Matt Moore: can someone verify?

[igator210]

According to IMDB.com and TV.com,


Matt Moore is listed as playing Travis in "Collision" and Husband in "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues". Can any one verify this?

I'm bumping this considering:

A.) Nobody else replied to igator's request
B.) Nor found the revelation all that intriguing.

According to IMDB.com and TV.com,


Matt Moore is listed as playing Travis in "Collision" and Husband in "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues". Can any one verify this?
There's a thread (http://www.thefuselage.com/Threaded/showthread.php?p=627734&highlight=Matt+Moore#post627734) on another board *cough*..Fuselage *cough* that examines it and includes links to picture at lost-media.com for comparision.

For those who don't know, Travis is the punk holding the TV that Ana draws her gun on during the domestic call with partner Big Mike.
"Husband" is the well dressed, clean cut guy whose pregnant wife died on Christian Shephard's operating table. It's undetermined if Moore is playing the same character.

The actress portraying "Husband"'s wife in ATBCHDI is not credited, so it's not known if it's also the same actress who plays Travis' wife/girlfriend Shawna (Jeanna Garcia) in "Collision" it's also undetermined if she's playing a repeat character.

Maybe, in a future episode, there'll be a connection. Perhaps he's Randy's brother.. ;)
Hmmm.. Randy, Travis.. Randy Travis (http://www.randy-travis.com/)?

That's an interesting link Ida Monster. I read a couple of pages, didn't know the membership at the Fuselage is as crazy as we are at Lost-TV.

It doesn't look like the same guy, but according to TV.com, they're the same. A better question, are the two women the same? The screaming woman with the baby from Collision, and the woman who died from something Christian Shepard did while drunk in ATBCHDI. But I can't tell with her eyes tapped shut, and that thingy down her throat. That would be the obvious link. Then I'd say the actor is playing the same character. What do you think?

Same here.. I can't really tell if it's her or not with all the tape, etc. although the nose does look similar.

If it is the same guy then I'll only assume that his grief from the death of his first wife and baby changed his appearance and demeanor drastically.
Perhaps he got caught up in drug use, lost his job and hooked up with Shawna.

Thanks for sort of verifiying this.

So far we have two flashback background actors being credited for both seasons. Matt Moore being one and Michael Adamshick being the other. (Brittany Perrineau is a third but being married to Harold explains that)


With Michael, he has played the lotto offical and a doctor. I think they grabbed him to play a doctor and grew him into the lotto offical, so everytime Hurley has a flashback there is a chance of him showing up.

But Matt so far is only a background character and it's a little weird to have him in two different seasons. I could understand if he was shooting another series in Hawaii, but according to IMDB.com, he isn't.

Igator, you know I like the way your mind works. What you got cooking up there?

[igator210]

Not really cooking anything, it just suprised me to have such a background actor be in two different seasons. It could be nothing - he could be a friend of the producers and they gave him a couple of parts. It's just something I noticed.

To contrast this with the two Randy - he was given the same name, he is the same actor and the same personality in both Locke's and Hurley's flashback. This gives a little bit more weight that these two Randys are the same character.

I was just looking around for information on the background actors and came across this interesting post on another forum.

I also live on Oahu, where all the cast lives. Most of them live in a town called Kailua. I've only ran into Locke at Costco and Yunjin Kim. My wife ran into Locke and Sawyer at the grociery store on the North Shore. I also have a friend who's been on the show once in a flashback scene as a grieving husband in season 1 and they called him back to be in a flashback scene with Michelle Rodriguez. All he told me is he's seeking revenge on her. And than I met Matt and Dom on at the velvet ropes at the Season premier on the beach. Tough life here in Hawaii, but someone has to live it.

[clayseason1]

Well, I thought it was confirmation that he was playing the same guy in both episodes.
chronologically, the first FB would be Ana Lucia's when he (the husband) is taking the tv and Ana and her partner respond to the domestic disturbance incident.
The second FB (time-wise) would be Jack's story line when we see Christian Sheppard talking to the him (the grieving husband) and patting him on the shoulder.

So, I would theorize that Matt and his wife (young newlyweds) have a domestic dispute, Ana as an officer responds and over reacts and pulls a gun on him. We know that Ana is recovering from an earlier episode in which she was shot on duty and as a result lost her unborn child. Then the guy that shot Ana is found but Ana doesn't identify him. Rather she stakes him out and when the time is right, she shoots him; presumably kills him. (End of what we know about Ana). Then later, Matt and/or his pregnant wife is involved in an accident and she dies on Christian Sheppard's operating table.

Now the seeking revenge part against Ana - perhaps....
1. Ana was driving the car that caused the accident - ultimately resulting in his wife's death, or
2. The guy that Ana killed in revenge was somehow related to Matt.

(I think Ana's patrol area was a Latino neighborhood. Matt may have been involved in a Latino gang, or deeply involved in the community and it's politics or it could simply be that Matt was related to the man Ana killed. However, since Ana's mother was the captain in charge of that precinct, there may be a "Latino" angle to it that we are as yet, unfamiliar with.)

I would think Jack/Christian would be the first flashback. I get the impression Ana-Lucia's incident wasn't that long before arriving on the island. JMO!

[clayseason1]

Well Hodge, that's the impression I got after realizing Matt was the same person and I "ordered" the events. It makes sense to me, but now that you question it, I am not certain. Jack did not know until later that the woman Christian operated on was pregnant, therefore she could not have been that far along. Ergo, both Jack and Ana Lucia's flashbacks could depict a somewhat concurrent time frame. Perhaps, Ana - after walking away from shooting the man - gets in her car and speeds away, causing the accident which landed the woman on Christian's table.
We need another Ana flashback to be more certain.
