Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Matthew Fox, who portrays Jack, grew up on a ranch in which state?

Answer: Wyoming

Matthew Fox grew up on a ranch where his family raised horses, longhorn cattle, and grew barley. He had intended to go into Wall Street, but found his true calling in acting. He may be best known for his role on the series "Party Of Five" from the 1990's. (The show won the 1996 Golden Globe for Best Drama).
2. Evangeline Lilly, who plays Kate, temporarily lived in a grass hut with a missionary group in which exotic place?

Answer: The Philippines

Obviously this actress is not foreign to tropical jungles, which could be beneficial when stranded on the "Lost" island. She was involved in human rights and world development, and was going to be involved in international relations before acting. (She is even fluent in French, which also would have been useful on the island.)
3. Ian Somerhalder (Boone) was involved in modeling and was featured as the face for which popular clothing company?

Answer: GUESS?

Ian Somerhalder began his modeling career in New York at the age of ten. He was the face of "GUESS?" clothing for two consecutive years.

6. Where was Naveen Andrews (Sayid) born?

10. Jorge Garcia, who portrays Hurley, had to miss what important event while he was on "Lost" island?

Answer: His sister's wedding

Garcia first realized that acting might be in his future after playing a villain in his seventh grade musical. He has appeared in several stage productions, such as "Guys and Dolls" and "The Midnight Zone", as well as making regular or guest appearances on television series such as "Becker" and "Spin City".
