Michael Dawson, played by Harold Perrineau, Jr.
Michael Dawson is a former construction worker, with an eye for art. He was on Flight 815 to bring his son, Walt, home. Walt's mother, Michael's ex-girlfriend, convinced Michael that Walt was better off without him, even though Michael didn't really want to relinquish his parental rights to his son. Once she died, Michael seemed totally unsure of how to raise the son he barely knew.
Michael at first had conflicts with Jin, because he disapproved of the way the Korean man treated his wife, Sun. But now Michael and Jin seem to understand each other.
Michael built a raft in an attempt to seek help for the Lostaways, and it may have brought them to safety had the "Others" not found them first. Now that the "Others" have Walt, Michael will go to any lengths to get him back...including violence, betrayal, and murder. |
