Naveen Andrews
Lost star Naveen Andrews has signed on to film a guest spot on an episode of Law & Order: SVU, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.
The details of his role are being kept under wraps for now, but the episode starts filming in the next week or so in New York.
A poster for Lost's final season revealed
Andrews, 40, plays Sayid Jarrah on ABC's Lost, which is still shooting its final season in Hawaii. (A source tells us they're on Episode 6 of 18.)
Let's not jump to any conclusions though...

Lost's Naveen Andrews has found a custody ruling in his favor.
The ABC show's star won sole custody of his three-year-old son, Naveen Joshua, at L.A. Superior Court on Wednesday, TMZ reports. A judge changed Andrews' joint custody with his son's mother, Elena Eustache, after she allegedly took the boy out of county without permission. Andrews also said that Eustache kept their son from him.
Eustache, meanwhile, reportedly made several claims of her own. Among them...

Josh Holloway apparently has had it up to "hair" with Sawyer's look.
"It's no shock to say that Season 4 ends with the Oceanic 6 getting off the island," Lost executive producer Damon Lindelof shares with TV Guide. "The real mystery is how, and what they have to sacrifice, and what happens to the people who didn't leave. You get all that this year." Sounds good, we'll take it. But what other intel are producers willing to spill? To find out, we turned to no, not viewers but to Lost cast members themselves for their own burning questions. Warning! The producers' answers could cause a major head rush, if not a full-on Desmond-style time jump.

Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly in Lost by Mario Perez/ABC
Lost fans finally got their Season 4 premiere on Thursday night, and within the very first moments (Spoiler alert) they learned about the Oceanic Six, a group to which at least Future Jack, Kate and (now we see) Hurley belong. As you wrack your brain over who the only other three "survivors" will be, keep in mind this previously excised portion of my Q&A with Naveen Andrews. "There's something quite intriguing [about the Oceanic Six] in that maybe there are only officially six," Sayid's portrayer shared. "Maybe there are more who they couldn't reveal to the outside world but are either still on the island or somewhere else, and why."That, of course, would dovetail nicely with Future Jack's anxiousness to go baaaack to the island. Perhaps he's had a change of heart about some folks who didn't choose Team Shephard and thus ultimately will get left behind?More Lost coverage:• Cheers & Jeers rates Lance Reddick's eerie visit.• Read Trish's in-depth Lost recap blog....

Naveen Andrews as Lost's Sayid Hassan Jarrah
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.
Sayid, by the "Numbers": Resourceful, levelheaded and possessing many skills that have come in handy on the island, Sayid Hassan Jarrah (played by Naveen Andrews) became an early leader among the survivors. A former communications officer in the Iraqi Republican Guard, he became an interpreter and torturer for the U.S. military when his unit was captured during Desert Storm. After the war, he returned to Iraqi service and soon encountere

Question: The Golden Globes are my favorite awards show, mainly because they put TV and movie stars all together under one roof — and give them lots of booze. They can always be counted upon for great moments! But if one thing always irks me, it's the supporting actor TV category, which doesn't differentiate between drama, comedy or miniseries. And we end up with a field like this for Best Supporting Actor: Naveen Andrews, Lost; Paul Newman, Empire Falls; Jeremy Piven, Entourage; Randy Quaid, Elvis; Donald Sutherland, Commander in Chief. Seriously? We're putting Jeremy Piven's delightfully shallow superagent up against Andrews' painstaking dramatic portrayal of a tortured (no pun intended) former Iraqi soldier? In the same category? I am sure they must do this to get the time down on the program, but if they must lump TV-movies and miniseries together, can't they at least separate between comedy and drama (two drastically different media)? That would only add two awards to the program, ...

Maggie Grace on Lost
Nearly three weeks after her tragic death, many fans of ABC's Lost (Wednesdays at 9 pm/ET) still mourn Shannon Rutherford. Sure, Shannon (played by Maggie Grace) was spoiled, emotionally stunted and preoccupied with parading around in bikinis and giving herself pedicures. And yes, she showed questionable judgment when she indulged in an icky precrash hookup with ill-fated stepbrother Boone (Ian Somerhalder). But boy, the girl sure knew how to make an exit.
In Lost's Nov. 9 episode, just as viewers started to get a little insight into what made the rich bitch tick — her daddy died, leaving her with an evil stepmom and (the horror!) no trust fund — she was killed by tri

On Thanksgiving Day save room for a special Lost podcast (available at lost.abc.com) that will offer two writers' behind-the-scenes take on this week's episode, in which Michelle Rodriguez's Ana Lucia and Naveen Andrews' Sayid sort through the fallout of Shannon's tragic death. The podcast can even be synched up with a recording of the episode to serve as a scene-by-scene commentary. Hey, it's not quite Dark Side of the Moon-Wizard of Oz, but I'll take it.

For every drop of refreshing new blood in this year's Emmy field, there's a stubborn residue of tired old blood. The Emmy nominations are an annual rite of frustration in which every positive breakthrough is balanced by an aggravating snub.
This year is no different. As expected, last year's instant hits on ABC, Desperate Housewives and Lost, got their due, leading the comedy and drama pack respectively (although Housewives was tied with the academy's longtime, and inexplicable, darling Will & Grace with 15 nominations).
But because of the TV academy's regrettable devotion to faded perennials like Will & Grace, The West Wing and Si
