Lost's Naveen Andrews has apparently admitted he thought the show's premise was "ridiculous" when he first read the script.
The actor, who plays Sayid Jarrah on the hit US series, had no idea the desert island drama would be such a success, according to Heat magazine.
"Even if something is well-written, you know it might be critically well received, but you don't know if the public are going to buy it," said the 39-year-old.
"Personally, I just thought it was a ridiculous premise. People on an island? How long is that going to last without people getting bored?"
Naveen revealed the show has opened more doors for him.
"The great thing about Lost and the fact that it has been so successful is that it's opened up other avenues of work," he said. "I think for all of us to be able to go on and do good work as a result of this show is the best thing that we can take from it."
