Naveen Andrews on IGN FilmForce
Lost Cast Interviews - Todd Gilchrist
A to Z (well, P) with the castaways from the hit series.
IGN DVD: What are your favorite extras on the DVD?
Naveen Andrews: I haven't seen it yet, and I hope to be given a free copy at least. Isn't that why we're here? Who's got a free copy? No, I look forward to it because what I've heard is they use film of us coming for auditions - and I never agreed to that.
IGN: Were you disappointed by the lack of inform,ation given at the end of Season One?
Andrews: We have to sustain the audience's interest and if you give too much away, as I've learned, it's like you come too quickly. You can't give the audience too much. You have to keep them wanting more, and Damon is extremely good at doing that on many different levels. It's frustrating I'm sure, and sometime it's frustrating to play, that but he has to do it. It's TV.
IGN: How do you think will new cast members will affect the dynamic of the set?
Andrews: I think we're just at the beginning. I think we're just about to take off in terms of where we can go. Now we have an audience, and I think the network will be much more relaxed about letting us go in certain direction than maybe they would have been before.
IGN: Were you concerned about relocating to Hawaii, since anyone's character can die at any time?
Andrews: I think we all had that as a concern. That monster there is like a producer's dream, isn't it? Any one of us could get bumped off at any time and we're all aware of it. It keeps you on your toes.
IGN: What's the toughest part of being on the show?
Andrews The fact that you have to sustain a performance over 10 months playing the same character. It's a discipline. There's a temptation to try and come up with new, fresh ways of playing the character that may not necessarily be true to the character just for the sake of doing it. So I think it requires a great discipline not to.
