Abrams’ “Lost” almost had a completely different cast

Story

Survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island… J.J. See which A-listers didn’t make it into one of the most popular TV shows of all time. Sawyer’s character was originally supposed to be an older, handsome, suit-wearing urban crook from Buffalo, NY. But when Josh Holloway forgot a line during auditions and then kicked a chair in frustration and swore loudly, the writers liked the edge he gave Sawyer’s character and decided to write Sawyer as a more Southern, darker drifter.

Edited for Lost: The Journey (2005)

Jin and Sun are married and share the last name “Kwon,” which becomes a major plot point in the final season. But when Koreans get married, the wife never takes her husband’s last name. In fact, in Korea, it’s not even allowed to marry with the same last name, except in rare circumstances.. [repeated line] Desmond Hume: See you in the next life, bro. Abrams carried a laptop in black and white as a tribute to The Twilight Zone..

That’s a valid concern, but in the case of “Lost,” it’s completely unfounded

At first blush, "Lost" seems like an impossible concept: a bunch of people stranded on a mysterious island. How many plot lines can you take from that before the idea completely dries up? "Lost" Unlike many shows today, where the plot drives the characters, it’s actually the opposite: the characters drive the plot. This isn’t "CSI" or "Law & Order" where every week is a variation on the same theme. “Lost,”" you have a group of charmingly different, tragically flawed characters who must somehow learn to survive together while simultaneously trying to hide their secrets.

It’s a disaster method

After living together for a long time, the characters will learn that it’s impossible to keep their pasts a secret. Yes, there’s a monster on the island. Yes, there are mysterious events. Yes, there’s a sense of dread often in the air. But to me, the external problems presented by the island itself are NOTHING compared to the INTERNAL problems the characters have to deal with, both within themselves and with others.

And it’s fascinating to watch

That’s where the REAL drama is.
