Is ‘The Tall Man’ going to play The Tall Man? Lost Spoiler
This is getting a little spoilerish so I will poke this behind the fold. On a separate note, I have heard your pleas. No more front page character or casting rumors. You’ll be pleased to know the new design will take care of that issue in a creative way. Coming soon, as always.
Rumors are circulating that Horror legend Angus Scrimm (Phantasm, and Alias) may be in consideration for the role of Arthur. Angus is actually over 60, which was the maximum age, but definitely meets the sinister requirement, as any horror fan knows. He also has a minor Bad Robot connection through his Alias work. Is it true? My gut instinct is "probably not," however, I would be insanely pleased if it were true!
On the speculative side of things, observant folks - or fans with a gift for spotting the obvious - have pointed out that Arthur’s description is very much in the same vein as Richard Alpert. Replacement Alpert? Very unlikely. It would not be like Lost to replace a character with a carbon copy. I’d assume they would just write their way around his absence in order to introduce whatever plot point
I don’t know why no one has pointed out the obivous “whoaaa!” moment with the casting. Maybe this is the old Richard Alpert?

Wasn’t Jeff Goldblum the Tall Man, in that movie with Emma Thompson?
He’d make a great (albeit celebrity-infused) addition. Don’t know about his menacing qualities, however..

Holy crap! Angus Scrimm is still alive. How old is he know? He’s gotta be in his late 80s at least.

The first guy I thought about was Crispin Glover. The (tall),creepy, thin man from the first Charlie’s Angels movie.
But then I though about Phantasm’s Angus Scrimm and his Alias connection (although brief). He’s the likelier one, I guess.
Hmm… role speculation, an Other or Naomi’s people?
