"You're scheming," Mark Pellegrino accused AOL TV at Creation Entertainment's "Salute to Supernatural" convention in Los Angeles on March 28.

"You're trying to figure out a way to get in, but you won't. I challenge you: Go!"




He revealed that, despite the legendary confidentiality agreements the "Lost" cast is obligated to sign, he didn't recall ever putting his name on such a contract; but if you think that made him more forthcoming with gossip, you're sadly mistaken.


"If I gave you spoilers, I'd be that guy who ruined "Lost" and wound up in a 55 gallon drum buried underneath Giants stadium," he told us in an one-on-one interview.

While he might not have been able to give away the upcoming ending to the "Lost" saga, we were still able to glean some interesting hints about 'Jacob's' upcoming role in the show.






Enigmatic 'Jacob' is generally believed to be the epitome of goodness on "Lost", a "Christ-like carpenter figure," according to the show's executive producers...

To Pellegrino, the distinction is far from black and white. "Sometimes what appears to be evil on the outside may not be, and vice versa," the Los Angeles native said.

"The characters are ambiguous, they're both kind of pursuing the right thing -- maybe in some inappropriate ways, but they still want the right thing. I leave the judgment to the audience."






In the March 23 episode of "Lost", the smoke monster tried to convince Richard (Nestor Carbonell) that 'Jacob' was the devil -- a role Pellegrino has obviously become more than acquainted with thanks to his stint on "Supernatural".

"I don't know what it is that people see in me that makes them think, 'Oh yeah, Satan, Mark Pellegrino. We need somebody who's evil? Let's get this guy!'" he laughed.

"Maybe it's something that I'm doing. You tell me, when I come in the room, do I give off a presence of darkness or evil? How do I make my eyes seem more benign?"
