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.

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.
Harold Perrineau Jr. (Junior) is a very very very great and talented actor who is not new to the business. He has had many success as playing back-up characters to shows, but he has had even more succes playing the lead. He has been on Oz and Lost. His most recent TV show apperance was on LOST, LOST is abc's hit TV show. Harold Perrineau Jr. (Junior)'s character is named Michael who has a son named Walt. They are both stranded on an island with many more passengers, and they trade their "friends" to get a boat ride out of the island.
He's definetly my favorite actor. I am not really into overrated Hollywood stars, coz there are just much better actors we don't see so often. The first thing I saw with Harold was "Oz", a great show by itself but he just made it even more awesome. And I thought he was so adorable I just wanted to hug him lol. In my opinion he is one of the most beautiful men, I just really love his face. But I got to say I liked him less when he cut off his dreads for "Lost" especially since I think the show wasn't worth the effort, and I only started watching it coz I heard he was in it. I also saw Romeo & Juliet, Matrix 2 & 3, Woman On Top and some other movie he was in. So yeah, he is pretty and he can act really good. undoubtedly, he is my favorite actor.
