Evangeline Lilly (2014)

Hello Evangeline! Big fan.

What was your most memorable moment on the set of Lost, and why? Also, which actor is most like their character?

How do you feel about the creation of Tauriel? Tolkien had zero female characters in the novel so this role must have been pretty special for you.

On a side note, just how cool was learning elvish??

What's the most annoying thing fans do when they meet you?

How much were you directed in a regular episode of Lost by an appointed director, how much by the executive producers (did any of them treated actors especially?) and how much did you just use your already stored experienece from previous episodes?

Hi Evangeline! I was wondering what you do to keep in such great shape?

Hi Evangeline,

Really enjoyed hearing you on the Nerdist SDCC panel, but my question is: just how drunk did you and Michael Rooker get?!

Evangeline! Would you rather fight one polar bear sized hobbit, or one hundred hobbit sized polar bears?

Hey Evangeline,

Have you ever had any strange fan encounters?

What's your favorite book?

Hi Evangeline! We365/Free The Children here. We're so inspired by your passion for the environment! Can you tell us what got you inspired and what young people can do to help you change the world?

Hey evangeline, I just joined reddit 2 seconds ago to join this AMA! Will u be coming to ireland on your book tour? Love to get my book signed in person. ✌️✌️ Also, I know you're probably fed up of this, but I LOVE you in lost it's such an amazing show, poignant but also exciting.

If you could work with any filmmaker, living or dead, who would it be?

Hi Evangeline!! On Jimmy Kimmel you brought up how after high school, you decided to move from town to town approximately every six months and take on a different persona. What type of personas did you master during these glory years and why did you take on the “girl who poops herself at every party” persona in good ol’ Kamloops?

What's your favorite food?

What show are you currently binge watching?

Hi Evangeline. Excited to hopefully see you in London!
What is the best advice someone has given you?

If you could have played any other character on lost, including male characters, who would you have wanted to play?

Evangeline. Miss, Mrs Lilly. How did you feel filling the shoes of an original character not seen in The Hobbit books? Personally I'd have liked to see your character fleshed out a little more and really enjoyed the dynamic between two different Elven races, that almost magnanimous vibe you got from all your confrontations with other Elves.. Also, what was the reaction like from fans?

Loved Lost, it really brought me and the mum together - It was our first series we watched together and really brought us close, and Freckles was one of the best parts. Thanks!

Hello Evangeline, I just wanted to say that you're a wonderful actress who inspires me greatly. Also, I only recently started watching 'Lost', I love it!! :) My question is; where did you get your inspiration to write 'The Squickerwonkers' ? Thanks. :)

EVANGELINE!!!! SUCH A HUGE FAN!!!! There was a rumor that you nearly got Harold Perrineau fired from Lost because he was farting during one of the wreckage scenes early on in the series. Is there any validity to this at all?????

What do you usually do on your free time?

Hey Ms. Lilly!

I sadly won’t be able to make it to the Toronto meet up tonight but I wanted to ask, what’s a random hobby of yours that nobody would every expect?

Have fun at the signing and congratulations on your book!

Hi Evangeline! I'm a huge fan of your most "controversial" characters (Kate and Tauriel). What's it like to see fans so divided over your roles?

P.S. I've seen you defend Tauriel quite often in Hobbit interviews and I'm so glad you're sticking up for her - we need more kickass women who stand up for themselves, both in Hollywood and in Middle-earth!

Do we have to go back?

I want to become a TV writer. TV and books are very different, but what advice can you give me to succeed? Thank you. I am a big fan of yours!

What's your short for Evangeline?

What was the most exciting thing on the set of Lost when cameras were not rolling?

What did you take home from the LOST set?

Evangeline, what do you like on your pizza? Keep in mind that I will be getting drunk this weekend and I will be getting pizza.

Evangeline ,

I think it is awesome you are writing children’s books now. How hard was it to get it published? Do you think your child will enjoy the series as he grows up?

How would you survive a zombie apocalypse?

Have you stayed close friends with any of the cast members from Lost?

Hello Ms. Lilly! First of all, I admire and respect you so much. You are a real life hero to me-you have been an inspiration for me for many years, and I've learned so much by watching your work, both on camera and off, and I just want to thank you for that. So thank you! Even if you don't know it, you have been a large influence on my life and have taught me some valuable life lessons. Also, The Squickerwonkers is amazing and I love it so much. I can't wait to buy copies for all my friends and family. Congratulations!
I'm going to cheat a little on my question here and ask, what's something you don't get asked about enough that you'd like the chance to say a sentence or two about? Something important to you that your fans don't typically inquire about?
(P.S. I recently sent a message to your page and it would mean the world to me if you got the chance to read it...what are the chances you'd have a moment to do so? I know you're crazy busy, so maybe in a couple weeks! I know someone else bribed you with money to read their message, but since I am poor and have already donated as much as I can, I will send you a virtual hug in thanks! ;) Thank you and travel safe!)

Do you have any special Thanksgiving traditions?

Hi, Evangeline. Have you considered starring in another TV series? If so is there a specific genre you're interested in or genre doesn't matter to you?

Congrats on the book! If you had the opportunity to switch roles with any actor/actress you've worked with (and what movie/roles), who would you want to play and why?

If you had to defeat a man with just one hit,what would you do???

Hey Evangeline! Big fan. Would love to know if you have anything planned Marvel-wise beyond Ant-Man? Thanks!

What is one thing I shouldn't ask you?

Hi Evangeline! I've been a huge fan since LOST.

Are you still an Eisley fan? How about any other female-fronted bands?

How often do people tell you that you have to go back?
How many have beards?

What is it like working with lee pace?

Regarding The Hobbit, what was your most challenging scene to film? And why? Did you love being Tauriel? If you can't say anything about #BOFA, maybe you can comment about The Desolation of Smaug :)
