Lost: Michael is back!
His name has appeared in the opening credits throughout the season, so it wasn’t hard to speculate Michael, played by Harold Perrineau, would be back on the show. This coming week is going to be an episodes centered around him and his alter-ego, Kevin Johnson. And according to reports, the episode will involve a series of flashbacks dating back to the time he shot Libby and Anna Lucia and released Ben from the custody of the Losties, in Season 2.
The press was recently able to talk to the actor and he revealed some more information about what has happened to his character in the last two seasons.
“I hope people see Michael’s return and think, ‘Oh, this is gonna be good.I hope they think this ride is good. We busted our butts doing this one. It felt like we were making a movie because there’s so much stuff that happens in this episode.”
Was Michael ever able to get back home to New York? Will his son also return to the show? And was he the man in the coffin during that jaw-dropping flashfoward at the end of season three? According to Perrieanu, the answers are yes, maybe and he has no idea.
“Oh, I thought for sure it was Michael in the coffin,” he said. “But I still don’t know.”
“It seems like all the other characters on the island have dealt with redemption, in some form or another,” said Perrineau. “But not Michael. He’s only ever contended with being a father. The thing I want to know is: Why was Michael put on the island in the first place?”
The whole interview is on USA Today.
