Daniel Dae Kim Latest ‘Lost’ DUI Casualty

Call it a curse, call it a lack of fulfilling leisure activities in Hawaii, call it the stress of never getting to speak any of your lines in English – the cast of Lost has claimed yet another DUI:

Daniel Dae Kim, who stars as Jin-Soo Kwon on ABC’s hit TV series “Lost,” was arrested early this morning on suspicion of drunken driving.

Former cast members Michelle Rodriguez and Cynthia Watros were arrested on suspicion of drunken driving on Dec. 1, 2005 when police spotted their vehicles weaving along Pali Highway.

On Sept. 2, 2006, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (”Mr. Eko”) was arrested and accused of disobeying a police officer and driving without a license.

The charges were later dropped when Akinnuoye-Agbaje provided proof that he possessed a license. His character was killed off by a smoke monster in the first half of that season.

Of course, similar fates also befell Rodriguez and Watros, as while the Lost island may contain a great many uncertainties, the loud ticking of the DUI Death Clock is not among them. We’d caution Jin-Soo to keep one eye out for any long-overdue reappearances by rabid polar bears in the coming Season 4.
