If you've been wondering what Matthew Fox has been up to since Lost, then look no further. He plays a murderer and MMA fighter in the latest Alex Cross film. This time Tyler Perry temporarily strips away his fat suit to play the detective/psychologist -- first portrayed by Morgan Freeman in Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider -- as he hunts for his wife's murderer. Lost's Matthew Fox, as you can see above, daringly decided to play the killer role without any signs of body fat -- and without the dramatic crutches of hair or skin (shades of Edward Norton in American History X, anyone?). We can only imagine the countless workout questions the actor will be asked at press junkets when this thing comes out.
XXX and The Fast and the Furious director Rob Cohen helmed the film, so you probably shouldn't expect anything more profound than the Alex Cross commercials from author James Patterson. However, if you're interested in seeing Fox look insane and insanely ripped, or seeing Tyler Perry wear a trenchcoat, here are some production stills from the set. Alex Cross hits theaters in October.
