LOS ANGELES-David Cavanaugh,best known as the guy who says"Previously on Heroes"at the beginning of the hit NBC program,revealed to reporters Tuesday that his true career ambition is to become the guy who says"Previously on Lost"on the popular ABC show Lost.
"I"m extremely proud of the crucial part I play on Heroes,"said the 47-year-old voice-over actor,whose role on the show primarily entails alerting viewers that they are about to watch a short montage of scenes from prior eisodes."I"ve taken this unseen narrator character as far as anyone can,and I've done
everything I set out to accomplish on Heroes.Now I'm
ready for the big leagues."
Cavanaugh,who landed his first big"Previously on"role duning the short-lived CW program Veronica Mars,said he had struggled for years to make ends meet by doing
freelance"To be continued"jobs and the occasional"
Promotional consideration provided by"gig.But after landing a dream "Previously on" opportunty with the premiere of Heroes,Cavanaugh says there was no looking back.
"Don't get me wrong.there are 'Use only as directed'
guys who would kill to be where I'm at,but I know I was meant for so much more,"Cavanaugh said."I"d lose a full syllable making the transition to Lost,but the show has such complex and mysterious recaps that I feel it would give my voice some real opportunities
to shine.No offense to the way they do it on lost,but I can take it in so many new directions."
"First and foremost,I would hit that in 'lost'a little
harder,instead of trailing off and leaving the viewer confused and directionless."Cavanaugh added."That's
'Previously on'101,if you ask me."
Though Cavanaugh has no professional experience saying
'Previously on Lost,'he said he is confident that his years of vocal training,his love of performing,and his familiarity whth speaking two-thirds of the phrase would adequately prepare him for the new challenge.
