Naveen Andrews

 

Naveen William Sidney Andrews (born January 17, 1969) is an Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated Indian-English actor. He is known for his roles in The English Patient (1996) and as Sayid in the U.S.A. television series Lost.

Early Life 

Andrews was born in London, England to Nirmala, a psychologist, and Stanley Andrews, a businessman, both immigrants from Kerala, India. He was raised in Wandsworth, South London (beside the River Thames) and had what he has described as a "very repressive" upbringing. Andrews was raised in the Methodist religion. At the age of 16, whilst at Emanuel School, he fell in love with his mathematics teacher, Geraldine Feakins with whom he had a son, Jaisal, born in 1992. Andrews was quoted in an interview later on saying that "[his] father would call [him] a prostitute" about being famous at his school "for going out with a maths teacher".

Personal Life 

Andrews is a recovering drug addict and alcoholic. He suffered from these conditions when he lived in London during his early twenties, and his promising screen career nearly ended. Andrews moved across the Atlantic to the United States to seek rehabilitation and get his life back on track. His efforts were successful, but he says that London provides painful memories of his alcohol and heroin addictions.

Andrews is in a relationship with actress Barbara Hershey and they live in Los Angeles. The couple separated briefly in 2005 and, during that time, Andrews had a son with another woman. He and Hershey later reconciled. In July 2006, Andrews was photographed kissing an unknown woman on Manhattan Beach, but his representative said that he and Hershey are still together

Andrews also plays guitar and sings

Quotes 

* (On Sayid) "If there's one thing I've learned, it's that the show's completely unpredictable," he says. "It's constantly changing. But I sense something sort of spiritual about the character, that somehow there's something in him that's trying to atone for what he's done in the past."
* "The highest compliment I've ever received is when people have come up to me and said, 'I don't watch TV, but I watch your show.' That's the best anyone could hope for."
* "I've been playing the guitar since I was twelve", "If I had any other job apart from acting, that's probably what I would have done."
* "I've always been attracted to older women, because they know who they are", "They look infinitely better to me."

Paid Writing Opportunties 

Gather is a great forum to meet people, read entertaining and informative articles and earn money and gift cards while doing it. On average, I earn approximately $50 a month there just for commenting on articles and submitting a few of my own. The earning potential is definitely higher than that if you want to put more than a couple hours a week into it. Check it out.



MyLot is also a decent moneymaker. It doesn't pay as much for your time as Gather but it is still a worthy time investment. Thus far, I've been able to make the minimum payout every month without any referrals and commenting on posts just a few times a week.
