Lost: How It Should Be Re-Cast In 2021
5. John Locke - Anthony Carrigan
One of the island's first mysteries wasn't the identity of the others or the state of the landscape itself, but rather the intentions of the elusive and peculiar John Locke. The more you learned about John, the more you saw things from his perspective, but it has to be said that he felt out of the ordinary right from the get-go, so his new actor would need to reflect that too.
In that case, Anthony Carrigan is perfect for the job. The first thing that strikes you about this actor is his bald head and slightly unsettling face. He has a look that's both intriguing and slightly off-putting, which aligns perfectly with how the show represents Locke at first. Plus, he's got plenty of experience playing quirky/creepy characters, Gotham being the best example.
He's also made it clear that he's excellent at funnier characters, like NoHo Hank in Barry and Dennis Caleb McCoy in Bill and Ted Face The Music. Thus, it's clear that the man's got versatility for days, which would help him out here.
