A Decade Later: Where Are the Lost Cast Members Now?

It’s hard to believe that it has been over a decade since the groundbreaking TV series Lost first premiered in 2004. The show captivated audiences with its mysterious island, complex characters, and mind-bending plot twists. In honor of Lost‘s 10-year anniversary, let’s take a trip down memory lane and see what the most important members of the Lost cast have been up to since the series ended.

Matthew Fox (Jack Shephard)

Matthew Fox, who played the troubled doctor Jack Shephard, was arguably the star of the show. Since Lost ended, Fox has appeared in films such as Alex Cross and World War Z. He also has two films, Welcome to Harmony and Bone Tomahawk, set to be released in the coming year. However, for the most part, Fox has kept a relatively low profile since the series ended.

Josh Holloway (James “Sawyer” Ford)

Josh Holloway, who portrayed the charming con man Sawyer, has continued to find success in both film and television. After appearing in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and Battle of the Year, Holloway landed a leading role in the CBS series Intelligence. Although the show was canceled after one season, Holloway quickly bounced back with a lead role in the USA Network sci-fi pilot from Lost showrunner Carlton Cuse.

Evangeline Lilly (Kate Austen)

Evangeline Lilly, who played the resourceful and enigmatic Kate Austen, has continued to find success in both acting and writing. In addition to penning her own children’s book, The Squickerwonkers, Lilly starred in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. She also appeared as Hope Van Dyne in Marvel’s Ant-Man, further solidifying her status as a genre actress.

Jorge Garcia (Hugo “Hurley” Reyes)

Jorge Garcia, who played the lovable Hurley, has continued to find steady work in television. After starring in the short-lived Fox series Alcatraz, Garcia guest-starred on shows like Once Upon a Time, Californication, and Hawaii Five-0 (where he was eventually promoted to series regular). Garcia also has three films set to be released next year.

Terry O’Quinn (John Locke)

Terry O’Quinn, who portrayed the enigmatic John Locke, has had a more difficult time finding consistent work since Lost ended. He had starring roles on the short-lived ABC supernatural series 666 Park Avenue and Fox’s Gang Related, both of which were canceled. However, he has also had recurring roles on Hawaii Five-0 alongside fellow Lost cast member Daniel Dae Kim.

Naveen Andrews (Sayid Jarrah)

Naveen Andrews, who played the tortured former Iraqi soldier Sayid Jarrah, was most recently seen in the canceled ABC spin-off series Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. His next major project is the Netflix sci-fi series Sense8, which is currently filming and set to premiere in 2015.

Daniel Dae Kim (Jin-Soo Kwon)

Daniel Dae Kim, who portrayed the stoic Jin-Soo Kwon, remained in Hawaii after Lost ended and landed a series regular role on the CBS remake of Hawaii Five-0. Kim has remained a major character on the show since its premiere in 2010, even getting the chance to work with former Lost cast members like Terry O’Quinn and Henry Ian Cusick.

Yunjin Kim (Sun-Hwa Kwon)

Yunjin Kim, who played Sun-Hwa Kwon, took a brief hiatus from acting after Lost ended. She returned to television in 2013 with a series regular role on the ABC summer soap Mistresses. Kim has remained a regular cast member throughout the show’s first two seasons and will continue in her role when Season 3 premieres in summer 2015.

Michael Emerson (Benjamin Linus)

Michael Emerson, who played the manipulative Benjamin Linus, has continued to find success in television. In 2011, he landed a series regular role as Harold Finch on the CBS drama Person of Interest. The show remains popular, and Emerson’s character has continued to be a mainstay throughout its four seasons.

Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond Hume)

Henry Ian Cusick, who played the time-traveling Desmond Hume, has continued to find steady work in television. After a regular role on the first season of ABC’s Scandal, Cusick guest-starred on shows like The Mentalist, Fringe, Hawaii Five-0, and Body of Proof before landing another series regular role on The CW’s post-apocalyptic sci-fi series The 100.

Dominic Monaghan (Charlie Pace)

Dominic Monaghan, who played the lovable musician Charlie Pace, has continued to find success in both film and television. In addition to having several films in the works, Monaghan currently hosts his own wildlife documentary series on the UK’s Channel 5, titled Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan, which even earned him a Creative Arts Emmy nomination.

Emilie de Ravin (Claire Littleton)

Emilie de Ravin, who played the young mother Claire Littleton, has continued to find success in television. After Lost ended, de Ravin changed her hair color from blonde to brunette and landed the role of Belle on ABC’s Once Upon a Time. She was promoted to series regular for Season 2 and remains a main character in the show’s fourth season.

Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet Burke)

Elizabeth Mitchell, who played the enigmatic Juliet Burke, has continued to find success in television. She can currently be seen on Once Upon a Time as Ingrid, the Snow Queen and aunt of Frozen‘s Elsa and Anna.
