Lost has added Rodrigo Santoro to the cast of season 3 according to a Yahoo news article.

Show producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof remained characteristically mum on the details of the 30-year-old actor’s role, confirming the casting to TVGuide.com, but refusing to divulge whether Santoro’s alter ego will be an Other, part of a character’s flashback or a member of the off-island world.

Also discussed in the article was a few season 3 plot points and some information about the Hanso Foundation.

Cuse said the run-up to the season’s first hiatus–the show takes a 13-week break after the airing of its first six episodes–”will look a little like a miniseries.” Lindelof added, “Something happens midway through the year that will fry everybody’s brain.”

The Lost masterminds also said that they’ll be amping up the adventure elements of the show this season and will revisit the off-island world they tapped into with the season finale.

The Lost Experience, the online interactive game launched last spring to give fans clues to the island, will spill the meaning behind Hurley’s lottery numbers–4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42–which are prevalent throughout the show. Their importance will be revealed to gamers who complete the third phase of the challenge.
