Guy Who Says 'Previously On Heroes ' Wishes He Was Guy Who Says 'Previously On Lost'

"Don't get me wrong, there are 'Use only as directed' guys who would kill to be where I'm at, but I know I was meant for so much more," Cavanaugh said.

So true. and I work for a station that carries Heroes. Sometimes I wish I could trade.

Someone should break it to this guy that the "Previously on Lost..." guy is the boss. That's a tough job to move into

 

[Mitty]

Ooh really, so is that JJ saying that?

 

[Jack Bauer]

No, it's Lloyd Braun the guy who greenlighted the pilot for Lost (for which he got fired since it was one of the most expensive pilots ever. If fact Braun came up with the idea of doing a show about survivors of a plane crash on a island in the first place. JJ Abrams got him to do the "previously on Lost" bit because Braun got fired.

It was Lloyd Braun for a few early Season One episodes, but it's been Carlton Cuse for ages now.

I'v always hated Llyod Braun. He's always trying to one-up me.

I thought this was a joke about that Seinfeld Character, but on looking him up the Seinfeld character was named after him.
