From armed home invasions to stalking incidents, speeding tickets to DUI charges -- all the way to the inferno that consumed actress Evangeline Lilly's rented Kailua house yesterday -- the good life on O'ahu is proving nearly as treacherous to cast members of the hit series "Lost" as bare-knuckles survival on their mysterious fictional island.
# Oct. 21, 2005: Actor Josh Holloway (Sawyer) and his wife were bound and robbed in their Hawai'i Kai home by a masked gunman. The robber made off with cash, credit cards and Holloway's Mercedes-Benz (later retrieved).
# Oct. 21, 2005: Hours after the Holloway home invasion, "Lost" actor Harold Perrineau (Michael) was followed for 20 minutes by two men in a car as he drove toward fellow actor Daniel Dae Kim's house. Perrineau tried to evade the stalkers, but it wasn't until he pulled his car over and called Kim on his mobile phone that they turned and sped away.
# Dec. 1, 2005: New cast members Michelle Rodriguez (one of several cast members to have already run afoul of the law for speeding) and Cynthia Watros were arrested for drunken driving. Honolulu police pulled the two over after their vehicles were spotted weaving along Pali Highway. Both pleaded guilty, and both were gone from the show by season's end.
# Sept. 2, 2006: Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje ("Mr. Eko") was arrested for disobeying a police officer and driving without a license. The charges were later dropped when Akinnuoye-Agbaje provided proof that he possessed a license. He didn't get off as easily on the show -- he was killed by a smoke-monster (no, we can't explain what that is) -- in the first half of this season.
# Dec. 20, 2006: Lilly's rented home burns to the ground, but no one is hurt.
