Armchair Casting Director: 'Lost'

Team Darlton is on the prowl for a female actress in her mid-30s to play…

Kendall: Described as an “intellectual beauty with a sharp edge to her wit,” she is caught committing corporate espionage and has to lie her way out. Recurring potential.

Got casting suggestions? Thoughts on who Kendall really is? Head to the comments!

    hmmmm? Could she be part of Widmore’s company?

  • CH

    She’s either in Widmore’s company or they’re ending LOST by bringing back Sydney Bristow…

  • Dave

    Kristen Bell.

    End of story.

    • BW

      Mid -30s, not mid-20s. Kirsten Bell is great, but way too young. Same with Alicia Witt.

      • Laura

        Alicia Witt is about 33-34. That would be the right age. And I agree that while Kristen Bell does rule all things, she’s too young if they want to stick with mid-30s.

      • Heidi

        Alicia is close to my age if I remember correctly. She’s mid thirties and doesn’t look too young…Kristen Bell does look like a student.

        For those who don’t remember Alicia she is pale with long red hair(natural), she’s a mensa member who’s kind of a serious person, and then she’s always presented as mature… Could Kendall be the one in charge of the children?

        kristen bell was originally offered the role of charlotte, before she signed on to ‘heroes.’ alicia witt is the little kid narrator from ‘dune’ (she’s been consistantly miscast since then) and definitely fits ‘lost’ more then bell.

      • Heidi

        Alicia also recently played a very convincing blind woman in The Mentalist – I think it was a two part special and she was really good.

    • ktwolf

      LOVE Kristen Bell! She might be a bit too young, though. She’s not even 30 yet.

  • Amanda

    How about Nora Zehetner?

  • Andrea

    how about Renée O’Connor?

  • Heidi

    Alicia Witt?

  • Willo

    Laura Harris?
    Janel Moloney?

    • joe

      ohhh… i like Janel Moloney!!! good suggestion!

    • hoganbcmj

      Jenna Maroney!? She could sing Muffin Top on Lost.

  • becky

    Vanessa Marcil

    • Lucy

      no offense, but yuck!

    • Jess

      that could work.

      • Heidi

        She’s gorgeous but doesn’t play subtle or sneaky or unassuming very well. It would’nt be the right part for her. Someone more nuanced is likely going to be more effective in the role.

  • Joanna

    Jamie Ray Newman….. because we all know Eastwick is gonna get the can!

  • Laura

    Amy Acker? Caroline Dhavernas (aka Jaye from Wonderfalls)?

    • Grace

      second amy acker.

      • pop

        ugh am i the only one who cannot stand her?

    • Jessica

      Amy Acker would be great, but I think Caroline is too young, not quite mid thirties.

  • BlatantURLPimpingMustDie

    Jason Dohring (first!)

  • Pete

    Christina Hendricks if she is available.

  • K

    Charisma Carpenter

    • bek

      Haha you beat me to it, I was gonna say Charisma Carpenter. She played Kendall on Veronica Mars, she can totally work the name. ;)

      • Jayme

        Totally where my mind went as well.

  • kristina

    me in ten years? perfect casting choice.

  • Alex

    Kristen Bell! She messed up by choosing Heroes over Lost, so redemption is in order here.

  • VJW

    Me! Me! Pick me!

  • Rachel

    Sounds perfect for Charisma Carpenter.

  • Alex

    Katee Sackhoff from Battlestar Galactica. Too bad she is doing “24″

    • john

      I don’t know if I’d describe her as particularly intellectual looking or witty but it would be interesting to see her try.
      I’d go with that actress who played cameron on house, can’t think of her name at the moment…

  • M

    Carrie-Anne Moss

  • Frank Anderson

    Did you know that the CW is owned by Warner, just like EW…

    Oh, this post is actually NOT about 90210, Gossip Girl or Melrose Place… SHOCKER!

  • C

    Gina Torres

  • ben dover

    Molly Parker – you have to have been on Deadwood to guest on Lost

    • randyfitzimmons

      Molly Parker is PERFECT

    • Meagan

      I was just going to post the same thing!

      • Trubie

        Molly Parker. Yes.

      • Heidi

        I like Molly too. I still think Alicia Witt could be a strong contender but Molly (also a redhead) could be very convincing in the role.

  • Jeff

    Keri Russell (Felicity). Would be AWESOME to see her back on tv!

  • Dude

    Sarah Silverman!

  • Meg

    Lizzy Caplan.

    • LadySolitaire

      I agree. She’d be great in this role.

  • Glar

    Rosie O’Donnell!

  • Dude

    Sarah Silverman

  • Jake

    Jennifer Garner!
    A guy can only wish…

  • Eamonn

    Perhaps this character is really that of Rachel Blake, who during one of the Lost ARG’s, was spying and sneaking into the Hanso Foundation’s offices, collecting information…if I recall correctly.

  • brynna

    Jennifer Esposito…

    • Heidi

      She’s similar to Vanessa Marcil – gorgeous but obvious. Doesn’t do subtle well. They’re looking for someone who hides secrets well and can be convincing. So I thik Jen Esposito wouldn’t work here.
