William Atherton Signed For Guest Spot On LOST

Twitter was flooded with guesses to the identity of the newly signed guest star on LOST for this season. Many people, including myself guessed Anthony Peck.

Turns out that it’s really William Atherton. How did the hints get us there?

The clues: Die Hard, Peck and Barr

William Atherton played the obnoxious reporter in Die Hard.

He played Walter Peck in Ghostbusters.

He also played Dr. Barr in Desperate Housewives.

I really look forward to this. He was great in Die Hard, Ghost Busters, and in Real Genius.
