For the duration of its six seasons, Lost was appointment viewing.
From 2004 to 2010, viewers would gather around their televisions each week to watch the latest instalment of the drama, which followed a group of plane crash survivors stranded on an island in the South Pacific. Whatever happened (and no matter how outlandish or confusing things became), new episodes of Lost always meant guaranteed conversation the following day, no matter what you were doing.
Because of this, the cast, like Evangeline Lilly, Emilie de Ravin, Terry Quinn and Daniel Dae Kim, became the most familiar of faces.
Among the large ensemble cast, no one became more familiar than Matthew Fox as protagonist Jack Shepherd.

And yet, since 2010's love-it-or-hate-it Lost finale, Fox's acting appearances have been few and far between.
He repeatedly stated he was "done with television" following Lost's run, and pivoted to mostly film roles.
