Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, who starred in the hit 2000s sci-fi series Lost, has thanked Netflix for making the mystery series popular again, 20 years after the first episode aired. Akinnuoye-Agbaje first appeared as a character in Lost season 2, portraying Mr. Eko, a survivor of Flight 815 who was in the tail section at the time of the crash. He ended up playing one of many popular characters in the now-classic series, many of whom are still staples in pop culture. A resurgence of interest recently helped, with the show having made its way to Netflix in July.
