Harold Perrineau is One of The Unusuals

June 2, 2008


"Lost" star Harold Perrineau has joined ABC's one-hour pilot "The Unusuals," says The Hollywood Reporter.

"The Unusuals," from Sony TV, is a comedy-drama set at a New York police precinct.

Perrineau will play Det. Leo Banks, who is always agitated and never takes off his Kevlar vest as he worries that he might die.

Based on Harold's interviews related to his recent run on Lost, I hope this show and just about anything else he touches fails miserably.

Harold is being a big baby about his recent death on Lost and he threw in the race card. He thinks it was stupid for him to come back and die and he thinks its racist that he didn't get a happy ending with Walt but Desmond gets a reunion with Penny. But what he fails to realize that nobody likes Michael, and everybody loves Desmond. Well maybe not everyone, but a majority.

Yeah, dude's a tool. I love his previous roles- as Mercutio in Romeo + Juliet and as Link in the 2/3 Matrix movies, but Michael's character served his purpose. No one likes Micahel, he's an ass and a traitor. He didn't even have to get a DUI to get killed. Sucks for him, but don't be a puss.

I'm a huge fan of Lost and I'm so glad Michael's dead all he did was yell "Walt" throughout all of season 1. They should have shot him on his stupid raft.

I'm glad Clarie "It's MAHHHHHH BAAAAABBBBYYY!" will be gone too.

AND, he should quit whining, cause just cause your dead doesn't mean you're gone...

Give the guy a break. Harold was simply upset because he felt that Michael did not get to finish his story. He was right about that. Most characters on Lost that have died, have done so after redeeming themselves in the eyes of others and while Michael redeemed himself, none of the other characters except Desmond know that. The people Michael wronged the most (Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sawyer) had no idea what he was trying to do. It would have been nice if they had been able to wrap it up a little tighter is all Harold was saying. And the race thing was just his point of view about Walt now being another African American fatherless child on television. That's not playing the "race card", that's an opinion, which in this country, everyone is entitled to.

So, again, I say give the guy a break.
