The Lawnmower Man is the newest island dweller: Jeff Fahey—who was most recently in “Grindhouse”—was “just officially added to the show.”:http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20053479,00.html
The producers wouldn’t say what character Fahey will play, but I’m not the only one who immediately “guessed Jacob.”:http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/08/28/jeff-fahey-gets-lost/
Come on, after checking out this picture, who wouldn’t think that?
Need more evidence to support that theory? Check out what I found on “Lostpedia”:http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Main_Page after the break…
Click here for Lostpedia’s entry for “Jacob”:http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Jacob and scroll down to the “images and voice” section.
The site claims—though it doesn’t cite a source—that Jacob was “played” by the show’s prop master Rob Kyker and his voice was producer Carlton Cuse’s.
What does that mean to me? Well, since producers have said in other interviews that we’ll be seeing more of Jacob in the upcoming season, it seems reasonable that they’ll have to actually cast a regular in the part.
Unless Jacob will continue to be someone who only Locke can see, except for when Jacob gets really, really mad and then the viewers can, too. That is, when they TiVo the show and play the scene in super slo-mo.
And speaking of slo-mo, a fan uploaded the slowed-down scene. Check it out here:
Before I go, here’s a tidbit of trivia for those who love behind-the-scenes info as much as I do.
Read “this story”:http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2007/Aug/21/il/hawaii708210307.html that ran recently in the Honolulu Advertiser. It’s about the show’s poor extras casting director Julie Carlson.
She’s charged with the hellish task of finding a new baby Aaron every time Claire’s tyke is needed for a scene.
What? You thought island magic was keeping that wee towhead an infant forever?

Now THAT is one heckuva beard.
That’s your goal, right, Rickey?
Pretty much, yeah. The idea is to grow the most socially deviant beard possible. That fellow’s definitely comes close.
