Do you do a lot of
fishing? I was raised in Wyoming, and I'm sort of a
fly-fisherman, so I have not done any deep-sea fishing. I plan on
doing that, though. One of the guys on the show, Josh Holloway, got
a boat because he is really into it. One of these days I'm going to
go out with him. He invites me all the time. We have not had an
opportunity to do that just yet, but we will.
Have you taken any excursions to
other islands? We spent some time on Kauai and Maui. My wife
and I recently went to the Big Island to spend an anniversary,
actually. We had a really wonderful time. The Big Island is huge,
and it's very volcanic. It's sort of dry. It's an incredible place.
It goes from sea level to 13,800 feet in about a 40-mile stretch.
Everywhere you look, there is black volcanic rock. You can go out
in the volcanic fields that are hot and pretty dangerous too.
You've got to be careful.
Where are the places you have
filmed episodes of Lost
that people could recognize from the
show? The North Shore is where we shoot all the beach
stuff. There is a place up there called Police Beach, a.k.a.
Papailoa Beach. It's pretty restricted. I mean, we do have
people coming out to the island now and trying to find
locations and going to see where we are shooting. I can tell
you that we have a security system, so that's not the easiest
thing in the world to do. But there are places on the North
Shore that they would totally recognize. They could go over
to the beach where we shot the pilot. It's a beach people
hang out on. But I can't even tell you the name of that
beach. You know, I've kind of gotten the local mentality
around here. You ask a lot of locals what the names of things
are, and they don't know. They can tell you how to get there,
but people don't pay attention to the names of things. You
ask for directions around here, and they are like, "Well, you
go down here, and when you get to that bunch of trees, you go
right there, and then drive along and you'll see a bridge,
and you take a left after that."
