10 Actors You Probably Forgot Were On Lost

3. Dean Norris

Like Kober, what hasn't Dean Norris been in? Chances are, if there's a show you like, he's popped up on it. Despite a film and television career that extends all the way back to the '80s, it's hard to deny that his most identifiable role -- and the one he will most be remembered for by the general public -- was his six-year spin as the lovable, determined DEA agent Hank Schrader on Breaking Bad. Though he started working on that show in 2008 and would continue to until the show's final batch of episodes in 2013, Norris continued to stay busy throughout, appearing on shows such as CSI, True Blood, Medium and, of course, Lost. In the Miles-centric season 5 episode "Some Like it Hoth," Norris played a grieving father who called upon Miles to communicate with his recently-deceased son. In an episode that covers so much ground from Miles' discovery of his abilities as a child to his recruitment by Naomi to head to the island, along with the on-island situation involving Miles coming face-to-face with the father he never knew growing up, Dr. Pierre Chang, it's easy to forget Norris' fleeting, low-key appearance.
