Terry O'Quinn: TV Guide News

Feeling Lost? Here's Our Guide to John Locke | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 1/29/2008
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. Locke, by the "Numbers": John Locke (played by Terry O'Quinn) was brought up in foster care after his 15-year-old mother abandoned him. Later he met his mother, ... read more
Emmys: Bravo to Winners, Boo to Show | Roush Dispatch | 9/17/2007
And some people worried that getting Ryan Seacrest to host this year’s Emmy telecast was going to be the producers’ worst idea. That’s before we got a look at the set, an unwieldy and unappealing theater-in-the-round setup that looked more suitable for the new American Gladiators revival than for an awards show. The nominees, half of whom saw only the backs of the various presenters and performers, had a deer-in-the-headlights look every time Seacrest approached them or the cameras awkwardly cut to them. They appeared to be sitting in penalty boxes, not deluxe auditorium seats.Honestly, though, we poor schnooks at home were the ones suffering the penalty here: as in, confronted with one of the worst Emmy telecasts I can remember. As Emmy years go, I’m actually at peace with the majority of the winners, given who was and wasn’t nominated (and we’ve been over that frustrating ground plenty of times since the July nominations). Learning who won was a lot... read more
Terry O'Quinn, Lost (Supporting Actor in a Drama) | Emmys Live Blog: Backstage with the Winners! | 9/17/2007
Terry gets off to a fun start, holding his Emmy and saying, "Did you see how many of these are back there? It's going to be a long night."8:38 pm/ET: It's starting. Terry is asked to check the designer tag on his necktie.Terry's thinking as the category was announced? "I thought, 'As soon as this award is done, I get to go to the bathroom.'" As for winning, "It's a little frosting on being nominated. Beyond that I don’t have expectations." 8:39: On the monitor, did Katherine Heigl just visibly say, "S--t!" upon winning?A speculation-based Lost question: Is Locke Jacob? "I have no idea," Terry says, dismissing such rumors as having "no basis in fact." read more
Live Emmy Blog | Emmys Live Blog: Watching the Big Show! | 9/17/2007
7:55: OK, I've got a bottle of bubbly on ice, so I can chug... I mean, make a heartfelt toast every time Ugly Betty and/or The Office win, and I've got three pairs of ratty sneakers to throw at the TV every time they don't. So I guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be to ringlead my first-ever live Emmy blog. Hey, I just realized that makes me a virgin! Be gentle with me, will ya, folks?7:58: Yikes. Just read the preshow red-carpet coverage. Funny stuff. Now I'm nervous.8:00: A song and dance from Family Guy's Brian and Stewie Griffin. Never got that show. Must be "thrilling" in the auditorium. Yep, look at Jeremy Piven. He's bored already.8:01: Charlie Sheen and the tubby kid from Two and a Half Men liked being name-checked in the song. Some people are so easy to please.8:02: T.R. Knight looks irritated by a lyric about Isaiah Washington replacing Kramer on Seinfeld. 8:03: OK, that's over. Things are looking up. Oh, I spoke too soon. It's Ryan Seacrest. Please no jokes. 8:04: OK, maybe... read more
Ask Matt | 9/10/2007
I know it's a little late, but I'd like to address the Emmy nominations. I think that Elizabeth Mitchell definitely was robbed of a Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series nod for Lost. Her work has been top-notch, and Juliet emerged as my favorite character this Lost season. Cheers for Michael Emerson and Terry O'Quinn on their nominations. They ? especially Emerson as the enigmatic and chilling Ben ? deserve it. But the person who perhaps deserves an Emmy nomination most of all, and who ... read more
