [when he went to Australia]. He was an unperson. He was tragic."

Was Locke's faith misplaced, then?

"I think it was never placed. He desperately wanted to believe in something, and he to this point in his life never found anything that repaid him for believing in it. ... [Until he found the Island and the belief] that it could be shared with everyone. He desperately wanted that to happen. He said he was a man of faith, but I also think that he desperately wanted people to have faith in him. So no, I don't think he was ever satisfied. And that's what makes him tragic. But a good man."

Evangeline Lilly

Does that help or hinder you as an actress?

"I think it helps me be true to Kate. When Locke comes 'back to life,' if I had read the scripts, I would have known that he's alive and he's kicking and he's doing his thing. But Kate doesn't encounter Locke until long afterward. And when she encountered them, I think I was the only one who realized that this was her first time seeing this dead man alive. And I think it helped—I had to show that she was gobsmacked...

"There are a lot of times when I'll show up on set and say to the director, 'Walk me through this. Where has [Kate] been and what is she doing? Because we don't shoot in chronological order. It can be hard to remember what the chronology is and how much time has passed between events. We have Greg Nations, who's become famous as the script supervisor who maintains all the details and all the chronology. But sometimes the director will make a decision on the fly. When's the last time she saw her? Oh, let's say two hours-ish."

Josh Holloway

On the season four finale reveal, and his role in concealing it:

"I was [filmed] in a coffin when they were trying to keep Terry O'Quinn's secret. They put me in a suit, and they put me in the coffin, and they shot it. I got to tell you, it pissed me off. Because even if you know you're not dead, you feel like you're dead for a minute."

Article : details of Jimmel Kimmel live "Aloha to Lost" event

"Lost" stars past and present Naveen Andrews, Nestor Carbonell, Alan Dale, Jeremy Davies, Emilie de Ravin, Michael Emerson, Matthew Fox, Daniel Dae Kim, Terry O’Quinn and Harold Perrineau are all confirmed to appear live on ABC's special "Jimmy Kimmel Live" post-"Lost" finale episode on Sunday, May 23 at 12:05 a.m.

Also making "special appearances" (we assume not in the studio) are Jorge Garcia, Josh Holloway and Evangeline Lilly. The special -- “JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE: ALOHA TO LOST”-- will also include "an exclusive look at THREE ALTERNATIVE FINAL SCENES from the minds of executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse."

Lindelof and Cuse have previously promised to go into hiding after the "Lost" finale airing, and won't be live in studio.

According to ABC, "'Jimmy Kimmel Live' has been deluged by more studio audience ticket requests for this special than any show in its 7 plus year history."

Lost has been one of the highest-rated TV dramas since making its debut, in 2004, with a U.S. viewing audience that has ranged from 11 million to 23 million and a greater combined number of viewers tuning in from an estimated 160 countries around the world, but with its crazy sci-fi philosophy, head-scratching supernatural elements, and impossible-to-track plotlines, it's really a cult show at heart. Die-hard fans have learned the secret handshake, while casual viewers look in from time to time and pose questions like “Wait, did that guy just turn into smoke?”

The show belongs to Damon Lindelof more than anyone else. He is the only Lost co-creator who has had a major say in every episode from the J. J. Abrams—directed pilot onward. But even though he's the man more or less in charge of this wild beast, Lindelof suffers the same anxieties experienced by Lost devotees, who wonder, as the finale approaches, how it's all going to come out.

This is understandable, when you consider that Lindelof is the one who must bring closure to a series that started off simply enough, like a fictional Survivor, only to morph into a hairy show that has made room for time travel, an alternate universe, and more romantic entanglements than you'll find on a Telemundo soap opera.

Lindelof says he dreams about Lost all the time: “The most common dream is we have produced an episode that is catastrophically bad, and we have got to figure out a way to fix it. There's a whole series of things that are very confusing to me, and I'm like, ‘Why did we even do this?’ There have also been dreams where I'm interacting with the actors, and there's a blurring of the line as to whether or not we're in the show.”

Terry O'quinn interview on Baltimore magazine

When Terry O'Quinn isn't playing the elusive character John Locke on the acclaimed ABC show Lost, you might spot the angular, bald actor picking up groceries at The Giant across from the Maryland State Fairgrounds, eating scrambled eggs at Miss Shirley's in Roland Park, or taking a swing on the greens at Greystone Golf Course in White Hall.

After all, he's one of us, a Marylander, since the mid-1970s. And when Lost— a convoluted saga about a group of plane crash survivors who find themselves on an island full of mysteries—wraps up filming its sixth and final season in Hawaii this spring, O'Quinn, 57, will be back in his Timonium townhouse with his wife of 30 years, Lori. He'll be hanging out with friends and just being a regular guy, at least, until his next project.

There's already buzz about another TV show, perhaps pairing O'Quinn with Michael Emerson, who plays the nefarious, bug-eyed Ben on Lost. The new series, in one possible scenario, would feature O'Quinn and Emerson as suburban hit men juggling family issues, according to the TV Guide Magazine website.

It makes sense. The two actors have a soul-searing on-screen chemistry, though O'Quinn wouldn't confirm any specifics. "I have a couple of plans. It's a secret," says the actor, who spoke by phone from Hawaii while filming the waning episodes of the series. "It involves TV. I love television."

Even before the Lost finale airs May 23, a wistfulness lingers in O'Quinn's voice when he talks about John Locke, the enigmatic role he's lived and breathed for so many years. There are similarities between Locke and himself, he says.

"He's looking for something to believe in. He's like me in that he wants to be appreciated," says O'Quinn. "He's an amplification of everyone's desires."

But is John Locke good or evil? "Yes," says O'Quinn with a chuckle. "It's the most honest answer. He could be one of The Others."

Anyone who has followed Lost—or tried to—knows that The Others are a hostile, ragtag tribe of people on the island. Of course, for John Locke, the plot has gotten more complicated this season since the Smoke Monster—a roiling, undulating tube of blackness—has assumed the appearance of his supposedly dead body.

(If you're a novice watcher, don't even try and understand. In fact, regular viewers usually have no clue what's going on either. We're waiting for answers, ABC!)

At the time of the phone call, O'Quinn didn't know what was in store for his character. "They don't tell us anything. . . . I'm just a few episodes ahead of you," he says.

When O'Quinn leaves his popular TV persona behind, he'll slide into civilian life in Timonium with just a few minor tweaks.

"I think he's pretty grounded," says his wife Lori, a Reisterstown native and accomplished horse rider who reined in her husband when he needed riding lessons many years ago for a movie role. She acknowledges, though, that there is a period of adjustment when he returns to Baltimore after working in the limelight. "He comes back, and [I say], 'Let's get the trash out. Pick up this.' I have to whip him back into shape," she says, joking, sort of.

But by all accounts, the affable actor with the cat-ate-the-canary grin is not a prima donna, despite having appeared in more than a hundred stage and screen roles, and especially since he's become a household name—and even a heartthrob—in the compelling Lost, for which he won an Emmy in 2007.

"He is, still is, terrifyingly handsome," says Irene Lewis, artistic director at CenterStage. "There's a whole bedroom quality to the man."

Lewis, who came to CenterStage in the early 1990s, directed O'Quinn in plays here and in New England during his younger days. She mentions Watch on the Rhine ("He was quite brilliant in that") and The Glass Menagerie ("It was sort of a translucent performance").

The actor's appeal crosses generations, she says, sharing how her 22-year-old niece, a college senior, is a big fan of Lost and particularly of O'Quinn. When the student e-mailed him, he wrote her back. "He's just a person. He doesn't let [stardom] affect him," Lewis says.

O'Quinn downplays his Lost magnetism. "Josh [Holloway] and Evie [Evangeline Lilly], the young and the sexy, get a lot more attention," he says modestly. (He's referring to the actors who play the hunky Sawyer and gorgeous Kate on the show, a star-crossed pair if there ever was one.)
Lewis and O'Quinn have stayed friends over the years. She would love for him to appear in a play at CenterStage. "I wrote him and said, 'Before we're in wheelchairs, will you come back?'" she says.

Terry O'Quinn Interview

'Lost': Terry O'Quinn will take you behind the smoke and UnLocke a few secrets about his character


Hello??? Are you in there??? C’mon, it’s time to get out of the cave. I agree—it was fun and educational to spend a few minutes in another one of Jacob’s lairs, courtesy of UnLocke (Terry O’Quinn), but you’ve got to start preparing for Tuesday’s episode of Lost, titled “Lighthouse.” To get the scoop on what to expect in the show’s final season, skedaddle over to your nearest newsstand and pick up the latest copy of Entertainment Weekly, which features stars Matthew Fox and Emilie de Ravin on the cover. Inside, Jeff Jensen and I whisk you to the show’s set in Hawaii and satisfy your thirst for knowledge with juicy quotes from the show’s stars and producers. And we don’t come to this post empty-handed: Here’s a bonus mini-Q&A with man-of-the-hour O’Quinn, who shares his thoughts about playing the Man in Black and the Smoke Monster. After you read it, use the space below to spill your thoughts—and theories—about UnLocke.

EW: Any hints you can provide about where we’re headed in the next chunk of episodes?

TO: My guy—Smokey, as I call him—has a plan and he has an objective, and he’s working toward it. The question is, ‘Is it for his own good or for the good of everyone?’ That’s still up for debate.

EW: The Man in Black/Locke/Smokey revelation was a major advancement of the Lost mythology. How did you feel about that twist?

TO: I thought it was one of the biggest leaps that people were going to have to take, in terms of suspension of disbelief. Like, “Okay. All right then.” But they’d already been set up because you knew Christian, Jack’s dad, was walking around and things like that. Somebody said, “Did Lost jump the shark?” and I said, “Either they always have or they didn’t.” You know? It’s just one more giant leap. People seem to have taken it in stride. I was afraid that it might be asking too much of an audience to accept that, but everybody seems to be dealing with it all right, so I’m real happy with that.

EW: Is it an honor to be the Smoke Monster?

TO: Oh, yeah. It’s fun to play. I mean, it’s just totally different from whatever John Locke was. Bad guys have better secrets. And if he’s a bad guy, he’s got a lot of secrets. And that’s what frustrates people. When [Sawyer] says, “What are you?” and Smokey says, “What I am is trapped,” okay—you don’t pursue that question. Everybody else will go, “Well, what the hell does that mean? Who are you? Come on, man!” But we’re going to have to wait until another week to find that out.

EW: How did you go about playing this new character? It seems like a tricky needle to thread—as you’ve said, it’s “hard not to load things up, become arch.”

TO: Well, it is. Not because of any instruction, I chose to…. In the scene, for example, right after I told Ben I was Smokey – “I’m sorry you saw me like that”— occasionally there’s residual Locke emotions or feelings that Smokey gets that may surprise him, may irritate him, that he can’t completely control, so he’ll be smug or make fun of John Locke. Or say he was a loser and he was pathetic and he was broken. But for my own edification, I keep a little spark of John Locke alive in this being, whatever he is… so that if for any reason, anybody wants to summon that spark, it’s there. And I think sometimes Smokey’s indifference is my choice. Smokey’s puzzled by it: What is this persona he’s inhabited? Maybe it’s stronger than he thought it was. But that just gives me things to play in the scene, gives a little bit of color to a scene. And I enjoy it. He was moved when he told Ben that John Locke’s last thought was, “I don’t understand.” And he was surprised to be moved.
