As a father of two, Lost star Daniel Dae Kim knows a thing or two about parenthood – and he predicts that his co-star Josh Holloway “will be an incredible dad.”
“He’s a very sweet sensitive man,” Kim says of Holloway, who is best known as Lost’s sarcastic, shirtless rebel Sawyer, and who, in his real life, is expecting his first child with wife Yessica.
“When you talk to him about his baby, his face completely lights up,” adds Kim. “It’s really heartwarming to see that he and Yessica are just completely ready and can’t wait.”
As for his own family, Kim says they may stay in Hawaii where Lost is filmed, even after the show wraps.
“When we first got here it was like paradise camp,” says Kim, who’s married and has two sons, ages 12 and 7. “More than any of the other cast we’re giving serious consideration to staying here, at least through high school. It’s really great for family.”
Back from the Dead
In terms of his run on Lost, at the end of last season it looked like Kim’s days were numbered, but nobody was happier to learn that his character, Jin, had survived the freighter explosion on the season finale than Kim himself.
The 40-year-old actor tells PEOPLE that he learned of his fate from producers before receiving the script. “They said, ‘You’re going to read some things that are going to make you question what happened with your character. We’re calling to tell you don’t worry,’ ” Kim says.
Going with the flow is something Kim and his fellow Lost stars have come to accept since the production started filming in Hawaii in 2004. Currently in its fifth season, the show will go one more year before concluding in 2010. In the meantime fans can’t wait to see what happens next on Lost – and neither can Kim.
“I get very broad strokes about the show and the future of my character,” Kim says. “I kind of like not knowing everything because then when people ask me I can tell them honestly I don’t know instead of being pressed for answers.”

17. YUNJIN KIM AND DANIEL DAE KIM
Once upon a time in the land of Lost, a boy named Jin married a girl named Sun. Alas, they did not live happily ever after: Jin grew distant; Sun became alienated. Then they boarded Oceanic 815, and that didn’t go so well either. The couple’s tenuous relationship played out for years as a nuanced romantic subplot that always felt a tad removed from the other stories on the island. Until season 4, when Lost supercharged the saga of Jin (Daniel Dae Kim) and Sun (Yunjin Kim) so that the story radiated intrigue, redemption, and heartbreak, and plugged them into the greater mythology of the island. ”We have a fan base, but it tended to be fans of romance,” says Daniel. ”The big question was ‘There’s a reason Jin and Sun are here. How important are they to the overall story?’ [Now] we’ve started seeing how we tie in.”
