TFTNT!

2 new interviews! Thanks Claudia for the translation:

Quote:

TVMania: Does it get difficult after a while to play the same character for so long? Do you ever get bored with Jack and Lost?

MF: No. Lost has been a very special experience for me. Jack is a character who's continously changing and goes through a lot of challenges he has to face so it's never felt like I'm stuck in a rut. I don't get bored: I think the fact that the show has this narrative structure helps, it feels like it's headead somewhere, it's not like playing a doctor in a medical show where pretty much the same things happen every week.

TVMania: Would you and Jack be friends if he were a real person?

MF: I think so. The circumstances he finds himself in and his experiences... they influence Jack's nature a lot. He's not necessarily a good guy. Damon Lindelof and I have wanted from the beginning to make him a hero and then destroy him. So he becomes an alcoholic and drug addict, he's suicidal and ultimately he tries to find a way to recover. We've tried to give him built in flaws because Jack is essentially a flawed guy. He's also very intense, he takes responsibility for protecting those around him, he's relentless. I think in a normal day to day existence, Jack would be a pretty cool guy. It's my job to defend him. I like him so I defend him.

TVMania: Are you afraid of being typecast as the Jack persona in the future? Do you worry it might limit your options?

MF: No. I've actually played very different characters in the last few years, I've found my way. I'm actually very happy that within Lost, Jack goes through a lot of changes so I get to do a lot of different things with the character. I'm not worried at all.

TVMania: Rumor has it that you're the only cast members who knows how the show is going to end. Is that true?

MF: I do know how the show is going to end because I've been talking about Jack and the story with Damon and I know the overall picture: it's going to be beautiful, sad and redemptive. Jack will find his peace. I've put five years of my life into the show so I can't wait. I don't know who else knows the final images of the show because I haven't discussed them with anybody else.

TVMania: How do you picture life without Lost?

MF: I can't wait for it! The show's been an amazing experience, I intend to enjoy every single episode left and I can't wait to see it all come together. But at the same time, I'm looking forward to a life without Lost.

TVMania: Do you have any solid plans for the future?

MF: Actors don't really do those much, but I'm looking forward to finding some good offers and working with the right kind of directors.

TVMania: No more television?

MF: No. I've already spent 12 years in television and while it's been great, it's also been time consuming. I'm looking forward to spending three months immersed in a project and then having time to spend with my family. I want to have more control over my time and the projects I do , it's very important for me.

TVMania: People usually asociate beaches with vacations and relaxation. You've been living in HI for five years with your family. When you look at a beach, do you automatically think of work?

MF: Yeah, pretty much. I'm looking forward to moving back to the mountains and four seasonal climate.

TVMania: When's your last day of Lost?

MF: At some point in April 2010 when we're shooting the two hour show finale.

Quote:

SM: Aside from Jack, who is your favorite Lost character?

MF: Hurley. I think Jorge Garcia does a fabulous job with the character and we always have so much fun when we shoot scenes together. I love his character and I'd love to be able to play a purely comedic character one day. I only get drama offers, rarely any comedies, unfortunately Jack doesn't really have funny scenes in Lost.

SM: Do you think Jack will find peace one day and quiet down his inner demons?

MF: Jack is a truly tortured soul and he's back on the Island because he feels the need to redeem himself. Jack's a broken man, but I think he'll find redemption from now on and by the end of the show.

SM: Do you think Jack and Kate could get back together and have a future together?

MF: No, I never found the couple to be credible. I find it hard to believe they'll go back to falling in each other's arms.

SM: How would you describe Jack's state of mind in season 5?

MF: Jack doesn't want to control everything anymore and to think that he can influence his own destiny. He's gone from being a man of science to being a man of faith. Thanks to Locke, Jack is now convinced that he's got a mission to accomplish on the Island.

SM: Is Jack going to be pitted against Ben in the last season of Lost?

MF: No, he's going to have a much stronger enemy to deal with. But I can't go into details because the producers are going to probably send their men in black here to kidnap me and silence me. [laughs] But I can make it up to you with one scoop: throughout the last season, the flashbacks will stop and the story will be told in a linear manner without any more time jumping.

SM: Since you know how the show is going to end, can you tell us if fans will be happy with the ending?

MF: I think so. This last season looks like it's going to be fantastic and the ending is going to live up to the public's expectations. But I'm aware that there's different expectations among the fans so it's going to be impossible to please everyone. But on the other hand, the ending is going to be very tight, it's going to keep you glued to the screen. All the puzzle pieces are going to come together. I know people have at times doubted the writers' ability to answer all the question they've raised over the years. But trust me, they're going to do it. This last season is going to prove that they've known where they were going from the very beginning. The end is going to be both sad, beautiful and liberating.

**Lostbeth** · 06-27-2009, 01:43 PM

interesting stuff about next season. & Jack.

a bigger enemy huh? Flocke?

You've the source for that interview linked somewhere Luka?

lulinha_k · 06-27-2009, 01:46 PM

They´re printed mags. Claudia bought them I believe. TVMania has Foxy on the cover but it´s an old pic.

**Lostbeth** · 06-27-2009, 02:02 PM

Damnit. I hate old pics.

She'll be posting the caps?

lulinha_k · 06-27-2009, 02:05 PM

I dont really think so, since it´s in another language and all...

I know some people have problems with what he said but I think he is spot on in everything he said in he lastest interviews (not only these two). He talked to Damon before he started his trip, and I am feeling more and more that season 6 will be the Jack Season once for all, and that great things are ahead. Jack and Christian relationship, Jack finding Claire, Jack x Flocke. I cant wait!
