Naveen Andrews, who plays the Iraqi character Sayid on \u201cLost,\u201d recently admittedly that he had impregnated a woman\u2014pardon, \u201cfathered a love child\u201d\u2014while on hiatus from his longtime girlfriend Barbara Hershey. Unfortunately, that news preempted a bunch of more interesting tidbits from the British actor, which had appeared in a Gannett interview<\/a> just days before the fathering bombshell.<\/p>\n

Andrews–who wears a cross, calls his mother a \u201cChristian maniac,\u201d and believes \u201cthere are many ways to God\u201d–will appear as Egyptian prince Menerith in a version of \u201cThe Ten Commandments<\/a>\u201d coming to ABC this Spring. On the list of things Andrews won\u2019t be saying again once network publicists get to him is this observation: \u201cOur Moses is portrayed as a nut case.\u201d Also: \u201cGod basically orders genocide in the name of ‘you do what I tell you.’ In this sense, the miniseries, he says, \u201cis a study of dogma\u201d and the dangers of fundamentalism. (Lest you think the film set was all furrowed brows and deep thoughts, Andrews admits in another interview<\/a>, that the actors had a hard time shaking off the feeling that they were in a remake of Monty Python\u2019s \u201cLife of Brian.\u201d)<\/p>\n
