There’s a pretty interesting interview with Naveen Andrews (who plays Sayid on Lost) on The-Trades.com. Naveen reflects on his character on the show and what he thinks might be a good path for the Iraqi’s story to take in the future.
“If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the show’s completely unpredictable,� he says. “It’s constantly changing. But I sense something sort of spiritual about the character, that somehow there’s something in him that’s trying to atone for what he’s done in the past. Maybe something that goes in that direction in the future [would be good].�
The one possesion he’d want to take with him to a desert island is his guitar. The article reveals how many of the cast have musical abilities, and Naveen states that if he wasn’t an actor, he would love to persue music as a career. He idolizes Jimi Hendrix:
“I would have liked to have traded places with Jimmy Hendrix for a day just to have that kind of mind in terms of playing. There were things that Hendrix did that I think would be impossible for anybody else to get. They were things that will never happen again.�
Tonight’s episode of Lost, titled “The Greater Good”, reveals more about Sayid’s past, how he came to be on the plane, and more about his love, Nadia.
