Rabid Lost fans will take any tidbit of news they can. And so, I offer this tasty morsel of Lost casting news. Fisher Stevens is joining the show! Now, I’m not sure if that exclamation point is disbelief or excitement, and while I certainly don’t have anything against Stevens, I’m having a kind of “huh?” reaction. And that’s primarily because I associate Stevens with Short Circuit and have no recollection for anything else he’s done. So, all I can envision is that robot saying “Number 5 is alive!” And that really doesn’t have too much to do with Fisher Stevens because he didn’t even say that line. Even looking him up on IMDB didn’t jostle my memory about other roles he’s had, although he appeared on the series Early Edition and has made many guest appearances. Hmm. Anyway… back to Lost. Stevens is set to play the role of Minkowski, who we have only heard through the satellite phone during the last season’s finale, telling the Losties they would be rescued. Will this little nugget o’ info carry us until the season premiere in February? Not likely, but it’s at least something.
