Boone Carlyle
Boone Carlyle is a fictional character who was played by Ian Somerhalder on the ABC drama television series ''Lost'', which chronicles the lives of the survivors of a plane crash in the south Pacific.

The character was generally well received by critics and fans; ''USA Today'' described Boone as a "callow, privileged young man striving for maturity."
