Jack from “Lost” could have been played by Justin Theroux from “Left Behind”

Co-author “Stay Alive” Damon Lindelof said that at one time he was considering for the role Jack Shepard actor Justin Theroux (“Maniac”).

However, Teru showed no interest in the role of the doctor, who ended up with other people on the mysterious island. As a result, this game was played by Matthew Fox…

However, Lindelof continued to follow the artist’s career, marveling at some of his skills – for example, Teru co-wrote the script “Soldier of Failure” with Ben Stiller. And in the end, Lindelof himself managed to work with him on his series. “Abandoned”…

At that time, the screenwriter somewhat doubted that Teru, with his bright appearance, would be able to draw out a strong dramatic role – however, after the first reading of the script, it became clear that such a problem would not arise. As Lindelof himself joked, Teru turned out to be a good actor “despite the glamorous image.”
