Alan Dale [SEP] Wider success
In 2006, Dale was cast in the starring role of Bradford Meade, the owner of Meade Publications in the ABC show "Ugly Betty". Although he impressed the producers in his audition, he initially lost the role to a "bigger star". After said star began "causing trouble" and was fired, Dale was given the part. Bradford was killed off during the show's second season. Dale appeared in the second-season finale of "Lost", "Live Together, Die Alone", as Charles Widmore, a businessman and leader of the Others. Dale's publicist was initially worried that Widmore (who was an integral part of the show's mystery) would become a starring role, meaning it would be hard for Dale to appear in both "Lost" and "Ugly Betty" at the same time.
