Back in 2008 when the TV show Lost was the biggest show in the world, Harold Perrineau (Michael Dawson) gave an interview about how the show portrayed him and his son (Walt, played by Malcolm David Kelley) as Black characters. The backlash was swift, and Perrineau recently explained just what that felt like. Spoiler: It felt bad.
In a recent deep dive on the show in Vanity Fair — which is a great read all-around and worth checking out — Perrineau revealed how he gave the interview and how it “quoted him fairly and accurately.”
