"Lost" Newest Castaway - Rodrigo Santoro

Yep - the "hot guy" from "Charlie's Angel: Full Throttle" and "Love, Actually" is joining the cast of "Lost" starting this Wednesday, October 18th!

He'll play Paulo, one of the 48 survivors of the fuselage section of Oceanic Flight 815. His character has been "in the background" throughout the series so far - but that is about to change.


Word is - he will be introduced when his character is busted by Claire trying to move into Jack recently vacated dwelling. It seems he will be trying to set up camp there and will in the process of seducing another new castaway - Kiele Sanchez as Nikki.

Lucky Girl!

I'm so glad that the other 48 survivors living on the island are starting to come into the limelight. It will be very interesting to see how they fit into the mythology of the show.

And if they keep casting them with hot actors like Santoro - I say bring it on!

So keep an eye out for him Wednesday and check back here for a full recap of "Further Instructions" and the debut of both of these new survivors.

Until then - enjoy this preview of the eye candy to come.....

The hot factor on "Lost" has definitely been kicked up a notch, don't ya think?
