The Face of Jacob?

In some terrific casting news, looks like Jeff Fahey will be joining our Losties on the island! And EW picked a very curious picture to accompany their article:


Said Cuse:
The producers wouldn't comment on the character that Fahey will be playing, but said he was the first and only choice for the role. ''The Lawnmower Man and [the 1995 TV series] The Marshall are personal faves,'' says Cuse. ''And he has the most intense eyes of any guy out there, and I say that as a non-gay man.'' Adds Lindelof: ''Fahey is one of those actors who feels like he fits into the Lost model: He's enormously talented and will be vaguely recognizable to some people, but he'll be able to land on our island without most people going, 'Oh, I know who that guy is.' And especially for the part we cast him for, he has exactly the right sensibilities.''
First and only choice? Intense eyes?

That says Jacob to me and, if he really is going to play the critical part, that's just an awesome job on the casting. Booyah!

I agree, he's a great actor and will be an awesome addition whatever part he plays. But if he's Jacob it will be sweet!
