For some of the artists, participation in the project was a start not only in their professional activities, but also in their personal lives. What are the actors who played the main roles doing now? And how did participation in this large-scale TV project affect them?

According to the plot, 48 passengers of the plane, who survived after its crash, are forced to be on a desert island, adapt to new living conditions, trying to stay alive. But, once in this place, none of them had any idea that they would face the unknown. ATfor 6 seasons, each character will think: “Why did fate bring him to his comrades in misfortune on this deserted island?” Among the surviving passengers were: a pregnant woman, an officer, a paraplegic, a rocker, a criminal, a doctor and other characters of the Lost project.

The actors of the series are now admitting that the scriptwriters carefully concealed even from them the content of future episodes, everyone received only that part of the script in which their characters are present, the creators even tried to do without spoilers in commercials. With each series, the intrigue grew, the plot became more and more confusing and no one was immune from disappearing from the project.

The final episode of the series made a lot of noise, scored a lot of conflicting responses, but the creators believe that they did everything right.

Matthew Fox as Jack Shepard

Fox, who tried his hand at the role of Sawyer, ended up playing Dr. Jack Shepard in the series.
