Excerpt from Interview with William Sanderson Regarding His ‘Lost’ Guest Role
Fans will certainly remember this True Blood and Deadwood star as Oldham, the DHARMA torturer who tried to get Sayid to reveal his true allegiance in season 5. In our recent interview with Sanderson promoting the new season of HBO’s True Blood, premiering June 14, I asked him about his guest role on the show and whether there’s a possibility of seeing more of DHARMA’s version of Sayid.
“Well, they never said anything differently. A few years ago they had talked to my agent and were giving me dates and promised - or implied - that I would be doing a recurring role. Well, that didn’t happen, so the fact that it came around again for me to do a different role, I was very grateful. I said, “Well, they don’t hate me.” But they did not say anything about doing another role and I hate that because when they do it, sometimes they promise you, “This might recur” and it just messes yourhead up. Just a one time thing as far as I know.”
