During
his weekly "Ask Ausiello", Michael Ausiello of TVGuide.com reports that
there has been a new casting call put out for a new character named
Arthur Stevens. According to the report, Mr. Stevens will be a
recurring role for the upcoming season. The character profile is for
someone who is "a very tall and thin corporate recruiter who is smart,
capable and ruthless."
So, the question arises, how will he fit into the "Lost" storyline?
There
are really three major options as to where this character may fit in to
the "Lost" universe. The first is that he is a member of Dharma,
although from what we know of the Initiative, corporate privitization
really doesn't seem to be their game. A second guess would be that Mr.
Stevens is from Mittelos Bioscience. One could easily see Stevens
filling the would-be void of current Mittelos recruiter, Richard
Alpert. The third option may be that he is involved with whoever or
whatever sent Naomi.
With the promise that whoever was on their
way to the island would be even scarier and more dangerous than, "the
Others," the probability that Arthur Stevens is going to be the new
"bad guy" is reasonable. Especially when you figure in this other piece
of information put out as a character description. Ausiello reports
that the casting notice reads, "He may smile and his words may sound
soothing, but their effect can send chills up your spine."
Could he also just work or be tied to THE OTHERS.....
