…in addition to be part of JJ’s Fringe Lance Reddick is also a Lostie as well:

As for J.J. Abrams’s other conspiracy-laced hit, Reddick – who plays Matthew Abbadon, a creepy figure who’s supposedly a lawyer – just finished filming an episode of Lost in Hawaii.

Any hints? “I was with Terry O’Quinn throughout the entire episode,” says Reddick, referring to the actor who plays enigmatic island leader John Locke.

Asked whether he’s a good guy or a villain on the show, Reddick says, “This show is so secretive that the only thing I can say is that, whatever may happen in the show, Abbadon definitely thinks he’s a good guy. He’s convinced that he’s on the side of the angels.”

It’s also Kirk Acevedo (Agent Charlie Francis) with be 34th birthday tomorrow. Happy Birthday!

The episode revolves around FBI agent Olivia and her team when facing an extraordinary bank robberies. It shows how Olivia, Dr. Walter Bishop, and Peter are shocked to find one of the suspects inexplicably trapped inside a vault wall as if it is solidified around him. As the investigation goes further, the thieves ambush one of the trio.

Sure, he’d heard about the scathing reviews for Glitter. So Fringe star Lance Reddick didn’t know what to expect from Mariah Carey when they filmed the indie flick Tennessee.

But after their first scene – in which he shoves her up against a wall and grabs her face – the actor was pleasantly surprised.

“She pulled it off,” Reddick, acclaimed for his acting chops on HBO’s The Wire, tells PEOPLE. “She really took it seriously. She was committed to proving that she could do this.”

In the movie due out in January, Carey plays a waitress named Krystal, who tries to escape her abusive husband, portrayed by Reddick, by going on a road trip with two brothers.

Says the actor: “I saw all the subtlety in her work, and it’s really beautiful.”

Adding that Carey is “very sweet” in person, Reddick says, “After this, I think she’s going to have a film career, if she wants one. She is good.”

Also good? The success of Reddick’s FOX show, Fringe, where he plays a no-nonsense Homeland Security officer.

But, says Reddick, “We goof around a lot,” noting that Dawson’s Creek alum Joshua Jackson is a a big jokester.

So, Cerveris’ Off-Broadway show might not be making the big move, but he certainly is.

In other Broadway casting news, Michael Cerveris and Paul Sparks have joined Mary-Louise Parker in the Roundabout Theatre Company’s revival of Ibsen’s “Hedda Gabler.” The production, featuring a new adaptation by Christopher Shinn, opens Jan. 25 at the Roundabout’s American Airlines Theatre. Previews begin Jan. 6.

If there were ever plans to transfer Road Show, the long-in-arriving Stephen Sondheim-John Weidman musical starring Michael Cerveris and Alexander Gemignani, they are probably extinguished by now. The show, years in the making, officially opened at the Public Theater Nov. 18, and critics by and large found it wanting. Some cheered it as a beguiling chamber musical, fine on its own terms. But most found it slight and second-tier Sondheim, not having achieved its artistic goals or delved deeply enough into its examination of the American knack for potential and invention undermined by greed and connivery.

Cerveris plays The Observer on Fringe who has made a, however brief, appearance in each of the episodes thus far. He has quite a singing voice. If you’ve not heard him sing, you’re missing alot. Check him out as the lead in the revival cast of Sweeney Todd. For a taste click here.

John Noble (Walter) recently sat down to interview with Fox television about his role in Fringe, what he really thinks of Walter and his thoughts on “fringe science” amongst other things:

Fox: Do you have fun playing this character?

JN: Well, it’s as much fun as it looks like. I mean it’s an absolute hoot playing. It’s obviously got serious aspects to it, but I treat it as a hoot to play the thing. Preparation, well, that’s probably the hardest bit, getting the timing right and doing the preparation on the scientific work. But working on Fringe is a great job.

I mean it’s a great group of people to work with, and amazing scripts from the minds of J.J. Abrams and other people. They’re geniuses. Living inside their heads much be a very strange thing to do because they’re always coming up with something different. Overall, fantastic experience.”

Fox: How do you navigate the twists and turns?

JN: I kind of enjoy reading things that make me concentrate or watching things that make me concentrate, and so, you know, that’s what Fringe does. And I watched an episode on Tuesday night, and I was in it, but there were things I missed, and I said, what was that? What did they say there? So I mean it’s fascinating to be watching something that does require concentration.

Fox: How do you balance the sweet with the scary of your character?

JN: It’s the dark side to stuff, isn’t it? I guess it exists in all of us. But with “Walter,” because of who he is and how he is and how bright he is and how disturbed he is, it just sort of surfaces a bit more often and a bit more radically than it does in most of us.
I don’t find it that hard to find. I mean taking each moment when I’m doing a scene, I take each second and look at what’s gone through at that point, and sometimes those reactions just come out, to be honest with you, out of frustration, the character’s frustration, or out his greater purpose, whatever, out of his madness.

But it’s certainly interesting to play, and it shocks the people I’m playing with at times. You see these shocked reactions from the other actors, but that all makes some good fun too. I think there’s – as an actor, I always have to find a reason.

I can’t just sort of say something out of the blue, so I always find some sort of neural pathway in there, some image that it’s tapped. It’s like we are, we’ll see, we’ll smell something or we’ll hear a sound, and it’ll take us into a memory. You know how that happens to you as well?
And so it’s like he continually has these little memory jolts that will – but instead of keeping them to himself, he talks about them, and say, “I had a fruit cocktail once in Atlantic City.” And that’ll just come out because it’s a memory, so he’s quite inappropriate at times.

Joshua Jackson, who plays Peter Bishop on Fringe has recently been named one of People Magazine’s sexiest men alive. From People Magazine:

What’s changed since he was a Dawson’s Creek pinup? “I’m not nearly as embarrassed being called attractive at 30. At 18, you’re tall, gawky, bad haircut. Somebody tells you you’re a heartthrob and you feel like a fraud. At 30, I’m happy, I’m in love,” says Jackson, who dates actress Diane Kruger and stars on FOX’s paranormal drama Fringe. “I can take it all with a grain of salt.”
