As you'll read in a minute, Composer Micheal Giacchino recently conducted his LOST score live for a packed house at Royce hall in UCLA. Here is the rehearsal for that night. Perhaps you'd like to click here and listen to the music as you peruse this post.

This picture was taken on the very first day I filmed in March of 05!

Although I was usually filthy...

... the show had some perks, like working with some of the best actors on television, like Jorge, Micheal Emerson Terry O'Quinn and Evangeline Lilly.

Recently, as the series has been winding down, there has been a plethora of oppurtunities to share in, like last weeks edition of Entertainment Weekly magazine.

On this past Thursday I was invited to join a group of series regulars and a handful of guest stars to take part in the LOST FINALE event at UCLA.
What a great night. The family came along.

We got to see my old FUGITIVE friend, Scotty Caldwell.

Make up man, Steve LaPorte.

And our old pal Benny was even there in spirit!

It was a bittersweet moment for our family, as Kelly reminded us all how much fun we had with Ben in Hawaii!

The evening continued with producers introducing us to the packed theatre and then compser Michael Giacchino conducted his haunting LOST original music. Here he is at the after party.

Closed out the week with the signing of 750 cards for the newest RITTENHOUSE set of LOST trading Cards.

BTW, here is Buster and I the last time I signed some cards.
(http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd54/gracebuster/November%2009/lost12.jpg)
In the 750 cards I couldn't resist the chance to, once again, create a CHASE set. I inserted 10 cards that contained quotes of Dr. Arzt dialogue.

It was some fun time on the show, boy. I am sitting here listening to Giachinno's music and getting a little choked up.
Thank you for all of your support of the show. Here is to hoping that it goes out, NOT with a Whimper, but a great BIG BANG!

Looks like you had a blast getting lost :)
Great bunch of pictures, Dan! One of the most memorable death scenes, ever!
Dan,
I always enjoy your posts, especially the ones where you take the time to put together photos with captions. Plain fun! Just wanted to let you know it is appreciated at this end and hopefully you continue these type of installments at UMA.
Dan,
Thanks for taking the time to show us "mere mortals" a glimpse of your industry!
Just great!

Ditto. Very, very cool stuff. Thanks, Dan, for sharing with us.
Great stuff Dan! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Thank you, this is so beautiful. Our family has a special place in our hearts for Mr. Giacchino. We listen to his Disney soundtracks on a daily basis and we cheered like maniacs during the Oscars. :) I will now have to check Itunes for the Lost music. Yay! I also appreciate all the inside photos and memories you've shared, Mr. Gracebuster. This is wonderful!
THAT WAS AWESOME! lol. Nothing like looking at pictures with meaningful orchestra music playing in the background. Makes them more meaningful somehow. Great pics too of you and Ben.

Hey Danny--thanks for sharing your evening and recaps. Made me kinda misty a week early!
Love the morgue shot!
Had thought about attending the concert/ finale but the date snuck up on me.
Was thinking that we'll all miss the good Doctor Arzt, but he will live on in DVD forever!!!!!!!!!!!

Can there be a forum anywhere with a more impressive collection of members??!!
What an awesome show to work on!

NOPE!
Thanks for sharing Dan. Great stuff.
Dan all the continued success you most definitely deserve.. You love what you do and that will always be your strength!!!! Thanks for sharing more of your craft, private life and family!!

Thanks for sharing, Dan. It must be great to have been a part of such a fantastic show.
Thanks for the pictures & captions, Dan. Because the show was so convoluted, we didn't watch the last couple of seasons. And while your "death scene" came rather early in the show, it even made an impact on my wife Debbie. You might say that in your death you "busted with grace".
May you always have great success as a wonderful actor and as they say in the theater "break a leg".
Your friend,
Don "Uncula" Stout II
Awesome pictures, Danny. I already have them up on Ebay. No, just kidding. They sold through BUY IT NOW. No, kidding again.
You have certainly been blessed, my friend. Congratulations.
Hey Gracie!
You're just a Hunka Hunka Burnin' Love!
Sad to see the show go, but what an experience that must have been!! Thanks so much for sharing your adventures and family with us at the UMA Dan!! Nancy and Jordan and I look forward to every thread and post...........and of course, as always, we'll be looking for you wherever you turn up next (which we did even before joining the UMA).
Awesome stuff Danny.your a very good actor and I wish you nothing but success in the future.Its so very nice that a guy with your talent can still be so humble and down to earth and just be one of us here at UMA.Thanks for shareing your life with us. ;D
You are all too kind. The simple fact is that I feel blessed to have the kind of friends here (cyber and otherwise) who have interest in this part of my life.
I'm glad you all enjoyed it.
Blessings for your future career!
Awesome photos Dan! I'm sad and yet excited that Lost ends tonight. I have a box of those trading cards on order. I hope I pull one of your autographs with the dialogue on it.
A friend of mine has a subscription to Entertainment Weekly and she always lets me read 'em. I opened up that Lost issue and there you were, and then there you were again on another page.And now here you are again.You're
all over the place.
Looks like it was a blast! Thanks for posting the pics, very cool.
Speaking of Dan being everywhere, just caught his turn in Bubba Ho-Tep. Classic!!
Did anyone catch the two hr recap before the finale? There were fan notes of farewell as interstituals and near the back end, was one reference to Arzt from Shane, I think....Isn't there a Shane on board here? Kudos to him for getting Dan into the notes as well!
Stearing away from any conversations about the Finale, I did think they all dead about a season or two ago...Loved it though.
OG
Danny, a noble ending to an interesting show.
Now continue the good work we've come to expect from you.
What's new with Dr. Shocker?
Hey Dan, I just pulled one of your autographed cards from a pack of LOST Archives trading cards. It didn't have the dialogue on it, but it's still really cool. 8) Thanks for signing the cards.
