Terry O’Quinn & Michael Emerson Of Lost Reunite For New NBC Show

It probably won’t be anywhere as good as Lost, because no other TV show can ever be that mesmerizing and thrilling. But, this just may be the second best thing: The TV reunion of Terry O’Quinn and Michael Emerson, better known by Losties as John Locke and Ben Linus.

What?! NBC has just picked up a new pilot from Lost co-creator J.J. Abrams starring the two best villains who captured our imagination and dove deep into our fears. The project, originally named Odd Jobs is now untitled but described as a comedic drama about former black-ops agents.

Making it even better: Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec of Alias will serve as writers and executive producers, with Abrams and Bryan Burk (Undercovers) also executive-producing. 

All I have to say to that is: WOOHOO! AND, can it please start airing tomorrow. Oh, and, can you please sign up Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Hurley (Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, Josh Holloway, and Jorge Garcia) on too?

Looks like I am not the only one excited about this new collaboration. This is what Michael Emerson told EW.com:

“I really am AMAZED that what started out as some kidding-around on the set of Lost has turned into a network TV reality! I’m still reeling from this sudden turn of events. I’m an actor who has never even succeeded in testing for a pilot and here I find myself involved in a project custom-built for Terry and me! Can’t tell you how thrilling it is to be part of the Bad Robot family and enter into this exciting collaboration with Warner Brothers and NBC! Have we ARRIVED or what?! But best of all will be that day when Terry and I show up on the set of a brand new show, look around, shrug our shoulders and say “Let’s get started!” My fingers are crossed! (Did I use enough exclamation points? ha!)”

Exclusive Interview With Nick Tate, Actor From Lost

CELEBRITY ENCOUNTER.
 

  My mind is on Lost. My heart is with Lost. My keyboard can only type about Lost. Tonight is a night which I have long dreaded because it will inevitably result in a broken heart for me as I forever say goodbye to some of my favorite friends. After 6 seasons of religiously living, breathing, and watching Lost, yes, I want answers, but, no, not at the cost of losing Jack, Sawyer, Freckles, and Hurley; oh my sweet Hurley. Desmond — what will I do without you in this lifetime, brotha? And, Ben, oh silly Ben, no one will ever again deceive me and kill at will like you can, Ben.

Tonight, I will surely weep and dwell in my sorrow, a sorrow which only a true Lost fan can understand and appreciate. But at least my pain will mercifully now be softened due to the intervention of the cosmos yet once again. In true serendipitous Celeb Magnet fashion, the stars sent me an angel last night from Australia; an angel in the name of Nick Tate. You’ve seen Nick in Hook, Cry Freedom, Murder She Wrote, JAG,and The X Files. But as I looked closely at his sweet familiar face, and listened intently to his smooth Australian accent as he spoke with my friend Emerson, I recognized Nick from episode 1.3 of Lost, better known as Tabula Rasa which first aired October 6, 2004.  

Hello Nick, mate–nice to see you again. On Lost, Nick played Ray Mullen, a farmer in Australia for whom Kate (played by Evangeline Lilly) worked prior to the crash of Oceanic Flight 815. As you recall, Ray found a fugitive Kate sleeping in his sheep pen one morning, and gave her a job doing chores around his farm for nearly three months. That is, until Ray spotted Kate’s mugshot at the post office and decided to turn her in to US Marshal Edward Mars for a $23,000 reward. During the confrontation with Mars, Kate caused Ray’s truck to overturn but ended up saving him by pulling him out from the burning wreckage. The delay allowed Mars to capture her. Here is a clip containing the scenes.
Interesting bit of trivia: Ray Mullen was the first character to appear on an episode of Lost who wasn’t aboard Oceanic 815. As all die-hard Lost fans know, Lost was Evangeline Lilly’s first speaking role ever. Tonight, Nick relayed the story of the first time he met Evangeline. It took place while they were both sitting in their respective makeup chairs and facing each other. Nick introduced himself to this “amazingly beautiful” lady who seemed very nervous. Her scenes with Nick would be Evangeline’s first scenes with a non-cast member. This was as big as it gets for a young, new actress. She asked if Nick would go over their lines while they were both in their make up chairs, and Nick agreed. Nick, a seasoned actor, says Evangeline rehearsed the lines to perfection. Nick told her she was really good, and Evangeline asked, “do you really think so?” “Oh, yes, I really think so.” Nick was obviously spot on with his assessment. Nick says he still keeps in touch with Evangeline and sees her from time to time when he is in the States; he calls her “unforgettable”. Well, Nick, I think you are unforgettable too…
