TERRY O’QUINN “666 PARK AVENUE” & “LOST” INTERVIEW
By Abbie Bernstein
Terry O’Quinn is standing all by himself in the lobby of the Beverly Hilton Hotel. There has just been a question-and-answer panel for his new series 666 PARK AVENUE, ABC Sunday nights at 10 PM. It’s in the middle of the Television Critics Association press tour, which means that the premises are swarming with journalists, publicists and network executives, but for some reason, O’Quinn has ten minutes between appointments and doesn’t appear to be in the middle of something else.
It seems a perfect time to ask if he has a couple of moments to talk to a reporter, and he answers in the affirmative.
O’Quinn, originally from Michigan, will forever be known to many TV viewers for his six years in his Emmy-winning role as John Locke on LOST. He also has a massive array of credits on film (his title turn in 1987’s THE STEPFATHER is still one of the scariest performances you’ll ever see and he was Howard Hughes in THE ROCKETEER), television (he just completed an arc on last season’s HAWAII FIVE-0 and played significant characters on EARTH 2, MILLENNIUM, HARSH REALM, THE X-FILES, JAG, ALIAS and THE WEST WING, to name a few) and stage. In short, he’s been around the block a few times.
