There is a good article in the USAToday for those who are wondering about Rodrigo Santoro’s character, Paulo. Paulo’s love interest is new Lostie, Nikki.

The day before, he visited the Lost production office for a wardrobe fitting and met Kiele Sanchez, the woman cast as his love interest, Nikki. He describes her as “sweet,” but adds that “her character is going to surprise a lot of people.”

What is most surprising about these two cast additions is how little they have appeared on-screen.

Santoro and Sanchez made their debut two weeks ago as never-before-seen crash survivors. They have a bit more to do tonight on a treacherous trek through the jungle that will leave someone dead.

The article goes on to talk more about Rodrigo Santoro’s personal life and his acting background. Worth the read in my opinion.
