If you're a Facebook friend of mine, you might be aware that I've developed a certain appreciation for someone on the TV show "Lost." It didn't occur until recently, I guess because prior to this season, we really haven't seen much more of Desmond Hume beyond his consciousness traveling, crazy-eyed, wild haired, thickly Irish accented rantings of "Yer gunna dyeee, brothah" whenever he appeared in a scene. Anyway, I've really come to look forward to his rantings, his accent, AND his character on the show, not to mention the fact that he's not at all hideously ugly to look at.
So imagine my surprise when Ren brought this movie home to watch over Easter weekend, and lo and behold, I looked at the DVD cover and saw Desmond Hume, aka Henry Ian Cusick, as Jesus Christ. Pretty wild, huh?
Did anyone else know this? I'd seen the movie when it first came out but totally didn't make the connection until just yesterday. After watching it again this weekend, I must say that he does a really good job as Jesus. Even without the Irish accent and the consciousness traveling.

Amen, sister! I share your "appreciation" (ahem).
How crazy that he played Jesus...it's all about the time travel.
Love you!
Not to be a stickler, Ange, but that's a Scottish accent. Desmond hails from Scotland. And he's also a fave over here;) Also Sayhid.
Okay, Erin, keep it clean!
Erin, I LOVE Sayhid!!!!
We love Sayid, too....
I think Shane and Brendan have man-crushes on him, b/c he is so hard-core! I, personally, think he is beautiful too.
(I really shouldn't post on here anymore).
I thought he was beautiful as Kip in the "English Patient." He was the love interest of Juliette Binoche. He has some fantastic curls.
I like Desmond just because of the way he says "brotha."
Erin, I stand corrected about Desmond's accent.
Angie, I've never seen The English Patient, and had no idea Naveen Andrews was in it. That makes me want to see it.
Maybe we should just collaborate and create "The Men of 'Lost'" calendar! :)
ang, just an opinion from the ga. peanut gallery, but i'd skip the english patient....darling i'll love you forever! let's crash our plane into the desert sand!! stew-pid..
The English Patient is painful to watch. I saw it as a freshman in college with my dad at the Tate Center theater. I really liked it then, but when I watched it a year later it was just awful (I got saved between the two viewings). I'm just saying that Naveen was looking good long before we had the pleasure of watching him on Lost.
that movie makes me mad, angie, because i like the actors in it a lot..it just seems sort of pointless..
Hey, I've noticed that the guys are unusually silent on this thread. Anyone care to comment on your favorite Lost character??? :)
