'Lost' star admits actors are as baffled as viewers
Published Friday, May 18 2007, 16:35 BST | By Ben Rawson-Jones
Latest Lost star Marsha Thomason admits that the actors are kept in the dark alongside the viewers when it comes to the truth behind the show's mysterious plots.
The British-born actress who plays Naomi - the woman who parachuted into the island to find Desmond - exclusively told Digital Spy: “We’re as in the dark as the audience, really – maybe half a step ahead. We spend our whole time waxing about: ‘What’s that about? What does that mean?’ We don’t have a clue; we only know from episode to episode.”
Thomason, whilst admitting that she'd "prefer to know" the truth behind the narrative and her character, did point out that such secrecy can benefit a show: "You know when that worked really brilliantly? On 24 with Nina Myers. She didn’t have a clue – Sarah [Clarke], the actress – and that made it really brilliant, because she played Nina honestly. Really honestly. And then she was a villain. Genius."
