Lost May Have Found Jacob In Dexter’s Mark Pellegrino

Mark Pellegrino has been cast on Lost in a big role that everyone is finally looking forward to meeting. Pellegrino will first turn up in the season finale. Michael Ausiello speculates that Pellegrino is playing Jacob in an off-island, circa-’70s flashback involving some very familiar faces.

Jacob, previously referred to as “Him”, is said to be the leader of the Others and the person from whom Ben received his instructions. Initially, Ben was the only one who knew how to reach, hear, or speak to Jacob; however, Locke has heard Jacob speak and Hurley has accidentally stumbled upon his dilapidated-looking cabin located deep in the jungle. Jacob has apparently enlisted the aid of the dead to act as his representative. Many details of Jacob’s identity, history, powers, and authority are still shrouded in mystery.
