‘Lost’ Ended 15 Years Ago: Where Is the Cast Now?

Whether it was the mystery of the hatch, the Man in Black or a flash sideways, few shows have ever kept viewers guessing quite like Lost. The ABC hit, which centered on a group of plane crash survivors landing on a mysterious island, aired for six seasons from 2004 to 2010. The sci-fi drama was a cultural sensation and one of the most impactful TV series of its era — a time when those DVD box sets sparked the early days of modern binge-watching. While fans at the time fought over whether Kate belonged with Jack or Sawyer and sang along to “Make Your Own Kind of Music,” "the show’s cast rose to stardom. Since the series finale, however, many have faded from the spotlight, including show lead Matthew Fox, who quit acting for several years before a recent return. Keep scrolling to see what the cast of Lost is up to now:

After starring as Jack Shephard on Lost, Fox landed a handful of major movie roles in the early 2010s. He earned credits in Alex Cross, World War Z, Extinction and more before taking a hiatus from acting.

Fox says he left acting in 2015 to pursue other interests, including music, before returning in 2022 with a role in the Peacock miniseries Last Light. In August 2024, he joined the cast of the Yellowstone spinoff The Madison.

Before leaving the limelight, Fox faced controversy when a bus driver accused him of assault in 2011. She withdrew her suit in 2012, and Fox denied the allegations.

Fox has been married to wife Margherita Ronchi since 1992, and the pair share daughter Kyle and son Byron. 

Lilly was already landing major movie roles like The Hurt Locker while Lost was airing, and when the show ended, she found new life in the Marvel universe. She played Hope Van Dyne/Wasp in four movies, as well as TV and video game adaptations of Marvel stories. 

In June 2024, she announced she was “stepping away” from acting. 

“I might return to Hollywood one day, but, for now, this is where I belong,” she wrote via Instagram.

Lilly dated Lost costar Dominic Monaghan while the show was filming from 2004 to 2007. In 2010, she married husband Norman Kali, with whom she shares two kids. 

Monaghan has kept busy since his character Charlie’s memorable death on Lost, appearing in X-Men and Star Wars films and doing plenty of voiceover work.

He hosted Wild Things With Dominic Monaghan from 2012 to 2016, which sent him to exotic and dangerous locations around the globe.

These days, he’s working with fellow Lord of the Rings actor Billy Boyd on the food travelogue series Billy and Dom Eat the World.

Immediately after Lost, Holloway scored roles in Cougar Town and Community, but other than a recurring role in Yellowstone in 2020, the man once voted second-sexiest star in Hollywood has stayed offscreen.

Holloway seems to have fully embraced dad life with wife Yessica and their kids, daughter Java and son Hunter Lee. His Instagram is littered with photos of the three of them, with some pics of reunions with his Lost costars sprinkled in.

Andrews’ most recent acting credit came with a five-episode run on Fox drama The Cleaning Lady in 2022. He will soon be back at work, however, reuniting with Lost costar Ken Leung in Last Days, a film by Justin Lin. He also starred alongside Amanda Seyfried in Hulu’s The Dropout, a fictionalized take on the Elizabeth Holmes scandal.

Andrews shares son Jaisal with ex Geraldine Feakins and son Naveen Joshua with ex Elena Eustache.

De Ravin’s biggest role after Lost was in Once Upon a Time, in which she appeared as Belle for 117 episodes between 2012 and 2018. Next up, she will star alongside Finn Wittrock in indie drama The Submarine Kid.

She and husband Eric Bilitch share three children, daughter Vera Audrey, son Theodore Kubrick, and daughter Alice Enid.

Lost’s Man of Faith has racked up the TV credits since the show ended. He appeared on The Blacklist and The Blacklist: Redemption as Howard Hargrave before moving onto roles in Hawaii Five-0, Pieces of Her, FBI: Most Wanted and more. He also played Major General Beale on The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.

He shares sons Oliver and Hunter with ex-wife Lori O’Quinn.

When Lost wrapped, Garcia scored roles on Alcatraz, Californication and How I Met Your Mother. His next break came in 2013 when Hawaii Five-0 cast him as Jerry Ortrega, whom he played for 130 episodes. Most recently, Garcia starred in the Max series Bookie, created by Nick Bakay and Chuck Lorre. 

Garcia married actress Rebecca Birdsall in 2019.

Emerson played Harold Finch in the CBS series Person of Interest from 2011 to 2016 and Dr. Leland Townsend in the Paramount+ series Evil, starting in 2019.

With Lost recently hitting Netflix, TV Insider caught up with him in a story published July 1 to look back on the series.

“He was so dangerous, such a good game player,” Emerson said of his character, Ben Linus. “He was smart. But then in another five seasons, we think we feel differently about him. He used to be the Other. Now he’s our Other, he’s had a long and difficult life of his own, and some of his enemies are our enemies. Too.”

Emerson married wife Carrie Preston in 1998. (She had a brief cameo on Lost as Ben’s mother.)

If Desmond is your constant, you’ve probably kept up with Cusick since Lost ended. It hasn’t been particularly difficult. The actor has done it all in the last decade-plus, scoring roles on Scandal, MacGyver, Big Sky, The 100 and NCIS: Hawaii, 9-1-1: Lone Star and more.

Cusick and his wife, Annie Cusick Wood, share three sons, Eli, Lucas, and Esau.

When Lost ended, Kim took the role of Chin Ho Kelly on Hawaii Five-0, appearing in 168 episodes from 2010 to 2017. That remains the only show that Kim has done more episodes for than Lost. More recently, he played Fire Lord Ozai on Avatar: The Last Airbender. 

Kim and his wife, Mia Rhee, married in 1993 and share sons Zander and Jackson.

Kim, who played the covertly English-speaking Sun on Lost, most recently popped up on screens in a two-episode guest appearance on Station 19, where she played Jinny Lee, character Natasha Ross’ sister. She was also in the Netflix series XO, Kitty and Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area.

Kim married her former manager, Jeong Hyeok Park, in Hawaii in 2010, the day after she filmed some of her final scenes for Lost.

After playing Sayid’s love interest on Lost and Liam Neeson’s daughter in the Taken franchise, Grace became a regular in the Walking Dead universe. She appeared in 50 episodes of Fear the Walking Dead as Althea.

In an interview with The Independent in June 2024, Grace called being killed off of Lost “still the worst heartbreak” of her career.

She added that her character “was sort of a caricature of white privilege before that was a phrase, you know? And maybe I was just too good at my assigned job of being incredibly annoying.”

Grace married CEO Brent Bushnell in 2017, and the two welcomed a son in October 2020.

Carbonell most recently played Yanko Flores on popular Apple+ series The Morning Show and Vasco Rodriguez on Hulu’s Shogun.

Carbonell and his wife, Shannon Kenny, have two sons, Rafael and Marco.

After appearing in a host of big-name TV shows (Law & Order: SVU, Criminal Minds and Blade), Perrineau has found a home on another sci-fi adventure series: MGM+’s From. He played lead character Boyd Stevens for the first two seasons, with the third set to premiere in 2024.

Perrineau shares three daughters with his wife, model and actress Brittany Robinson.

Kelley played Perrineau’s son, Walt, on Lost, appearing as a regular cast member in season 1 and then sporadically after that as the teenager’s real-life rapid growth became difficult to conceal.

After Lost, he popped up on shows like Bones, The Closer, and My Name is Earl and in the film Detroit. He also joined Tony Oller to make up the pop and hip hop duo MKTO. The group’s second single, “Classic” peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. The band remained active on its YouTube channel until 2022.

Kelley released a solo single, “Ain’t No Way,” in January 2024.

After Lost, Davies pivoted to Justified where he played Dickie Bennett for 20 episodes from 2011 to 2015, winning an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series. He’s currently working on The Black Phone 2, a sequel to the 2021 horror movie he also appeared in.

After appearing in the second and third Santa Clause movies before her days on Lost, Mitchell reprised her role as Mrs. Clause in the TV series The Santa Clauses from 2022-23. Fans may recognize her from the TV series Revolution or the movie The Purge: Election Year. She also portrayed Carla Limbrey in the second and third seasons of Outer Banks. 

Mitchell was married to actor Chris Soldevilla from 2004 to 2013, and the two share 19-year-old son CJ.
