Matthew
Fox Drives Carefully to Keep Job
4/29/08
Lost star Matthew Fox has a new reason to drive carefully - he could
lose his job if caught flouting the highway code.
Four characters on the hit show have been axed after the actors
portraying them were arrested by Hawaii police for unruly driving.
And now Fox, who plays plane crash survivor Jack Shephard, hits the
road with caution - for fear of being fired from the program.
Fox says, "We've a running joke on the Lost set that anyone
arrested for DUI (driving under the influence) gets killed off in the
show. So I slow down now."
DUI incidents have plagued the Lost cast in Hawaii - castmates Cynthia
Watros and Michelle Rodriguez both pleaded guilty to driving under the
influence in January 2006 and April 2007 respectively. Daniel Dae Kim, who
stars as the program's Jin-Soo Kwon, was also arrested on the same charge
last year (07).
British actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje was also arrested for driving
without a license and disobeying a police officer.
