Sterling Beaumon played a young Benjamin Linus in the third season of Lost. This young talent, active in film and theater, has a guest starring role in the "Safe Haven" episode of Criminal Minds on October 20. TheCelebrityCafe.com's John Neal spoke with Sterling about growing up in front of the camera and playing an unusual suspect.
TheCelebrityCafe: You are going to be on Criminal Minds.
Sterling Beaumon: Yes. October 20, I believe.
TCC: Is this going to be a one-time episode?
SB: I'm not sure if it's one or possible more. As of right now it's one.
TCC: I understand your character is not exactly a good kid.
SB: No. He's a psychopath. He's just a raw egg. He is the furthest thing from a nice kid. He has no emotions. The only emotions he has are those put on for show. His family dropped him off at a hospital and this entire episode is him getting revenge on his mother. And he encounters many other families, and he's a serial killer so there are quite a few dramatic scenes.
TCC: You're how old, 15? What did you have to do to get in that type of role or mindset?
SB: I played young Benjamin Linus on Lost, and he wasn't the crazy person who killed a lot of people. But he changed over the course of time and a lot of events happened to him until he becomes the bad Ben everyone is scared of. I took what Mike Emerson told me about his character and what he did to channel into him. I really took from that and asked a lot questions until I got this role down. This character is really a cross of Benjamin Linus and this other role I played in this show called The Cleaner, who is a sweet kid who got caught up with the wrong people. This kid, if he had more a choice, I guess he wouldn't be like this. But that's just the way he is.
