Nope, it was Phoebe. He kept analyzing them and she eventually dumped him because of it. "I hate that guy."

Actor-producer takes recurring role on ABC series

Fisher Stevens

Funny a lot of people remember him as the Indian(India) in Short Circuit 1-2

The guy on the satellite phone in last season's "Lost" finale will be more than just a voice come next year.

Actor and producer Fisher Stevens has taken a recurring role on the ABC series. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Stevens will play a character named Minkowski. He is somehow connected to Marsha Thomason's Naomi, who brought the satellite phone onto the island and who says she's part of a ship's crew there to rescue the crash survivors.

Viewers know that Naomi is lying about her claim that Penny Widmore (Sonya Walger) is backing the rescue effort, but the show hasn't tipped its hand as to who actually is behind it. A number of "Lost" fan sites have also seized on the name of Stevens' character, noting that he shares it with Hermann Minkowski, a German physicist who theorized that time exists as a fourth dimension in the early 20th century.

The role will be Stevens' first TV appearance in several years

I thought he was dead!

Man, I so had him on my list of dead celebrities.

He was the dude off of Early Edition, right?

Jasonsgurl310 · 10-14-2007, 09:22 PM

Yea he was on it. That was what I recognized him from. Man that was a good show.

**Carlie06** · 10-14-2007, 09:28 PM

It was! I would watch that and Walker, Texas Ranger every Saturday at my cousin's house.

I still don't know why I thought he was dead.

'Lost' found by G4, Sci Fi Channel - Entertainment News, TV News, Media - Variety

'Lost' found by G4, Sci Fi Channel
Disney-ABC makes bulky deal with networks
By JOSEF ADALIAN

"Lost" will soon be found on G4 and Sci Fi Channel.

Cablers have pacted with Disney-ABC Domestic Television for off-net rights to all six planned seasons of ABC's hit thriller, with segs scheduled to begin airing next September.

G4 will have Monday-Friday strip rights to the show (along with some weekend plays), while Sci Fi will air the skein Monday nights as a stack of four episodes from 7-11 p.m.

It's believed the deal will net Disney roughly $200,000 per episode, with Sci Fi's deal accounting for some 75% of the total per-episode license fee.

In what's becoming an increasingly common component, both cablers will also be able to stream a certain number of "Lost" episodes on their respective websites. G4 will also have exclusive cable weekend rights to the series.

Acquisition of "Lost" reps the second major off-net purchase by G4 in recent weeks. It's also locked up both repurposing and syndie rights to NBC's "Heroes."

G4 prexy Neal Tiles said both skeins are slam dunks for his net, which targets men 18-34.

"The stars aligned for us in terms of their availability and our ability to pursue them," he told Daily Variety. "It's not easy to find shows that perfectly align with your audience's taste.

Tiles said G4 will air an unedited version of "Lost," as well as a modified "2.0" version of the skein featuring interactive and Web-based elements. G4 has previously offered similarly enhanced versions of skeins including "Star Trek" and "Cops."

Indeed, when Disney pitched "Lost" to G4, "They told us that the executive producers of the show had seen what we'd done with '2.0' before and thought it was the perfect application for 'Lost,'" Tile said. "That really caught my attention and made ('Lost') a lot more interesting for us."

"Lost" will also give Sci Fi another platform on which to launch its expanded offering of scripted skeins. That includes "Code Monkeys," the animated comedy which Tiles confirmed will be returning for another season.

G4 has ordered 13 additional segs of the show. Second season will premiere April 20. Adam De La Pena ("I'm With Busey") created and exec produces "Code Monkeys."

"It performed extremely well for us," Tiles said. "It was pure 18-34 (in viewers)."

Over at Sci Fi, senior VP of programming Thomas Vitale said "Lost" is the type of show that will benefit from Sci Fi's "stacked" approach of offering four-episode marathons of a show once a week.

"It's an ongoing story, and I think the best lead-in for 'Lost' is 'Lost,' " he said, calling the show one of the most notable syndie purchases ever for Sci Fi.

"It's got the quality, cultural relevance and the ratings that make it the ideal off-net show for us," he said. "And it appeals to both our core fan base, as well as a broader audience."

And while details have yet to be worked out, Vitale called the pact's provision allowing Sci Fi to stream segs on its websites "precedent-setting for us."

G4 and Sci Fi will also benefit from the unique scheduling pattern for future seasons of "Lost." ABC is now planning to air original episodes between February and May, which means G4 and Sci Fi will be the exclusive TV homes of the show during the fall and early winter seasons.

Awesome! They should've done this sooner. We could be rewatching s3 on SCI-FI right now.

I can't believe it. Daniel Dae Kim just got arrested for a DUI. This is neverending.

Sawyer&Kate · 10-26-2007, 03:08 AM

I just read it.

I can't believe it either.

Liz01 · 10-26-2007, 07:15 AM

What is wrong with this show?? At least his mugshot looks better than MR and CW's.

"Lost" star Daniel Dae Kim has issued the following statement to TMZ: "I am deeply ashamed and embarrassed by the events of Thursday morning. It saddens me to know that I jeopardized the welfare of the kind people of Hawaii, a community that I love and call my home. It is my intention to cooperate fully with the police and I am grateful to them for their sensitivity throughout this matter. To my friends, family, colleagues and fans, thank you for your kind words of support. To those I have disappointed I can only ask that you accept my heartfelt apologies."

Kim was arrested early Thursday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence in Hawaii.

Dude, I can't believe Daniel has a mugshot! What the frak is up with this cast and DUI's? It's uncanny. I hope Jin doesn't fall off a cliff next season.

I was watching the Heroes marathon on G4 and they showed a commercial advertising LOST for next fall. Good job G4

Nothing new in a commercial?
