I'd never seen Terry O'Quinn's work before the pilot of "Lost." For me, he completely stole the show, particularly in the first season, and his performance in the episode "Walkabout" should have singularly earned him an Emmy Award on the spot. I'm very glad he won the Emmy… More eventually, but as is too common with awards, it was mis-timed. He should have won it for Season One. As an actor, he continues to impress me every week, even though I am not as enthusiastic about where the story has taken his character. But, as an audience, we must evaluate performance separately from plot. This guy is the real deal as an actor. I only hope that he finds roles as wonderful as Locke, once "Lost" is over.

The man who played John Locke returns to Hawaii, but this time he ain't on no walkabout. First trailer of him in action inside!
terry is one best character actor i seen. he can go from playing scary person in some of his early firms, to playing the CAG inJAG, to Locke in lost and now an navy seal in 5.0. which i have to say personally is one of his best but then i have always love him in uniform and lets faces it he dose navy so well its had to tell its not real navy
I simply can't forget his role as the stepfather - evil to the core! Locke is only a minor stretch for this guy. Heck, he even had hair then.
His acting as Locke is without a doubt superb. He starts out as a guy in a chair, and ends up as likely the strongest guy on the island. There is no doubt from the look (Locke) in his eye this guy could put a "bullet in your a**" in a heartbeat - yet, he seems to be concerned for his fellow passengers. All - in - all, a great character!
Terry O'Quinn simply must be forgive for some of his earlier acting roles, even though they weren't all bad.
For now, he is the incomparable John Locke, on the best show on TV. His character - the depths, the dimensions, the intensity of his character is simply freaking amazing. He is a marvel of an actor - one whom only comes along once every 20 years or so. He has it all - charisma, workmanship, looks, tenacity, faith and belief. His belief and his values have saved him on LOST. If you are a true fan of LOST, you are either a man of science (Jack) and follow his beliefs, or you are a man of faith (Locke), and follow with him. Me? No question............. I'm with Locke all the freaking way.
Terry O'Quinn is a very talented actor who's best known for playing the character John Locke on the t.v. show, Lost. Locke is basically the "Man of Faith" on the island and believes everything happens for a reason and destiny decides everything. I think his best moments on the show are when he's with Ben Linus, played by Michael Emerson. When those two are together you're bound to have a good scene. I know that Terry was in films and other t.v. shows, but Lost is definately his best accomplishment. I hope he stays on Lost until the end. The End.
Terry O 'Quinn plays my favourite character on the hit show Lost. He plays John Locke, a " rugged ", know how guy, who seems to have that survival instinct, backed up with just brilliant leadership qualities. Terry has been on since the pilot episode of Lost and played a very big role throughout the whole story that has unfolded, his character of Locke, has grown more important in this latest season in my opinion.
The show would not be the hit it was without John Locke, and Ill be watching any of his other shows to come in the future.
