LOST's New Visitors: The Freighter People
Well for those of you up to speed on LOST Spoilers, there is not much new, but this is our first real look at the details of each on the new Freighter People, Daniel Faraday (Jeremy Davies), Charlotte Staples Lewis (Rebecca Mader), Miles (Ken Leung), and Frank Lapidus (Jeff Fahey).
As we all know the Naomi's friends arrive to the island this week in Episode 2 Confirmed Dead, so read below to find out what the actors think about the new characters they play.
This is a scan of the most recent TV Guide. I know in this scan it is hard to read the details so I have posted the FULL transcript below. If we are able to get another one we will post it later.
Thanks to Monster ate the Island for the scan and Transcript.

KEN LEUNG "Miles" Lost executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse created the role of Miles specificly for New York City native Ken Leung after catching his live-wire preformance as Uncle Junior's unstable prote..ge.. in The Sopranos last year. Before signing on to the super-secrate ABC series, though, the actor--who also played the porcupine-esque Kid Omega in "The X-Men: The Last Stand" --Called Cuse and attempted to pry some info out of him. "After our conversation," Leung admits, "I was still more or less blind." Allow us to fine-tune the picture: Miles, like The Sapronos' Carter, is a hothead, but he is a uniquely gifted one. "He's after something he can get on the island." Leung reveals. "Or somebody." That part has proven easy in one respect. "Miles doesn't know how to be social, which is great,"Leung says, "because I don't know how to be social either."
REBECCA MADER "Charlotte" Lost's lone new girl, Rebecca Mader, wants to treated like one of the boys. "People see me as the girlie-girl so I am always in full-on hair, make-up and heels in everything I do," groans the actress, who made fashionable apperances in "The Devil Waers Parada" and Fox's short-lived 2006 six series Justice. "I was sick of it. I have this tomboy side, and really wanted to do action stuff." Wish granted: One of Mader's first Lost scenes found her hanging upside down from a tree. "I was so happy!" she excliams. Likewise, her character, Charlotte-- who was changed from American to British after producers met the Cambridge, England-born actress--is thrilled about her arrival on the island. Maybe too thrilled. Could Charlotte prove to be nefarious? "Tune in baby," Mader says with a laugh. "It's gonna be good!"
JEFF FAHEY "Lapidus" Jeff Fahay hadn't seen one episode of Lost before landing on the Emmy-winning drama. But that's because the veteran actor ("The Lawnmower Man" and the '90's series The Marshal) had taken hiatus from Hollywood to work with orphanages in Afganistan. While it's a pursuit the soft-spoken Fahey is passionate about, it's not one he's particularly eager on: "I don't want [it] to take focus from the show." He's chattier about play-ing bushy-bearded Lapudis, the pilot of the helicopter responsible for bringing the freighter folks to the island. "It's a dream job," he says, "especially for someone who has been kicking around so long." And an experience, Fahey claims, tht really isn't really so differant from his off-screne endeavors. "It's fascinating to go from Kabul to living in Waikiki," he admitts. "But they're all just part of the journey."
JEREMY DAVIES: "Faraday" With the twitchy delivery of one line---"Rescuing your people, can't really say it's our primary objective"--Jeremy Davies manages to send chills down the spines of the survivors of Flight 815 and viewers. The film actor ("Saving Private Ryan") has a way with words off screen as well. Take his self-deprecating explanation for joining the show: "The creaters of Lost are endowed with some seriously certified, god-sized talent. For a misfit like me, an offer to make coffee for those gentlemen is one I'd find terribly difficult to pass up." Fortunately, producers instead asked Davies to play the mysteriously troubled, intensely intellegent Farady, who has a proclivity for both island experiments and mumbling. It's a character Davies, who studied quantum physiscs for fun, has embraced. "Faraday may be contending with a seismic metamorphosis under the surface. How's that for enigmatic?"
