The CW’s ‘The 100’: Like ‘Lord of the Flies’ with a ‘love octagon,’ says showrunner

Here’s an excerpt from the article with what Ian had to say about his character Kane:

While Bellamy’s villain on the ground evolves as the series progresses, Henry Ian Cusick plays a villain on the Ark named Kane. But according to Cusick, his character isn’t purely evil. “He’s a confused misanthrope. He doesn’t like mankind and yet he’s trying to save mankind,” Cusick says. “His motives are that he wants to save humankind but the way he wants to do it is pretty draconian. He wants to kill a lot of people but he’s up against Abby [Paige Turco] and Chancellor Jaha [Isaiah Washington] who are pretty liberal. He’s not a bad guy. He’s pragmatic.”

Kane is motivated to take drastic measures to save the Ark because due to some technical glitches, the Ark thinks that all 100 teens died on Earth. “We know he’s wrong but he doesn’t, because we know the kids survived on the ground. He really believes in his cause,” Rothenberg says.

We love this article in the new issue of InsideOut Oahu.

So proud and excited for our favorite couple!

First LOST.  Then Home.

By Powell Berger

Annie and Ian Cusick never dreamed they’d call Hawaii home. But for Ian, one of the stars from the fomer TV hit “LOST,” plot twists are part of life.  “We never knew if Ian would be killed off, so we figured we’d be in Hawaii for a year, tops,” says Annie as she reflected on their life in Hawaii.  But of course, Ian wasn’t killed off. “When the show finally ended, we were rooted and our boys loved their schools and life was so beautifully simple and gorgeous, we thought why leave? Where would we go?”

Seven years after Ian’s character Desmond blew the hatch on “LOST,” the Cusicks have put down roots in Lanikai. They’ve launched Oahu-based Henry Joe Productions, created and released the HIFF award-winning short film “DRESS” (using all local talent), and enriched Honolulu’s children theatre with their talent and their dedication.  All of this while Ian commutes wherever the work takes him, which at the moment, is Vancouver, Canada, where he’s starring as Kane, the sketchy guy on the spaceship in the CW’s new drama, “The 100.”

“Ian goes to work on a spaceship now,” Annie laughs. “How fun is that!”
