» ARCHIVES Lost Cast Interviews    |     06 September 2005 Dominic Monaghan is best known for his turn as Merry in the Lord of the Rings, but he's hoping that the success of Lost will earn him a reputation just as a versatile and celebrated actor in his own right. As the washed-up former brit-pop singer Charlie, Monaghan lends the show a much-needed dose of humor, and offers the actor a chance to play an entirely different type of role than in movies past. IGN: On the DVD, it appears that almost every prospective male cast member auditioned for the role of Sawyer. Would that have changed your participation had you gotten that role instead of Charlie? Monaghan: I would have just done a much better performance than Josh Holloway. No, I'm only joking. You know, I didn't really audition for Sawyer. What happened was there wasn't really a part for me so I went in with these pages that were just for someone generic and it happened to be Sawyer but I was never going to read for Sawyer. The guys said, 'no, you can't be Sawyer. Sawyer's a completely different guy, he's kind of a cowboy, he's kind of a Southern guy, it's not working for you.' So that's kind of a myth that I read for Sawyer. IGN:Do you get recognized more now for Lost or Lord of the Rings? Monaghan: You know, I kind of get Dominic a little bit now. Less Merry, less Charlie. 'Oh, hey, there's Dominic', which is cool. It's good. I can go about my day with my hat pulled down and not really get recognized and then other days I get recognized all the time. The show's a beast. It's kind of everywhere.
