Damon Lindelof and Justin Tera, together worked over the three seasons of the series "left", but it was not the first their opportunity to rise. As it turned out, Showranner hoped that the Tera would play Jack Shepard in "Stay alive", but this proposal was not interested.
In a recent interview with Esquire's issue, Lindelof said that the Teutre looked promisingly, and the fact that he presented not so many projects for his career was not connected with the lack of proposals.
"In his filmography there are no 25 films and television shows, but it happened not because there is no possibility. This is because he is very selective about what he wants to do. When we took the actors to "stay alive", he was definitely a favorite for the role of Jack. But he was not interested, "the producer told.
Lindelof added that after the refusal, Tera continued to follow his career and was amazed, finding that the artist became co-author of Ben Stillar in the film "Soldiers of Failure", which was awarded the nomination for Oscar. At that time, the Showranner was just engaged in the development of "left" and thought to invite Justin to the series, but doubted because he believed that he was too beautiful for the role. "But this guy is very, very, very good actor, despite his beauty," said Lindelof.
The series "Left" went on the air from 2014 to 2017, earned the title of one of the best shows of the decade and was marked by a variety of prestigious premiums. The story of Tom Perrotta, who spoke by co-author of the scenario was based on the plot.
