We had previously reported that the Lost folks were quietly casting for a young Phillip Seymour Hoffman-type for a multi-episode arc this season and an even bigger role next season.

Well the good news is Ausiello found out who was cast in the role: October Road's Brad Henke.  While he didn't tell us much else about the character, we do know he'll have ties to the upcoming, mysterious Ilana.
