Desmond from LOST with the series countdown

Below is the webcast of Marty Riemers and Jody Brothers interviewing Ian over the phone…

they had recorded it earlier in the day, so it’s not happening live during the webcast, either…

All in all not as exciting as if Ian had been in the studio but still cool!

Brutha compilation starts at minute 5:15, interview starts at minute 7:30

Keck’s Exclusives: Law & Order: SVU Signs Lost Alum

Lost alum Henry Ian Cusick, who played the time-traveling Desmond Hume on the ABC series, is leaping to NBC. He has signed on for at least two fall episodes of Law & Order: SVU, playing a graphic artist named Erik Weber.

SVU executive producer Neal Baer, a fan of Lost, tells me he cast Ian because he is “a sharp, smart leader and very charismatic.”

Could Ian finally help Detective Benson (Mariska Hargitay) get over her long romantic dry spell? (Her last lover was Kurt Moss, played by Bill Pullman, way back in 2008!) “There might be some flirtation,” Baer says. “Erik meets Olivia when he comes to someone’s aid. And then we’ll see how it goes. Olivia is devoted to her job and knows that comes first.”

While this comes as good news to us, somewhere out there Penny Widmore is sobbing. SVU is also looking for a big-name female to replace the departing Sharon Stone. Maybe Sonya Walger (Penny) could play that role?!

Ian is “a sharp, smart leader and very charismatic.” *nods* Yes, we certainly think so, Mr. Baer!

Congratulations, Ian, from all the sistahs here at Cusick Gallery. Looking forward to seeing you this fall!
