Armchair Casting Director: 'Lost'

Team Darlton is on the prowl for an “interesting” actor in his 30s to 40s to play…

Seamus: A scientist with some physicality to him, this guy’s not afraid to take charge and give orders. Recurring potential.

Casting suggestions? Theories as to who Seamus really is? Head to the comments!

    ADRIAN PASDAR.

    No?

    • Zach

      Adrian Pasdar is a good idea. But I think Skeet Ulrich would be great. He had the physicality down in Jericho he could definetly look like a scientist as well.

  • Dominique

    Adrian Pasdar might be a good option yes, now that he’s been let go from Heroes. Maybe Balthazar Getty? I could totally see him in a role like that.

  • Jess

    Part of the Dharma team in Ann Arbor, perhaps?

    • typeg98

      James Spader. He would make a great bossy scientist and would love to see him argue against michael emerson – maybe order him around. I thought he did a great job on BL during his closing aurguements. Plus he looks like he could be a Seamus. But if “physicallity” means beefiness then I’m not so sure.

  • BCote

    Nathan Fillion?

    • Willo

      Already had a role on LOST.

      • ktwolf

        He did? How did I miss THAT?

      • Simone

        Yes, he was Kate’s husband in “I Do”.

  • Willo

    Carlos Bernard

  • steve

    Vic Mackey aka Michael Chiklis

  • Lisa

    If he’s being called Seamus he’s probably Irish so my only wish is that whoever’s cast can do a decent Irish accent

    • Mai

      Liam Cunningham would be perfect.

    • Q

      Jason O’Mara from Life on Mars. Hottest Irishman on Earth.

      • Sara

        I’ll second that.

      • C

        Ooooo. Good choice!

      • Jen

        Yeah

      • riann

        brilliant idea!

  • Julia.T

    ADRIAN PASDAR would be AWESOME!

  • Kate

    The number of guys around here (Massachusetts) named Seamus doesn’t require an Irish accent. Everyone I know seems to know a different Seamus. It is also a popular middle name that people think is cooler to say than the James, Stephen or Michael most guys seem to be named. I am betting he is the “good” guy in Ann Arbor, maybe a lot like Jack from the first season.

  • Ryan

    Liev Schreiber?

  • Andie

    Alexis Denisof. Then again, I want him to be in every show in existence.

    • Jackie

      I hear ya, Andie, I hear ya (says the girl who named her cat Wesley). I think he could do very well on Lost.

  • MikeB

    Lost often puts fake names out for casting calls so the character may not be irish at all.

  • Bill

    George Wendt

    • Bill

      Sorry I meant Damien Lewis from Life. Great Actor!!!

      • T

        I like this idea 100%!

      • tdunf

        totally agree, but i can see where you got him confused with george wendt. ;-)

      • Nate

        Agreed. Since Charlie Crews has disappeared my “Life” has been “Lost”. (Sorry…)

      • Laura

        Great idea! I totally agree!!

      • Steve

        agreed. loves me some damion lewis

  • Sean

    Vincent D’Onofrio or J.K Simmons would be great actors for any role and I would love to see them on Lost’s final season.

  • Hmmm

    How recurring can it be with only one season left? And not even a whole a season?
    I am interested about all these characters they seem to be adding though. I am looking forward but also dreading the season starting because that would mean it’s almost over.

    • Michael

      Recurring is actually a term applied to a season, not the entire show. So a recurring role for Season 6 is just that – a recurring role within Season 6…as in you would be back for more than a few episodes, spread out over the season.

      Richard was a recurring role in S3 and S5 for example, then became a regular for S6.

      And not sure what you mean by “not even a whole season”. Lost is getting 18 hours this year, and that is a full season by the standards that ABC agreed upon when the show’s ending was determined.

      • ashlee

        I’m sure they mean that because filming has already started in Hawaii for S6, the character wouldn’t be there for ALL of S6.
