Harold Perrineau: TV Guide News

Harold Perrineau Gets Lost and Found | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 3/20/2008
Harold Perrineau is back on the island ? and ready to talk about why he left. "It only goes about five feet deep," Harold Perrineau says, nodding in the direction of the swimming pool in his backyard. "If I stand in it, part of me's still above water." From the hint of relief in his voice, you'd think a shallow pool was a major selling point when Perrineau bought the unassuming Los Angeles home more than a year ago. You wouldn't be entirely wrong. As the T-shirt- and jeans-clad actor, 44, ... read more
A Heartbreaking Loss on Lost | Roush Dispatch | 3/14/2008
My reactions to Lost are almost always extreme. Extreme excitement, nervous confusion, fear and joy and wonder all mixed up in one spectacularly emotional bundle. This week, Lost earned the ultimate compliment in the Roush playbook. It made me cry.Yunjin Kim and Daniel Dae Kim have long been among my favorite actors on the show, and their backstory is among the most romantically resonant. The island saved Sun and Jin’s rocky marriage, a union tested by class differences and the self-loathing Jin suffered by having to perform bad acts in the employ of her father. Her surprise/miracle pregnancy was a blessing, but also (given the fate of pregnant women on this island) a curse. In their latest audacious spotlight episode, a gimmicky and uneasy collision of flashback (for him) and flash-forward (for her), we learn that Sun did make it off the island to have her baby: a daughter named Ji Yeon, per Jin’s wishes. Jin, however, was not so lucky. His race to get to the hospital... read more
Feeling Lost? Here's Our Guide to Michael Dawson | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 1/19/2008
Our favorite castaways thus far have been on the island a few months, but for Lost fans, it's been more than 260 days since Jack's super-freaky flash-forward. As the Jan. 31 season premiere (finally) draws closer, TVGuide.com is offering daily profiles ? "refreshers," if you will ? of the key players in ABC's island-based odyssey. Michael, By the "Numbers": When we first meet Michael (played by Harold Perrineau), almost 10 years before the timeframe of the series, he's an aspiring artist ... read more
The Secret Life of Bees | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 10/12/2007
Episode Recap: “Go to Hell”It’s hot as hell in Vegas. The temperature is 109 degrees and rising — but don’t worry. People don’t start getting crazy until it’s 110.Maybe that thermometer’s a little off.Distorted, grotesque people are staggering around in the blistering heat while Harold Perrineau—yes, that’s Papa Michael from ABC’s Lost—is preaching about Hell and damnation. Hell, in case you were wondering, isn’t a possible afterlife. It’s a night of terrible storms in which my cable keeps going out while I’m trying to watch CSI! OK, fine, it’s actually right here in Vegas. Meanwhile, there are a million bees flying around. Keep an eye on the bees. They’re a sign of the coming apocalypse.On their way to a crime scene, the CSIs stumble across one of the previously mentioned distorted, grotesque people (I’m so mean, I know) lying dead in a pile of trash. There’s a dead bee lying near... read more
Ask Matt | 8/10/2007
There are two things I love about television: Lost and surprises that really take your breath away. So can you please explain why in the world ABC would reveal during the TCA press tour that Harold Perrineau would be returning to the show next season? Where is the element of surprise if you let the audience know the surprise before it actually happens? Had Michael appeared on Lost next season with absolutely no advance warning, it would've been one of the biggest surprises on television. So ... read more
