Actor Terry O'Quinn talked with Illinois Wesleyan students |
March 4, 2008
BLOOMINGTON, Ill. – Actor Terry O’Quinn is in an elite circle. Not just because millions of people tune in each week to see him on the hit ABC television series LOST, but because he can call himself that rare honor – a working actor.
“Work. Work when you can, any way you can,” said O’Quinn, sharing his insights on the acting profession to a room full of theatre students at Illinois Wesleyan University on Tuesday. The actor addressed three classes and an open forum Monday and Tuesday before returning to Hawaii to resume filming of the television show.
O’Quinn is the older brother of Illinois Wesleyan’s Visiting Assistant Professor of Theatre Arts Thomas Quinn, and offered to speak to his brother’s theatre classes during a visit. “His wife’s family lives on the East Coast, so he’s flying back and forth all the time,” said Quinn. “The trick was just getting him to land.”

ecstaticWith the news that the LOST gang has submitted "The Man from Tallahassee" for the consideration of this year's Emmy panel (A VERY good choice, I think) you have to wonder if we are going to see a repeat of the 2005 showdown which pitted Naveen Andrews against Terry O'Quinn in the Best Supporting Actor category. (William Shatner won, I think.)
It is seriously inconceivable to me that this episode will not bring a Best Supporting Actor nomination for both Terry O'Quinn as well as Michael Emerson. Both men were in their A-Game and the episode was, without a doubt, the most cleverly plotted, self fulfilling episode of the season. Not one of the many twists executed in "Tallahassee" was executed without the finely nuanced performance of one or both of these men.
We won't know for sure until July 19th how well LOST will fare at this years Emmys, but let's assume that I am right (for once), and we do wind up with an O'Quinn vs Emerson showdown in the Best Supporting Actor slot. Who do you think will/should win, and why?
