rdfs:comment
  • François Chau is an actor who has made several appearances on Lost as a Dr. Marvin Candle. The questions for this interview were submitted by members of the wiki and the forum. The interview was conducted via email on July 28, 2008, and was posted August 3, 2008. I was called in to audition for the role of "Dr. Marvin Candle" with a group of other actors. Luck was with me that day, and the fact that I was able to get through the the page monologue without making a mistake probably had a lot to do with my getting the job. Hi Sam. The name is "Lara."

I must admit that I did not watch the show too much in the first season. I had missed many episodes so I was a little "lost". Sorry... couldn't resist [the pun]. I watch it now, and I think I would be more of a fan if I was not a part of it. It's very hard sometimes to enjoy it when you know what's coming up. I don't have a "favorite" character, but I do like "Juliet" and "Sun". I had no idea whatsoever. I thought it was just for that episode and that was it. I guess my favorite would be the latest one. You find out who I really am. Maybe. I was just kidding when I said "maybe". As far as I know, Pierre is not lying. We shot the Orchid footage that was shown at last year's Comic-Con last summer, in LA, about a week or so before the convention. The footage seen in the show was shot in Hawaii around the end of last season. The role on "Lost" has certainly brought me more recognition than all the previous roles I've done. I am amazed at the letters I get from all over the world. At this point in the show, I would like to have more interaction with the other characters. I would like to have a scene with my friend Yunjin [Kim], who plays "Sun", although I don't know if we both would be able to get through the scene without breaking up into fits of laughter. All I can tell you is "yes" I know who did the voice, and "yes" it definitely is someone the audience has seen before. I did not really have any reaction to the "Pierre Chang". It does change my perception of the character a little bit. Of course, in the world of "Lost" you don't really know what's true, do you? I do wish that "Dr. Candle" would show up in the present time. Again, you don't really know what's true on "Lost" so being "dead" might not mean anything. I have no idea whatsoever about the arm. I just do what is written in the script. As far as I know, "Dr. Candle" will be back. As far as what I would like the character to do, I really don't know. I sort of enjoy seeing what the writers come up with each time. It's always been interesting. I have been doing a web series called "Gemini Division" with Rosario Dawson. I think it will debut sometimes in October. Hi Sam. The name is "Lara."
