Malcolm David Kelley on 'Gigantic' role, the 'Lost' finale

malcolm-david-kelley-gigantic.jpgMalcolm David Kelley, best known for playing the precocious Walt on "Lost," is back on the small screen in TeenNick's "Gigantic," a show about teenagers growing up in Hollywood. Kelley tells us about his character of Finn Katins, the son of two Hollywood actors.

"He's a fun guy, young, energetic. He's the comedy of the show a little bit," says Kelley. "His dad is an actor, his stepmom is an actor. He definitely lives that Hollywood life, nice cars and nice clothes."

But despite growing up in the fast Hollywood lifestyle, Finn is not so comfortable with the ladies.

"Finn gets a little slow start when it comes to the women," Kelley laughs. "He's just getting started in on that whole women stage, learning how to talk to 'em and learning what's right and what's not right. He hasn't quite figured it out yet."

As a kid who grew up around the Hollywood lifestyle, Kelley does think that "Gigantic" is an accurate portrayal.

"Most times it's pretty accurate. I want to say like a young 'Entourage' or 'Degrassi' in Hollywood," says Kelley. "We sit down with the writers and build the whole background on our characters to keep it as real as possible."

Despite "Gigantic" being Kelley's big, new project, we couldn't help but ask about the ending of "Lost."

"I definitely wish they'd had more time for more episodes, to answer more questions," Kelley says. "I'm sad the way it ended, I wish I was on that last season a little bit more ... I'm still kind of upset we never really got to expand on Walt's powers."

"Gigantic" premieres on TeenNick Friday (Oct. 8) at 10 p.m. ET. You can watch an exclusive sneak peek here.

You and me both Walt.

I agree, they took the easy way out!! The last 2 seasons sucked big time!!!

LOST couldn't take the time to properly finish Walt's story because they had to focus on the oh so fascinating Juliet/Jack/Kate/Sawyer storyline. Do I sound bitter? I should, because I am.

I keep waiting for the anger and bitterness over LOST to end. However I have to accept that it never will.

Any yet, somehow life continues...

the Lost writers were making it up as they went along. they NEVER had an overal story arch. all they had was the first shot of the first show and the last shot of the last show in their minds. these weren't even clever. Jack opens his eyes... 5 years laters... Jack closes his eyes. boring. everything in the middle was just feint after feint. the viewers were promised a fulfilling conclusion. the viewers were lied to. the writers never understood that the viewers cared about STORY. they thought it was all about EMOTION. well, it wasn't. it was a crap ending. Lost and BSG betrayed their viewers with crap final seasons and crap finales.

blech.

...and they also succumbed to the "chickification" of TV in general by focusing on that stupid love triangle.quadrangle that nobody cared about. there are 100 other shows on TV focusing on romance to get the housewife demographic. why can't TV produce something intellectually stimulating for everyone else? Rod Serling is rolling over in his grave.
