Hey, it's funny you said that about Charlie because I read the same exact thing about Sun! She is an action hero in Korean movies and she originally tried out for Kate. The producers felt she wasn't right for Kate but they loved her so they created Sun for her. I bet the guy who plays Jin is grateful for that!
How HILARIOUS was it when Jin, Charlie, Desmond are going camping and Jin is telling a Korean ghost story in KOREAN with a flashlight under his chin and Hurley freaks out at the punchline. I nearly busted mah gut laughing at that. Clever. And totally believable of Hurley. That scene of Hurley and the scene where Hurley and Charlie are standing at the golf hole trying to make Jack screw up his shot might just be my favorite moments of the whole show so far.
I have a big smile right now just thinking about it!
But I digress...
Actually, about Charlie, I read that the character was supposed to be an aging has-been rockstar. Like in his 40s and well after he and his band hit it big. But they liked Dominic Monagan so much they made their Charlie younger. They made a good choice, I think.
