John SAYS

Previous Quote

I've played a lot of computers, and I'm pretty sure they don't know how to cheat. That's what makes humans so distinctly wonderful.

    to Locke:

    "You're still crippled by the memories of the man you used to be before you came to this island. And you'll never be free until you release the hold your father has over you."

  • Ben Linus
    to Locke:

    "I can't wait to show you what this island can do -- but unfortunately, you're not ready, John."

  • Ben Linus
    to Locke:

    "You'll still be the same pathetic little man who got kicked off his Walkabout tour because he couldn't walk."

CHARACTER BIO

OFF THE ISLAND: By turning the frozen donkey wheel, Locke was transported off the island. With the help of Widmore, Locke attempted to reunite the Oceanic 6 to get them to return to the island before being murdered by Ben


RETURN TO THE ISLAND: Locke's body is taken aboard Ajira Airways Flight 316. On the island, he, or at least his physical form, awakens in the present.

ACTOR BIO

It's clear that this gifted actor is a favorite of series creator J.J. Abrams, after initially starring on Alias before moving over to Lost. He's also a hit with us, as well!

After earning his stripes in theatrical productions in the late '70s and early '80s, Terry O'Quinn burst onto the scene for film fans as Jerry Blake, the seemingly gentle but actually maniacal master of the house, in The Stepfather. His other film credits include Young Guns, The Rocketeer, Places in the Heart, The Cutting Edge, Primal Fear, The Forgotten One and Black Widow.

O'Quinn was a regular on Chris Carter's series Millennium and Harsh Realm, and appeared in recurring roles on The West Wing, Alias and JAG.

In 2007 O'Quinn won an Emmy Award for his role on Lost.

He and his wife, Lori, have two sons, Oliver and Hunter.
