Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In France, 'Lost' is called 'Lost: Les Disparus'.

Answer: True

The additional French tag is due to a government ruling that imposes the use of French in all titles.

2. Which other actor was considered for the part of Jack, but turned it down?

Answer: Michael Keaton

Had Michael Keaton accepted the part of Jack, he would have been killed off in the 'Pilot' episode. James Cash lost the part of Jack to Matthew Fox in the final auditions; Dominic Monaghan plays Charlie and Michael Emerson plays Ben.

3. Parts of the plane were used as percussion instruments.

Answer: True

Parts of the plane were used as percussion instruments and can be heard in the soundtrack!

4. Jack's tattoos on his shoulder are the actor's own.

Answer: True

The story behind Jack's tattoos was discovered in series three... However, they are actually Matthew Fox's own.

5. Who was the only member of the cast who did not have to audition for his/her part?

Answer: Terry O'Quinn

J.J. Abrams had previously worked with Terry O'Quinn, who plays John Locke, on the second series of 'Alias'. Jorge Garcia (Hurley) was the first person to be cast for the series.

6. Originally, Sawyer was supposed to be a young con man from Chicago.

Answer: False

Sawyer was actually supposed to be an older con man from Buffalo NY, but when Josh Holloway auditioned for the part, the producers were very impressed and changed the character to a younger, southern man.

7. The original description for Kate was later used for which other character?

Answer: Rose

Originally, Kate was supposed to be an older woman separated from her husband, who went to the bathroom in the tail section of the plane. However, the idea ended up being used for Rose instead.

8. There was a real man, a philosopher, named John Locke.

Answer: True

John Locke was a 19th Century English philosopher who described the human being at birth as 'tabula rasa', which translates as 'unwritten sheet' or 'empty canvas'. Perhaps the creators of 'Lost' were inspired by this when creating the character of Locke.

9. Yunjin Kim was considering turning down the part of Sun.

Answer: True

Yunjin Kim thought Sun was too stereotypical and submissive, but J.J. Abrams managed to convince her to accept the part. In fact, she originally read the part for Kate. However, the producers felt that she was not what they were looking for in Kate, but decided to create a new character for her along with a spouse.

10. Which of these characters was not originally set to die?

Answer: Libby

As Ana Lucia was not considered a popular enough character to gain the fans' sympathy, Libby was also killed for emotional impact.
