Best known for playing a former Iraqi soldier on Lost, Andrews is actually a Brit of Indian extraction and is very open about his sordid past. He made his acting debut in London Kills Me, a film about druggies, an ironic twist since Andrews' addictions to alcohol and heroin almost killed him and his career. After cleaning up Stateside, the exotic actor appeared in a number of movies, most notably The English Patient, and moved in with actress Barbara Hershey, who is 21 years his senior. When the couple split briefly in 2005, Andrews fathered a child with another woman. He already had a son from a previous relationship with his math teacher when he was just a teen.Naveen Andrews Fast Facts:
