Evangeline Lilly is originally from Canada and sent an audition tape in for Lost. She got the part but came so close to losing it as her work visa didn't come through until the last minute.
Even though she was really new to acting and had hardly anything on her resume, J.J. Abrams liked her and gave her a chance. She did have difficulty at the beginning, feeling really insecure and practicing her scenes over and over. She also had some mannerisms and such that she needed to unlearn so basically, working on Lost was a sort of acting school for her. Lucky girl! She got a great part as well as people patient enough to help her hone her acting skills.
If this hadn't had happened for her, she probably wouldn't be the star she is now with the Hobbit movies under her belt, the upcoming Ant-Man, and several other big movies on her resume.
During the show's run, Evangeline and Dominic Monaghan dated for awhile. Random. The guy who came to lost from the LotR movies and the girl who finished Lost and ended up in the Hobbit movies.
