“Lost” adds John Hawkes (played Sol Star from “Deadwood” and co-starred in “Eastbound & Down”) to its final season as a recurring role.  Producers are tight-lipped about Hawkes’ character, but according to the cast breakdown:

“Lennon is the scruffy, edgy and charismatic spokesperson and translator for the president of a foreign corporation who is far more powerful than it seems from his position.”

Hawkes has been nominated for outstanding performance of ensemble cast awards for both “American Gangster” and “Deadwood”.
