PHOTOS Little Walt from Lost all grown up at Paley Center 10-year anniversary event
Can you believe it’s been almost ten years since Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 crashed on a mysterious island kicking off six seasons of Lost — and six seasons of mind-twisting obsessing and theorizing by millions? The Paley Center paid tribute to the ten-year anniversary of the show’s inception by hosting a panel discussion Sunday night that included executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, as well as actors Josh Holloway, Jorge Garcia, Yunjin Kim, Ian Somerhalder, Maggie Grace, Henry Ian Cusick, and Malcolm David Kelley (above).
If the handsome Malcolm David Kelley doesn’t look familiar to you, it’s probably because he was only 11 when he first appeared on our televisions as little Walter “Walt” Lloyd, son of character Michael Dawson. As you probably guessed by doing the math, the actor (and musician — more on that in a minute) is now 21 — and looking great! Here are some side-by-side photos of young Malcolm as Walt on Lost and 21-year-old Malcolm from Sunday night’s event:
In case you were wondering what Malcolm’s been up to since he appeared on Lost, he’s gotten a few more acting gigs on shows like My Name Is Earl, Saving Grace, and The Closer, but his recent focus has been as half of the musical duo MKTO with his former Gigantic co-star Tony Oller. MKTO’s self-titled debut album was released on January 31, 2014 and contains the singles “Thank You” and “Classic,” the latter of which was nominated this year for Catchiest New Song by the Radio Disney Music Awards.
Give it a listen!
Getting back to the Paley Center’s Lostapalooza… I assume the canine actor who played Vincent is no longer with us? That was 70 years ago in dog years! 🙁
And what about the show’s true break-out star, Hurley’s Darma bus?!?
The cast sooooooooo shoulda shown up together at the Paley Center event riding in the Darma bus. ***SIGH***
But, speaking of the cast, here’s a video of the complete panel discussion followed by the cast and crew having fun together in some candids from the event shared on Twitter:
