Simmons says ...
So, this afternoon I'm listening to my CD of the 1992 "Guys & Dolls" Broadway revival. I love that J.K. Simmons was in that show and that he sings. (But I really love Peter Gallagher's voice in that show. Swoon.)
But back on topic: Listening to the CD, I started thinking about J.K. Simmons, one of my fave actors, and how I am 99 percent sure he is the voice that says "Previously on 'Lost' ..." before every episode of my beloved ABC show.
Seriously, I'm just waiting for J.K. Simmons to show up on "Lost." There's a reason he does that voice-over. (It could be that the producers just really like his voice-over work.) Maybe he's our great and powerful Oz on "Lost." (Oh, man, I just typed that and realized a bizarro connection: Simmons starred on the HBO series "Oz." Ha! Chalk up another "Wizard of Oz"-related tie-in for "Lost.")
Anyway, I'm thinking Simmons holds the key -- or at least a character he'll play in the future will. As we "Lost" fans have learned, the producers'/creators'/writers' choices are very deliberate.
Now if we could just get to January when I can hear "Previously on 'Lost' " again ...
In the meantime, I'll be listening to "Guys & Dolls" some more.

Things with JK Simmons, no matter how awful, are instantly made somewhat better with his appearance on screen (ie, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee - dreadful screenplay, pompous production and yet somehow classier for him being in it...)
I love that recording of Guys and Dolls. Sigh. Jerry Orbach, RIP my friend, RIP.
