TitusBWelliver

One that stands out is despite the fact that I was aware of the popularity of LOST, I was not aware of the importance of my character as it works with the entire show. On one particular day, we were rehearsing a scene on-set in which I have the line "I am the black smoke." And after I read that, Nester Carbonell looked at me and said "wow." And I was baffled. And he responded "You understand what you just said?" And I said "Yeah." And Nester said "I don't think you do. Saying 'I am the black smoke' is like Darth Vader saying 'No Luke, I am your father.'"

That's when it really hit me.

I still had a very very big beard from Deadwood, when I met with Ben Affleck. Because the character was written as older than I was at the time, Ben and I discussed the facial hair options.

I chose to have that mustache because I felt that it really was in a way a bit of a metaphor for a man hiding behind something, keeping a secret. But it was also an homage to my good friend Sam Elliott, who has, in my opinion, the best mustache in film history.

I don't know that it was to serve any negativity. I think it was more of an opportunity to put a smile on the fan's faces.

Sorry but that's just the simple answer, they never did.

No.
