The Tail Section comes through again in these dark LOST-less times, with an interview with William Mapother, aka Ethan Rom, everyone's favorite dead Other!
When Ethan first shows up in bad guy mode, after Hurley finds out he isnâ??t on the manifest, he has this absolutely terrifying expression and presence. Where did you ever learn to pour on the creepy like that? Was it difficult to find the right â??cold and evilâ?? look for Ethan?
I have no clue as to the source of that look. When I saw it on screen, I creeped myself. Lighting and story context helped a lot, of course. As the first non-survivor, Mary Poppins would've had a bit of creep to her. We shot my expression and performance many different ways, and I couldn't have bet which they'd choose. They picked Creepy #2, I think. A fine vintage, apparently.
