You are amazing, Matt, to do all that with a headache. I have a hard time being that productive without one.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just read that Jason Dohring auditioned for Duncan's role on VM, and bland guy auditioned for Logan. And that Logan was supposed to be a pilot one-off. Naturally, this brings JM's insertion into the Buffy cast to mind (oh, we do love the naughty boys), and Jack on Lost (not originally designed as a regular either, IIRC). Anyone else of interest pulled this off? Especially as quickly as Matthew Fox?

And there was nothing new. Take out the high gas prices references and he could have given the same opening statement 6 months ago. I get why he did it, but ya gotta have something or nobody will care.
I watched part of that press conference, and I'll tell you exactly what it was about, or at least what it felt like it was about to me -- scolding us (and in turn, those of our elected representatives who are not toe-ing the line) for not doing what he wants us to do.
That, and making some not-so-subtle digs at anybody who thinks differently from him.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Jack on Lost wasn't supposed to be a regular? Wow.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Andy Sipowicz was supposed to die on NYPD Blue.
Gunther on Friends was an extra and got the barista gig because he knew how to work an espresso machine.

Wasn't Nurse Hathaway supposed to die or be rendered vegetative from her nasty overdose in the ER pilot?
