Hi there William, the names Liz and I think you are a very good actor and the job you did of Ethan was really amazing. I found him to be a very interesting character and it was a shame that he was shot before we could find out more about him.

My question for you is about the fight scenes you did, I was wondering if you are a trained fighter or not because the way that you fought in each fight scene looked very professional. I have spoken to a lot of people who are trained fighters and they have said that you look like you know what you were doing, we also thought you fought very much like the Agents did in the Matrix movies (A very straight and up front style). We had a good laugh trying to imagine Ethan in a suite and dogging bullets and chasing Neo all over the place:grin: . So are you a trained fighter or were you just trained for the fight scenes in Lost, also did you have fun doing the fight scenes?

Anyway cheers for interacting with us fans and keep up the amazing work.

akasha,

first, let's get one thing straight. a suit would be no problemo for ol' ethan. he could fight in pajamas if he needed to. not that he'd want to, you understand. he'd rather bake scones. but if the need arose, oh yeah, a suit would be just fine..
thank you for the nods on my fighting. i have fought in acting scenes before, but a great deal of the credit for any success in the 'lost' scenes goes to the stunt coordinator and my stuntman, both of whom helped choreograph and prepare me. and, of course, credit goes to matthew, who was both safe and professional during the fighting. and yes, they were a ball!
