ADD TRIVIA
- Harold's wife, Brittany Perrineau, has also appeared on three episodes of Lost.

- Harold is set to appear in four movies in 2007: Your Name Here, Gardens of the Night, 28 Weeks Later..., and Random Acts of Kindness.

- Harold originally turned down the audition for his Lost role of Michael Dawson, as it would have meant he had to leave the two-man play he was currently doing two weeks before it's end. Luckily for him, the auditions were changed and was able to audition for Lost after all.

ADD QUOTES
- Harold Perrineau Jr.: (on the twist to his character in the second season of Lost) He's been such an honest guy, just a good Joe kind of guy, just trying to get his son back. So, to throw this kind of twist really just comes out of nowhere, and I think that'll be exciting. I'm an actor who likes to have lots of weird, crazy things to play, and that seemed pretty weird and crazy. To be, like, the bringer of death.
  Edit Share Hide
- Harold Perrineau Jr.: (on co-stars Michelle Rodriguez and Cynthia Watros) Michelle brings this really great, energetic personality to the set, and it was really a lot of fun to have her around. And Cynthia's just the consummate professional, and she's an East Coast girl, so we click on that level.
  Edit Share Hide
- Harold Perrineau Jr.: (on his Lost character, Michael Dawson) I have aspirations that not only does he come around but that he gets to be the hero and eventually gets to have some luck. A lot of what happens to Michael Dawson is that he's had a lot of bad luck. Bad things keep happening over and over and over. So, there's a part of me that hopes he has some good luck, that some good things happen to him. Then there's that other part of me that wants to explore what happens to people who have bad luck like that all the time.
