Boone Carlyle is a
fictional character played by
Ian Somerhalder on the
ABC drama
television series Lost, which chronicles the lives of the survivors of a plane crash in the
south Pacific. Boone is introduced in the
pilot episode as the stepbrother of fellow crash survivor
Shannon Rutherford. He tries to contribute as much as he can to the safety of the castaways and eventually becomes
John Locke's
protégé.
Unlike many other characters of the first season, who were rewritten based on their actors, Boone was largely the same through production. Somerhalder did not want to shoot a pilot; however, he jumped at the opportunity once he found out he would be working with co-creator/executive producer
J.J. Abrams. The character was generally well received by critics and fans;
USA Today described Boone as a "callow, privileged young man striving for maturity."Keveney, Bill, (May 25, 2005) ","
