10 Actors Who HATED Making TV Shows

10. Evangeline Lilly - Lost

Even though Lost was the hit show that made Evangeline Lilly an overnight star, the actress has gone on record to note her dissatisfaction with working on the series in its later seasons in particular.

In a 2018 interview on The Lost Boys podcast, Lilly detailed her time working on Lost, and her increasing disappointment with the writing of her character, Kate, who Lilly described as "more and more predictable and obnoxious" as the show went on.

In Lilly's words, that Kate "went from being autonomous to chasing men around the island" "irritated the s**t" out of her. Lilly even said she would throw scripts across the room in rage after reading them.

But far worse than mere creative misgivings, Lilly also reported that she was "cornered" into performing a partial nude scene during season three which left her "mortified", and after another undressing scene was written into season four, she refused to perform any further unclothed scenes for the show's remainder.

This prompted Lost creators and producers J.J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof, Jack Bender, and Carlton Cuse to issue an apology to Lilly, and while she likely wouldn't have the career she has today without Lost, it was clearly a deeply bittersweet experience for her overall.
