Sterling Beaumon (Young Ben) Phone Interview

  Yesterday was a fun day. For about 18 minutes I stopped working in the salt mines and called LOST actor Sterling Beaumon on the phone for an arranged interview. It's difficult to hear my part of the conversation since my cell phone was nearly out of range, however Sterling (who plays young Ben on LOST) comes in mostly loud and clear. Tonight's episode (3/18/2009) , Namaste, is the first of a 4 episode character arc involving young Ben. The first 3 episodes are entitled Namaste, He's Our You and Dead is Dead while the title of his 4th episode may possibly be top secret. He confirms the story that an actor revealing show secrets is subject to a 5 million dollar fine and adds that such an actor would no longer appear in the show. Yikes!



  I was pleased to discover that Sterling is a real fan of the show. He checks the message boards and listens to the podcasts like the ABC podcast with writers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. He reveals that he knows writer Damon Lindelof and has met Carlton Cuse. I knew that Lindelof had given him 3 LOST theories while guaranteeing that one of them is actually true. The theories are as follows:
(1) Locke is Ben's Brother
(2) Charlotte is little Annie years later
(3) Miles is the son of Marvin Candle

  Sterling is convinced that theory 1 may actually be valid since John Locke's mother did not die and would be older by the time Ben was born. Both women have the same hair and eye color. We also talked about the fact that both women cried out similarly: Name him John! and Name him Benjamin!
