Who Jacob is?

[jaredpresley]

I Was anyone credited as Jacob in the cast credits? If anyone can determine who plays him, we'll know somewhat what he looks like. I believe Jacob to be a old pirate or something, from the ship they found. The first person to interact with the island.
Him and some pirate, or whatever survivors were the inhabitants. They were there before the Dharma Initiative was. Years later, The inhabitants didn't like it and took over.

on imdb.com no one is credited for tonight's episode as playing "Jacob"

[Blind Guardian]

http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/The_Man_Behind_the_Curtain lists Jacob as being played by an unknown actor.

Erm, sorry maybe its just me, but did no-one else consider that the reason no-one has been credited as playing Jacob is precisely beacuse they knew people like us would try and investigate to gather more info as to who Jacob is, what he looks like, etc.

They're one step ahead of us all the time....remember that!!

Looked like Kris Kristofferson to me. But I'm just swinging in the wind. The nose is kinda wrong.

Sounded like Ron Perlman to me.
