    Best known for Michael on LOST hide show

    After watching lost, I remember seeing him in other movies but I couldn't for the life of me remember which ones. And thats pretty sad because I am normally good at those type of things. The only thing I could remember about him was that he used to have dreads. After reading his Bio, I remembered his roles in other moves. I think Lost was the biggest role I'd ever seen him in. As far as his character on Lost, I felt he should have done better considering the previous experience he has had. He is no rookie to the acting game but his performance in lost made him look like one.

    I never recognized Harrold before seeing him on television's "Lost," but now that I do, I still can't picture him in any of the films that he's done. That said, I can't very well grade him that high. However, he does pull of the role of Michael on "Lost" really well.

    I never knew that Harold, who plays Michael on Lost has such a histroy of movies and TV shows. It does show in his acting as nothing looks new to him.
