From All Movie Guide: British actor Naveen Andrews first attracted international attention as Kip, Juliette Binoche's Sikh boyfriend in The English Patient (1996). A graduate of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Andrews got his start on television, starring in the popular -- to say nothing of racy -- 1993 miniseries The Buddha of Suburbia. The same year that he appeared in The English Patient, the actor portrayed a haughty king in Mira Nair's Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love, a film whose content inspired no shortage of controversy in India. He subsequently worked in a variety of films on both sides of the Atlantic, including Blessed Art Thou, which had its premiere at the 2000 Sundance Festival. ~ Rebecca Flint, All Movie Guide

English actor Naveen Andrews is best known to television audiences as Sayid, the savvy Iraqi in the series Lost. He grew up in London and studied drama at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. After several stage productions, Andrews made his film debut in London Kills M (1991, directed by Hanif Kureishi). His big break came with the role of Kip, the sexy, hair-washing flame of Juliet Binoche's character in The English Patient (1996... starring Kristin Scott Thomas). Since then he has appeared in several television and film productions, and his role in Lost catapulted him to fame in both England and in the U.S., where he now makes his home. His other movies include Mighty Joe Young (1998, with Charlize Theron), Drowning on Dry Land (1999, with his real-life girlfriend, actress Barbara Hershey) and Rollerball (2002, with Rebecca Romijn-Stamos).

Naveen Andrews is especially proud of the fact that, being of Indian descent, he's broken into mainstream media. And indeed he has, as the Emmy-nominated costar of the ABC smash frosh hit, Lost. Andrews began his TV career in his native Great Britain, where he ... worked in theater and film and won several awards. He earned international recognition for a supporting role in the Academy Award-winning film The English Patient. A fan of country music, Andrews is also a songwriter and plays guitar.

Lost star Naveen Andrews plays a military scientist involved with the government's handling of a disease agent from the Afghanistan war in Robert Rodriguez' Planet Terror segment of Grindhouse, the collaborative effort of Rodriguez and filmmaker Quentin Tarantino. Be forewarned: Andrews' character has a very bizarre obsession (he likes to remove the testicles of his enemies and keep them in jars) and the actor discusses that in this interview.
