'''Henry Ian Cusick''' portrayed Desmond Hume.
==Background and personal life==
'''Henry Ian Cusick''' was born in Peru to a Peruvian mother and Scottish father. His family lived in Trujillo for two years before traveling back to Europe to live in Spain and Scotland. Soon afterward, they moved to Trinidad and Tobago, where Cusick lived until he was fifteen years old, attending Presentation College. At fifteen, Cusick returned to Scotland, where he attended the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow and then joined the Citizens' Theatre after being asked to leave the academy due to attendance issues.
After fourteen years of cohabitation, Cusick married Annie Wood in June 2006, with whom he has three children Elias, Lucas and Esau.
In April 2009, Cusick was accused of harassment and sexual battery by Chelsea Stone, a former employee of American Broadcasting Company. Stone claimed that Cusick groped her and made inappropriate sounds and gestures in October 2007 while on the ''Lost'' set. ABC and Grass Skirt Productions were also named as defendants because Stone alleged they did nothing to keep her away from Cusick after she complained. Stone, who is seeking unspecified damages, was fired on October 28, 2007. http//news-briefs.ew.com/2009/04/henry-ian-cusic.html
In October 2009 Cusick, ABC and Grass Skirt Productions agreed to pay Chelsea Stone a settlement, and refused to give a statement about what happened.http//uk.eonline.com/uberblog/b150874_lost_star_makes_sex_suit_disappear.html

Later, he auditioned for the part of Desmond in London, sending in his audition tape to LA. After Cusick accepted the role, Cuse saw that scripts were being sent to an address next door to his.
