Lost Official Podcast 25 Oct 2006
October 25th 2006 19:49
The Lost podcast for 25 October 2006 was short--less than seven minutes long. Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse didn't show up for it, the host said, because they were filming a television show. Go figure.
The actor this week was Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, who plays Mr. Eko. He spoke about the challenges of playing such a complicated character. He likes playing a character that stays away from stereotypes and whose emotions run the gamut. He feels Eko has a redemptive quality about him that makes people like him despite his past.
The story arc of "The 23rd Psalm" lost a little authenticity, Mr. Akinnuoye-Agbaje said, because the kidnapping of children by gang leaders doesn't happen in Nigeria. It happens more often on the other side of Africa in Mozambique and around there. But it did keep quite a bit of authenticity in that the locals acting in that episode spoke Yoruba and used their own customs and dress.
The thing that especially keeps Adewale interested in Eko as a character is that he could be gone the next day. The same is true of any of the characters on Lost. He said there is every sort of demon and devil imaginable on that island and new foes and problems arise continuously. Mr. Akinnuoye-Agbaje said, "...you don't know who's gonna get swallowed and whether you would defeat that foe. More of that is going to be appearing in season three."
Interesting final comment. More conflict. More foes. It seems things will get very complicated very soon.
