Lost - Who is the Young Sayid?
EW is reporting a new casting call going out to someone between the ages of 8 to 12 and who can speak Arabic. The same casting call also appeared on this spoilers site.
[FATHER]
40s, must speak Arabic. A domineering and quick-tempered father who’s trying to bring his boys up properly. Feels he has to teach his son a lesson about how to be a real man. CO-STAR.
[OLDER BOY]
12, must speak Arabic. Sensitive and kind-hearted, he’s scared of his domineering father and knows he’s a sad disappointment. CO-STAR.
[YOUNG BOY]
8, must speak Arabic. Quiet and thoughtful who loves his older brother and is protective of him, can do what his father asks calmly and coolly. CO-STAR.
From the sound of it, we should be looking at a Sayid flashback in one of the episodes, one that will obviously date back to his childhood. Is he going to be the young boy or is he going to be the older brother? There’s a grumpy old dad in this equation too.
