Is There Life After Lost for Fox?

Leading man material, Fox looks forward to time off

Share

(Newser) – Watching his handsome mug on screen, it's easy to see Lost star Matthew Fox following George Clooney's footsteps and moving easily from small screen to big. And while the 42-year-old actor is indeed looking forward to the end of the series and a switch to movie roles, the down-to-earth Ivy Leaguer seems genuine when he says he could take it or leave it, writes Peter Richmond in Details.

"I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't think I could," says Richmond of achieving movie success. "If the opportunities I get excited by keep coming, I'm going to continue working in this business. If they don't, then there are other things in my life I'd like to take on." These include "hobbies that seem to belong in back issues of Boys' Life," notes Richmond, especially cars and flying. Either way, Lost is probably his last TV role.

I've always been into cars. Cars are part of our genetic makeup... My little boy, he's 7, he plays with Matchbox cars, does the sound effects and everything. He dressed up as Racer X for Halloween. One of the highlights of my life. - Matthew Fox

I owe this show a great amount, and I think it's exceptionally good . . . [but] I am looking forward to the freedom that comes with not working on one project professionally. - Matthew Fox

All of us knew that if the show was strung out indefinitely, it was going to ruin the story. It's not like a doctor drama, where you have a new case each week.
- Matthew Fox

You won't be seeing Matthew on TV anymore, you'll see him in big movies.
- Carlton Cuse, Lost's co-executive producer and cowriter.

Lost can just script him out if he so chooses. The series can go on forever, in my opinion, with or without Fox. Reply

I try watching this drivel. I wondered aloud "Where is the script? What happened to the direction? What happened to the actors acting abilities?" Then I realize WHY its called "Lost" Reply
