We still don't know who, or what, 'Lennon' is - outside of the casting notice uncovered by Ausiello yesterday - but we know who will be playing him. John Hawkes, perhaps best known for his role on Deadwood, will be joining the LOST cast as Lennon. We still don't know how many episodes Hawkes will appear in.
Here is the original LOST casting notice which Ausiello released yesterday:
Lennon: Scruffy, edgy, charismatic, and slightly stir-crazy, Lennon can be deferential when it’s called for. He’s the spokesperson/translator for the president of a foreign corporation. He’s a wily negotiator, and far more powerful than his lowly position would seem to indicate. Recurring.
"Recurring" would suggest we'll be seeing a lot of Lennon. Not will that be in the future, the past, or the sideways of LOST? That we'll have to wait and find out when the series returns in early 2010. Lennon is the third Deadwood alum that we know of to be approached for a role on LOST. Titus Welliver appeared last season as "Man Number 2," and Kristin Bell was approached for the part of Charlotte, but turned the role down.
