Lost executive producer Carlton Cuse revealed on Twitter that William Atherton had signed on for a guest spot in the sixth and final season of the show. Nothing was revealed about the role. Atherton’s best known as the antagonists in several classic ’80s films, like Ghostbusters, Real Genius and Die Hard. He most recently had a major recurring role on the show Life. The Lost production is currently filming the sixth episode of the season, so expect his role to pop up in the seventh at the earliest. I really enjoyed his stint on Life, and it goes without saying his roles in all the classics, so hopefully this will prove great as well.
Lost will return for its final season in January.
