Most Recent Appearance
There's No Place Like Home (3)
Thursday 29 May 2008 on ABC
As the face-off between the survivors and the freighter people continues, the Oceanic Six find themselves closer to rescue.
Sonya doesn't watch the show Lost where she plays Penny. She doesn't watch TV at all.
(edit)
Sonya played the role of David Frost's girlfriend Caroline Cushing in Peter Morgan's Tony award-winning Broadway play Frost/Nixon which was directed by Michael Grandage.
(edit)
As of 2008, she resides in Los Angeles.
(edit)
Her first U.S. role was in 2001 when she was cast as Donna Barnes on the HBO series The Mind of the Married Man.
(edit)
Sonya was originally cast to play the role of Kate Austen in Lost. When she refused to move to Hawaii, the role went to Evangeline Lilly.
(edit)
Sonya: (on coming back to "Lost") I'm guessing I will, but I make no assumptions with Lost. You know, if they call me I'm delighted, and if they don't, that's fine too.
(edit)
Sonya: (on how involved the fans get with the show "Lost") I think it's funny but also understandable when you've got writing that's as smart as that. It's inevitable that people are going to want to examine it more closely I think.
(edit)
Sonya: (on fan response on her doing "Lost") I was touched and delighted that people respond and reach out and want to talk to me about my work. It's lovely, but kind of amazing when I think that I've only done five episodes of the show and I've done whole seasons of other shows and not elicited a response like this.
(edit)
Sonya: (the show being "Tell Me You Love Me") I think most of us who are in a committed relationship want it to work and this show deals very honestly with the huge difficulties, even though you want it to work, that you are still confronted with.
(edit)
Sonya: (on physical training for "Quest for the Spear") I have no martial arts training so I acquired all the martial arts training in four weeks. It was a crash course on how to kick butt...I don't want to claim any black belt knowledge, but I can do the 12 moves I've been taught to do convincingly. It's great to go to bed and be physically tired, not just drained from sitting around for 12 hours.
