Yep. And Maggie Grace was let go because she had a fear of enclosed
spaces.

Lost star Harold Perrineau shocked producers of the show when he
revealed that he couldn't swim.

I bet he can't sing or drive a boat either.

Or design a building.
They should really check resumes before they cast these people...

The actor, who plays Michael Dawson, was instructed to take a crash
course before filming for the second season began.

"They like to hold part of the finale as a secret and last year the
secret was that our boat was gonna blow up and they were gonna take the
kid and they would throw us in the water - but we didn't find out until
that day," Perrineau told WENN.

"I was like, 'Hey, I can't swim!' Suddenly you see the producers all
freak out. They called me back and said, 'Before the second season,
maybe you should learn how to swim because you start in the water.'"
