If we're gonna be specific, it's actually across to Dublin.

Agreed.


I'd love to meet him, Locke's my favourite character, but I probably wouldn't walk up to him on the street, I wouldn't wanna piss him off - he'd probably blow up my car!

He came into a shop I work in. He was looking to buy some Galway GAA stuff but didnt really have what he was looking for. He was a really down to earth guy. No one was going near him then two americans came running in and launched themselves on him. After he was finished I shock his hand and told him how much I loved the program and that I thought they all gave him a hard time. We chatted for about 5 minuets and he left the shop. First celeb I have ever met.

This whole thread should be in spoilers.

This means it couldn't have been John Locke in the coffin.

Lost is real, right??

In the next season, will he be wearing a Galway jersey and flinging sharpened hurleys around instead of knives?

Yeah he had that kinda crazed look in his eye. Was bulling to ask him and see if I could get any secrets but was delighted just to get to say hello to him.

I thought in Episode 23 the guy at the funeral home referred to the person in the cofin as "She". Will have to back and look at it again and see.

Don't think the person's gender was specified at all actually and I've seen the episode 3 times already.

Does Terry O'Quinn have any Irish heritage? With a name like O'Quinn it seems very likely and would explain why he's in Ireland.

From IMDB.com:

Terry O'Quinn
advertisement Date of Birth

Birth Name
Terrance Quinn


Nickname
Mister Ten Thirteen


Height
6' 1½" (1.87 m)


Spouse
Laurie (1979 - present) 2 children


Trivia
Was once a bodyguard

Is good friends with 1013 Productions' Chris Carter, having appeared in most of his work: as a guest star in two episodes of "The X Files" (1993), a supporting role in The X Files (1998) and recurring roles on "Harsh Realm" (1999) and "Millennium" (1996).

He was raised in Michigan.

He elongated his last name to "O'Quinn" from his real name of "Quinn" to distinguish himself from another person named Terry Quinn already acting in films.

He has been balding since his early 20s and has appeared with a partially or entirely shaved head in most of his films.

Irish-American.

Has been experienced in percussion since high school.

Has had roles in both of J.J. Abrams' hit television series, "Alias" (2001) and "Lost" (2004).

Not many know that he is a talented guitarist and singer. He is a particularly big Neil Young fan and can apparently do a dead-on impression of him.

Although always friendly onset, he keeps private and mysterious habits apart from his younger "Lost" (2004) co-stars, who often get together for wild parties when not shooting. He keeps this enigmatic aura so they will regard him similarly to the way they regard his mysterious character Locke.

He is one of the few cast members of "Lost" (2004) who did not have to audition, because his former collaborator (from "Alias" (2001)) J.J. Abrams thought of O'Quinn for the part of Locke before the actor was even offered it.

Has 2 sons: Oliver (23 years) and Hunter (21 years)

Graduated from the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa.

He graduated from Central Michigan University.

Has appeared in episodes of two different television series with the same name. Both "Millennium" (1996) and "Lost" (2004) have had episodes featuring O'Quinn called "Walkabout".

In an episode of "Lost" (2004), his character Locke's parents were played by Kevin Tighe and Swoosie Kurtz, who are both only eight years O'Quinn's senior.

Has an Irish Terrier named 'Reggie'

My father's family came from Ireland, and
though I haven't been bitten by that particular bug, I'm told they came from County Antrim which is, I believe, in the north.
Ask your dad.....................Lots of Quinns in Antrim I think.

Cheers, Terry

from terry's mouth on the fuselage where he has been asked this question a gizzillion times !!

My friend saw him going into the Shell garage in Douglas, Cork to buy something.

Apparently he is in Kinsale at the moment.

Ger Loughnane would make lost even better. He could be the new demon for Locke on the island after his auld man's kiling.

Every American I seem to talk to as some Irish heritages so thats not surprising

Killaqueen!!!

You're not Irish if you're born outside Ireland and thats that!

Maybe in the next series of Lost there'll be an outbreak of cryptosporidium in the rivers from not having toilets...
