I got one question. How exactly did Evi even decide to start acting? I know she did a lot of jobs in order to save some money, even being the extra on sets of shows such as Smallville and Tru Calling, but it takes a lot of courage and desire to audition for a lead role in a JJ Abrams' show. What made her take that decision?

hmm I don't know if this is answers your question, but...

LOST - LILLY'S LOST AUDITION WAS A 'PSYCHOLOGICAL EXERCISE'

LOST star EVANGELINE LILLY stumbled into acting while she was "doing a psychological exercise" by going to auditions.
The 29-year-old simply wanted to challenge her fears of acting up in front of the harshest critics when she discovered she had a talent for the craft. She explains, "I had no intention for it to connect to a job. So when I got a job, I had to sit down and go, 'Do I want to be an actor?'"

Lilly reveals the job she landed was her role as Kate Austen on Lost. Before her acting took off, the pretty star dreamed of becoming a flight attendant. She adds, "I wanted to see the world, and I didn't have money. I was living on tea and peanut butter... so I went and I did the flight attendant training."

But her high-flying dreams didn't last long: "I did the job for one month and I quit."

Oh yes, it most definitely does! Thank you!

I just love how spiritual she is, always gives credit to her inner side.

great thread...
she also said a friend of hers told her she was so beautiful that she should work as model or something.

Great thread idea.

I think a friend asked her what she was afraid of and Evi decided to give acting a try.
