Lost's Wizard of Oz | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 3/9/2005
Brooklyn-born actor Harold Perrineau has a knack for picking memorable roles. He's played Augustus Hill, the wheelchair-using inmate/narrator on HBO's Oz, spaceship pilot Link in the Matrix films and now Michael, the troubled single dad stranded on ABC's Lost (Wednesdays, 8 pm/ET).

Lost in Space? | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 1/13/2005
Since the plane-crash takeoff of ABC's Lost (Wednesdays, 8 P.M./ET), lots of theories have been floated to explain the mysterious occurrences on the survivors' new island home.

Rossellini's Alias Return | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 1/6/2005
Though Alias aficionados would adore it, Lena Olin's return as Jennifer Garner's malevolent mama seems highly unlikely. Fortunately, those who can't get enough of superspy Sydney Bristow's freaky family tree may still have something to look forward to. Remember Isabella Rossellini, who guest-starred last year as Syd's not-so-nice auntie, Katya Derevko? Well, she's just itchin' to kick some more butt. "They called me the other day to see if I was available," Rossellini says excitedly, "so I ... read more
We Spy Alias Scoop! | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 10/22/2004
Alias creator J.J. Abrams is even busier than a jet-setting CIA operative these days. Besides launching the ABC hit Lost, he's preparing to direct The World's Biggest Box-Office Star (that would be Tom Cruise) in Mission Impossible 3 next summer. But never fear, Sydney Bristow fans: Abrams remains committed to his wildly entertaining spy drama, whose fourth season begins in January, partly because of his jam-packed schedule. "When I went away to [direct the pilot episode of] Lost," he says, "I... read more
Alias: We Spy a Makeover | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 6/21/2004
When Alias kicks off its fourth season in January, fans are going to spy some big-time changes. Coming off a subpar season, which saw viewership decline 9 percent, series creator J.J. Abrams will once again embrace the show's original conceit. Namely, Sydney will go back to juggling her dual roles as an international spy and normal twentysomething. "We got so deep in the Rimbaldi and Covenant [mysteries] that we lost sight of some of the stuff we fell in love with [in the beginning]," ABC ... read more
Meet Alias's New Bad Girl | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 1/31/2003
Alias fans weren't the only folks shocked by last Sunday's post-Super Bowl episode, which climaxed with the murder of Sydney's (Jennifer Garner) sweet roommate Francie (Merrin Dungey) at the hands of her never-before-seen evil double. Not even Dungey's closest friends knew the actress would soon transform into a femme fatale. Since October, she's been suffering under a vow of silence about the plot twist, and now she's dying to tell us all about it! "J.J. [Abrams, the show's creator] said ... read more
