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... 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... 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... 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
Episode Recap: "The Awakening" | Masters of Science Fiction | 8/12/2007
Like the characters in tonight's episode, we can live in the hope that "The Awakening" remains the weakest installment of this series. In fact, we might even wonder why this arguably religious fantasy was included in a series devoted to science fiction at all; more importantly, we can wonder why, if this obviously heartfelt production was to be included, they executed it so poorly, with so many goofy little details that pull the viewer out of the drama.Based, presumably rather loosely, on... read more

Lights Out at the Emmys | Roush Dispatch | 7/19/2007
Remember how Charlie Brown used to end up on his back every time he went to kick the football after Lucy pulled it away? Well, that was me, in the pre-dawn of Thursday morning at the TV Academy building in North Hollywood, as the first Emmy category (for best drama series) was read aloud. Amid a gaggle of impatient media crews and anxious publicists, I once again felt sucker-punched by the cluelessly inexplicable whims of the Emmy nomination process. (Go here for a list of nominees.)The... read more
ABC's Science Fiction Series Finally Materializes | Today's News: Our Take | 7/2/2007

The lineup — slashed from six installments to four — is as follows:August 4: "A Clean Escape," based on Nebula Award-winning author John Kessel's short story about a postapocalyptic psychiatrist (Judy Davis) determined to solve a man's (Sam Waterston) apparent memory lapse.August 11: "The Awakening," based on a short story by Howard... read more
Seen and Heard at the Upfronts | First Look: Hottest Fall TV | 5/16/2007
Daly's Primetime PracticeWhile Tim Daly is excited about his new show Private Practice, he can't help but be a little skeptical. Can you blame him? The last three series he's been on — The Fugitive, Eyes, The Nine — all got nixed during their first seasons. "I approach everything with a healthy amount of optimism," he said while hanging out at the Lucky Suite, where he picked up some Cosabella lingerie and True Religion jeans for his wife and daughter. "I just don't want to get my... read more
