PO5 Hottie Gets Lost
By Shawna Malcom
TV Guide Online: How did you get involved in Lost?
Matthew Fox: I came in and [auditioned]. At that point, the script was very confidential. Nobody was really getting a chance to read it. I don't usually go into auditions or meetings until I've read the material, but my agents and managers said, "This is really gonna be a big one. It's J.J. Abrams." So I went in, and J.J. took me to an office and gave me the script. I sat down to read it, but he kept running into the room every 20 minutes going, "What do you think?" I was like, "You gotta give me a chance to finish it!" [Laughs] It was such a page-turner. I said I'd play anyone, it was just so fantastic. J.J. said, "I really think you're Jack."
