Another "Lost" actor found!

Man, new people are popping up on that island all the time, aren't they?

You probably already know Michelle Rodriguez ("The Fast and The Furious," "Resident Evil") has joined the cast of "Lost." There had been rumors that Samuel L. Jackson had signed on as well, but as we know now, that was a red herring.

However, maybe the person who started that rumor got Jackson confused with another black man, because this morning, an ABC flak announced that Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is joining the cast as a man named Emeka.

And you're thinking, "Who? Ade-whah?" We know. Most of the people in the room had the same reaction.

However, you should recognize Mr. Akinnuoye-Agbaje immediately if you have seen the HBO series "Oz," in which he played the formidable Simon Adebisi. This development also reteams Akinnuoye-Agbaje with former "Oz" castmate Harold Perrineau -- or I should say, it will if Perrineau's character Michael is a good swimmer.

The only thing ABC's material says about Emeka is that he is "a mysterious man whose presence on the island -- and intentions -- will be revealed in one of the early episodes in the upcoming second season."

Here's hoping Emeka is a whiz with numbers.
