ABC's Lost signs 'Brazilian Tom Cruise' Rodrigo Santoro

Just how many people are on that island? ABC's hit series 'Lost' has finally figured out that we really, really don't like re-runs and has changed it's format to a split season schedule.

And now they are bringing in more eye candy for the ladies. Rodrigo Santoro who TV Guide calls the 'Brazilian Tom Cruise' is online according to an exclusive report from TV Guide.

On the TV Guide blog:

Lost has found its new mystery man — and you're reading about it here first! Rodrigo Santoro, best known to American audiences as the hot dude Laura Linney crushed on in Love Actually, is joining the cast this fall.

I know what you're thinking, "Rodrigo... Whatchoo Talkin' 'Bout Willis?"
That was my initial reaction, too. Well, the 30-year-old actor may not be a household name here in the States, but there apparently is no bigger movie star in Brazil than him. Don't take my word for it, though. Read on, as Lost boys Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse proudly discuss their latest find.

He was quite a hit on 'Love Actually' as was Pirates of the Caribbean's Keria Knightley.

Carlton Cuse tells TV Guide - well in true 'Lost' form - uh nothing:

"We don't really want to be at all specific about what we're doing with the character or what he's going to play. Part of the surprise and the enjoyment of watching the show is sort of getting a chance to meet a new character and see how his role is going to unfold in relation to the rest of the cast."

But now things seem to be getting out of balance. The gals now have Doc, Mr. Eko, Sawyer and the 'Brazilian Tom Cruise' while many of the ladies have been killed off.

Will there be another femme signing soon?
