    I absolutely love Naveen Andrews. In my opinion, he is hands down the best actor on Lost. I agree with the other Poster that Lost wouldn't be near as good as it is without him. He is dark and mysterious and his acting skills are so magnificent I forget hide show

    that he's an actor. I can't say the same about many actors or actresses. And his eyes! Without attempting to sound cliche', his eyes are incredible. He's an absolute GEM. He really needs to be given a bigger role on Lost. I've never been attracted to a darker man but he is definitely the exception to the rule. I'm so jealous of Barbara Hershey I can't even see straight. Anyway, I digress and I apologize. So back to Sayids role, definitely give him a larger role because without Naveen, well, Lost would be lost, and not in a good way.

    In a time when the word Iraq instills fear and hate in the heart of every American, can there possibly be any actor who could play a loveable Iraqi solider who Americans can take to...well yes there is. hide show

    Naveen Andrews has been in Lost for four seasons now and it is clear that he is one of the most complex and intriguing characters in the show. Naveen Andrews is certainly one of the mos talented actors in the show and his performances in nearly everyone of his episodes is stunning.
    In the season 2 episode, One of Them, Sayid comes across a man caught in one of Rousseau's traps and believes him to be one of the others (first appearance of Ben Linus as well, good times). Whilst questioning the man in the hatch, he lets his anger boil over and gives a heart breaking speech about how you would remember every moment of burying the woman that you loved. It is a well timed and well controlled performance which makes the viewer under stand his character on a deeper level.
    He also gave a great performance in Solitary, Collision, Enter 77 and The Economist and with his character being one of the Oceanic 6, here's hoping he will have plently of episodes to come.

    Conqueror hide show

    Conquistador: Naveen Andrews. Llegó de quién sabe dónde para brindarnos sus buenas actuaciones y apoderarse de nuestra capacidad de estar adelante del televisor diciendo: "Esto no se lo cree nadie". Lleno de carisma, hace de Sayid un personaje entrañable a pesar de su historia negra. Lo moldea a su manera tan dulce y encantadora, hace adorable un hombre de guerra. Por ahora es de todo de lo que puedo hablar, de su actuación en Lost. Espero seguir viéndolo y espiando como hace para actuar tan bien un personaje tan difícil.Supongo que es así en la vida real: encantador y fácil de llevar.
    Naveen Andrews: Conqueror of souls.

    Amazingly talented. hide show

    Naveen William Sidney Andrews plays a character named Sayid Jarrah on the television show Lost. Lost bacame a hit show straight after it started, keeping viewers hooked, and they couldnt have done it without the leading actors. Naveen plays a very important role in my eyes, he plays the character named Sayid, Sayid is a very "staunch" character, and has a huge aura that surrounds him in the show, as he was a former torturer before he landed on the island. I have never thought the same of him since that episode we found out.

    Sayid has been on since season 1 and right up till now he has astounded me in the character he is, which couldnt have been done without the actor Naveen, brilliant actor playing a brilliant role in a brilliant show!

    Review hide show

    His role on Lost is far too little for someone with as much talent as he has. His role on the show is sort of a mini leader, someone that never really steps up and takes the lead for a group of people but will do things by himself that really get everyones atttention later on (Season 1 going to find Danielle) I think that Season 1 he showed up a lot and I thought that was good, he wasnt written into the script as much in Season 2 and 3 which I thought was kind of a downer. I think that Lost is just that much better with him and I think his backstory is one of the more interesting ones on the show.
