Harold Perrineau (Michael on Lost) was interview by TV Guide. He seems kinda disgruntled about having been back for only half a season. Among the bitter pills was this gem:
TV Guide: Were you disappointed Michael and Walt didn't reconnect before your character died?
Perrineau: Listen, if I'm being really candid, there are all these questions about how they respond to black people on the show. Sayid gets to meet Nadia again, and Desmond and Penny hook up again, but a little black boy and his father hooking up, that wasn't interesting? Instead, Walt just winds up being another fatherless child. It plays into a really big, weird stereotype and, being a black person myself, that wasn't so interesting. [Responds Cuse: "We pride ourselves on having a very racially diverse cast. It's painful when any actor's storyline ends on the show. Harold is a fantastic actor whose presence added enormously to Lost."]- Full Interview here:

- Complaing about it publicly is the right thing. If he had complained on the show he'd have been disruptive.Redmond
