Lost Executive Producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse
explain how they cast Ken Leung
Damon Lindeof: Literally, the morning after his episode of The Sopranos aired, I said to Carlton, "Have you seen that episode? There's an actor on this show ... I'm not going to tell you who he is ... and I wonder if he has the same impression on you that he had on me." The next morning, Carlton came in and he had seen the episode and said, "Ken Leung?" And I said, "Bingo." The part he's playing ... it's a character we wrote very specifically for Ken. Nobody else read for it. It had to be him.

Carlton Cuse: In fact, given the construct of the character, it wouldn't have been the same if we didn't have him in the show. It is so specifically geared to what we thought he could do as an actor [that] if he had said no, we would have had to scrap the character and rewrite him and come up with a different one.
