Out of the lineup, only Evangeline Lilly became a major star?


Hollywood just gave up on Matthew Fox, Josh Holloway, and Ian Somerhalder as leading men? Mitchell's in the Purge movies. Is Hurley still alive?

What qualifies as a major star and why would it matter for a mildly rated TV series like "Lost" which had more of a cult following but not a strong or big enough demographic base to justify a series longevity like Grey's Anatomy or Big Bang Theory?

All of the names, including Evangeline, mentioned were never big stars when "Lost" was at its peak. The show's popularity arose from the intriguing characters and story premise, but it quickly devolved when Lindelof muddled up the entire show with half-ass cosmology.
