‘Lost’ actor says he was killed off for racial reasons
In the days since the “Lost” season finale aired, theories about time travel, John Locke’s death and the Oceanic Six have been bandied about, but theories about racially motivated character offing? Not so much — until now.
Harold Perrineau, who played Michael up until the character was exploded off the freighter in the finale, tells TV Guide that he can’t help but draw the conclusion that race was a factor.
No mention about him originally leaving the show as he thought he was bigger than it. No word on the dozens of honkeys that died on the boat along with his character. Also, no mention about how not a single dead person has actually stayed dead or at least, not appeared again.
