Lost from The Wire



Great to see LOST back on the air this past week, the first episode of the new season (four) gave me hope that maybe it won't all turn out to be a pile of turd. Especially good to see actor Lance Reddick aka Colonel Cedric Daniels from my other favorite show The Wire make a guest appearance as a (possible) Oceanic Airlines attorney / (possible) evil man who visits Hurley in the mental hospital. Word is Reddick is also featured in next weeks episode.

Lost's producer's revealed to Entertainment Weekly "We had been interested in Lance back when we were casting the Mr. Eko part, but he was unavailable due to The Wire. That's how we started circling around Adewale [Akinnuoye-Agbaje, who ultimately took the role]. When a window of opportunity arose after the recent season of The Wire, we jumped on it, with a part that seemed right for his complete focus and intensity."
