Just read Harold Perrineau's interview on tvguide.com. I was a little put off by his reaction to his demise on LOST. This show kills off folks at the drop of the hat, I'm surprised he didn't think it was a possibility when he came back.

What's your take on his interview?

Wow what a jackbutt.... I can understand him being annoyed but he seems to be taking it a bit far. I mean... he pretty much comes right out and states they are racist:

TV Guide: Were you disappointed Michael and Walt didn't reconnect before your character died?
Perrineau: Listen, if I'm being really candid, there are all these questions about how they respond to black people on the show. Sayid gets to meet Nadia again, and Desmond and Penny hook up again, but a little black boy and his father hooking up, that wasn't interesting? Instead, Walt just winds up being another fatherless child. It plays into a really big, weird stereotype and, being a black person myself, that wasn't so interesting. [Responds Cuse: "We pride ourselves on having a very racially diverse cast. It's painful when any actor's storyline ends on the show. Harold is a fantastic actor whose presence added enormously to Lost."

That article bugged me...

Yeah I thought he came off as a huge jerk. Everything is because he's black, right?

I don't know why he was so surprised to be killed again. I thought it was great, though, how he said if they wanted him to come back again he'd be open to it, as long as he knew he wouldn't get killed again. So basically they screwed him over and he thinks they are racist, but he's harlot enough to come back and work for them again.

I don't like him.
