Before working on Lost, Terry and his wife, Lori lived in Finkburg, Maryland.
(edit)
Terry has a black belt in Karate.
(edit)
His real name is Terrance Quinn, but he lengthened his name to distinguish himself from actor Terry Quinn.
(edit)
Terry did the audio commentary for Lost's "Walkabout" episode in the Lost: Complete First Season DVD set. It was written by David Fury and directed by Jack Bender.
(edit)
In 2006 and 2008, O'Quinn was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor on Television for Lost. He won the award for the same role in 2005. In 1988, he was also nominated for a Saturn Best Actor Award for The Stepfather.
(edit)
Terry O'Quinn: (about writing on "Lost") I think the writers respond to what they see in the cast big time, not necessarily in terms of story points but certainly in terms of performance points and where they take the character.
(edit)
Terry O'Quinn: (on his own action figure) Well I haven't seen it. That was never one of dreams to be an action figure so I don't know. Somebody asked me if I hoped the action figure had props and I said yeah, a little gun to shoot himself (laugh). Or if you get one, buy him and release him in the garden with a little knife where he can hunt mice.
(edit)
Terry O'Quinn: (on his character in "Lost", season two) A button-pusher? No. Never. I've been doing this since I was in college and before that I did nothing. The button pushing was a whole new experience for me and I found it very dissatisfying and I was unhappy for Locke. Locke was unhappy and I was very sympathetic.
(edit)
Terry O'Quinn: (during his 2007 Emmy win for "Lost") I think about my castmates and my crewmates represented here by the great and glorious Michael Emerson and I realize why I have the best job in the world.
(edit)
Terry O'Quinn: Really, I think of fame as distracting, it's something you have to get around.
