Matthew Fox/Dr. Jack Shephard #37: Foxy by Name, Foxy by Nature
True Heroes are not stronger, smart or more capable than anyone.. they're just people, who don't have fear in help..in making a move.. when nobody else does. ' ' ' • Reasons Why • Our love for Dr. Jack exceeds most anything else. It's the arms and the eyes and the soft laugh. It's the desperation to do what's right even when he has no clue what's right. It's how he holds Aaron, It's how he has no fear to cry. It's his fierce loyalty to people who wouldn't know loyalty. It's how easily he cares, it's how deeply he loves and how hard he finds it to let go. It's how he's haunted, damaged, hurt and still, he never gives up. It's how he is keeping secrets for everyone and most of all his own. It's how much he sees and knows and how little he says about it. It's how he is broken and how much he hopes that things are fixable and how little he actually believes in it. That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to believe that there still exists a right and wrong that good will somehow triumph in the end ' ' ' • Quotes on Foxy • Evangeline: He's like a big brother. He took me under his wing. (Source: People Magazine) Evangeline: We call him Foxy because he is Evangeline: He's so handsome, so dashing and debonair. Evangeline: He's matured beautifully. Evangeline: Matthew is a fantastic actor. He's absolutely one of my teachers and mentors on set… I think that's one of the reasons why Matthew and I have such natural chemistry onscreen, is that I am genuinely very taken by him when he's acting. He is a very captivating actor and I think Kate is supposed to be captivated by Jack. Evangeline: I also challenged Matthew Fox to a push-up contest. I said, 'If you're gonna be my hero on the show, prove you can be.' Evangeline: My first day on the set was with Matthew Fox and Dominic Monaghan. We had an instant connection, the three of us, and became instant buddies. We had an amazing time filming the pilot together and are very close.(Source: Lost, the Official Magazine) Wentworth Miller: "I have a little fantasy where in the last episode of the season, we slip into the prison's sewer system, up through the grate, and pop out a hatch - and we're face to face with Matthew Fox and spend season 2 on a tropical beach." Jimmy Kimmel: "Let me just say that I would be done with the show if they kill you [Foxy] off the show. That would be too much. Because there's a certain line that you don't go past and you, my friend are it for me." (Source: Matt's Kimmel appearance May 11, 2007) Damon Lindelof: “He’s a jock and a hard-core tattooed dude, and he’s sensitive, and he’s a dad and the guy you want to get *******-housed with. It’s all the same guy. You can have man-love with Foxy, and it’s all good.” (Source unknown) Damon Lindelof: "His house has become a mecca for all the other actors. He opens the door for everyone to come over on Sundays to barbecue right on the beach." Damon Lindelof: "Matthew has elevated crying to an art, where somehow it's a form of badassness. He never cries because he's sad. He cries because he wants to hit someone. I can't think of any other hero characters who have cried. If Patrick Dempsey cried on Grey's Anatomy, people would be like, 'Meredith, do not waste your time with that crybaby." (Source: TIME Magazine, February 2007) McG: "He understands stillness, which is a rare trait in an age of big performances." (Source: TIME Magazine, February 2007) ' ' ' When the will defies fear, when duty throws the gauntlet down to fate when honor scorns to compromise with death - that is heroism ' ' ' • Quotes From Foxy • While Jack has taken on a leadership position, Fox has assumed a similar role. "I felt that both on-screen and off," he says, "being No. 1 on the daily call sheet and having the most amount of work to do, there's a responsibility that goes along with it. We had a lot of production issues to iron out this year, so we were running into obstacles quite frequently, just getting a big beast of a show running as efficiently as we possibly can. "Along with that comes a lot of frustration on people's parts at times. The cast, across the board, has been wonderful the whole year, but certainly there have been allegiances and things that have built up among the cast. It's almost my responsibility, in the position I'm in, to make a conscious decision to be there for anybody that has problems or wants to hang out." (Source: Zap2it, May 2005) "I enjoy taking my clothes off and jumping in the water," Fox says. "I'm not going to worry about getting changed into a swimsuit at 2 o'clock in the morning. I really wanted to get people together, get them partying. I wanted them to take their clothes off and jump in the water. I thought that would be a good bonding experience for all of us, which it was. It was great fuel for ribbing and incessant bulls**ting with each other." (Source: Zap2it, May 2005) "It's always something I've loved about the way Damon and J.J. were writing this character, that he's our hero, he's our guy, but he's also the kind of guy that, if he let himself go to the dark place, could do real serious snappage on a guy like Sawyer." "I’ve never really done a complete nude scene. Looking forward to that, actually, considering that I like to get naked all the time. That should be pretty easy." (Source: Extra! March 2007) "I'm a liar and a cheat and a thief and the ultimate manipulator. You can never believe a f*ing word that comes out of my mouth. I tell lies everyday, man. And when I say I'm phenomenally manipulative, I am." (Source: Men's Journal, February 2007) "The John Wayne idea was what a man wanted to be--not what a man is. I'd rather watch a person be full of intense emotions and fighting [against] expressing them." (Source: TIME Magazine, February 2007) ' ' ' Jack believes in right and wrong with a passion, goes the extra mile, puts himself out for others, likes to believe that people are worthy of consideration unless they prove otherwise. He believes the best in people, loves deeply, works hard and as Kate said, "If you weren't here, Jack..." ' ' ' • Jack Quotes • Fears's sort of an odd thing it's like an in-law who just drops in. You don't like it, but you can't just get rid of it. It's a struggle, but you have to learn to deal with it or it'll make you insane. When i was in residency, my first solo procedure was a spinal surgery on a sixteen year-old kid.a girl. At the end of it, thirteen hours later, I was closing her up and I... I accidentally ripped her dural sack, membrane as thin as tissue. So it ripped open, the nerves just spilled out like like angel hair pasta, her spinal fluid flowing out and I just..froze. 'Cause I knew. If i didn't get those nerves back in that sack and sew it up..those thirteen hours were for nothing. That girl would be paralyzed. I had about a minute. And the terror was so..crazy, so real..and i knew i had to deal with it. So i just made a choice. I'd let the fear in. Let it take over. Let it do it's thing. But only for five seconds. That's all i was gonna give it. So i started to count.1.2.3.4.5.. And it was gone. I got back to work, sewed her up, she was fine.. • I want you to listen to me ok? Because I'm asking you a favor. Chrissy, I am standing in front of you in the same suit that I'm wearing to my father's funeral, and I'm asking you a favor. In 16 hours I need to land in L.A.X. and I need that coffin to clear customs because there is going to be a hearse waiting there. And I need that hearse to take me and that coffin to a cemetery. Why? Chrissy, why can't I just bring him to a funeral home and make all the arrangements? Why can't I really take my time with it? Because--because I need it to be done. I need it to be over. I just--I need to bury my father. It's been 6 days, and we're all still waiting...waiting for someone to come. But what if they don't? We have to stop waiting. We need to start figuring things out...We can't do this. Every man for himself is not gonna work. It's time to start organizing. We need to figure out how we're going to survive here. Now, I found water, fresh water, up in the valley. I'll take a group in at first light. If you don't wanna come, then you find another way to contribute. Last week most of us were strangers. But we're all here now. And God knows how long we're gonna be here. But... if we can't live together, we're gonna die alone. • -I'm intense -What .... no ketchup?! -I'm a repo man. You know, when people don't pay their bills I go into the bank and collect their possessions. I'm a people person so I really love it. -Is she .... is she happy? -Who's x-rays are those? Outside? Those are spinal x-rays. They belong to a man about 40 years old. And whoever he is, he has a very large tumor on his L-4 vertebrae. And I just happen to be a spinal surgeon. So, you tell me, Juliet, who am I here to save? -Well Ben, at least you won't have to be disappointed for very long. -Kate, dammit,RUN!!! -Promise me, that you'll never come back here for me -After everything that I've been put through...you owe me an answer -I trust them, because you told me to,Kate -The fact that I trust her should be enough -So tomorrow night, we stop hiding, we stop running, we stop living in fear of them. Because when they show up. We're gonna blow em all to hell. - For 90 days I've been asked to make decision for this entire camp. there you go.I just made one. -Because I love you. -Every little bump we hit or turbulence, I mean I--I actually close my eyes and pray that I can get back. -We made a mistake. We were not supposed to leave. We have to go back, Kate. ' ' ' Greatness comes not when things go good, greatness comes when you are really tested, when disappointments and sadness come. Because only if you have been in the deepest valleys can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.

And the shirt with the open buttons. And the hands. The hairline. We need another photoshoot like this one.

I think it's the aviators. That's what gets me. He is just working those to their absolute limit. Plus, everything else.

He does have a knack for wearing aviators well. And for laying on motorcycles well.
