Abrams’ “Lost” almost had a completely different cast
Plot
Survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island. See which celebrities missed out on one of the most popular TV shows of all time. The character Sawyer was originally conceived as an older, street-smart, suit-wearing city hustler from Buffalo, NY.
However, when Koreans marry, the wife never takes her husband’s last name
However, when Josh Holloway forgot his lines during his audition and then kicked a chair in frustration and swore loudly, the writers liked the edge he brought to the character Sawyer and decided to write Sawyer as more of a darker Southern drifter. The Suns are married and share the last name “Kwon,” which becomes a major plot point in the final season. In fact, in Korea, it’s not even legal to marry someone with the same family name, except in rare cases.

[repeated line] Desmond Hume: See you in another life, brother. The eerie opening credits were written by J.J. Abrams on his laptop in black and white as a homage to The Twilight Zone.
It’s amazing how well the show has aged
Watching it again, some of the storylines made a lot more sense too. In fact, I think the ending makes a lot more sense now. This was completely unknown to me when I first watched Lost.
