The actor who plays Dr. Jack Shephard in the cult US series will be glad to leave Hawaii, where 'Lost' is filmed, and move to Oregon when the programme finishes next year. He said: "It's been a great experience but myself and my family are really looking forward to moving on."
Matthew who has daughter Kyle Allison, 12, and seven-year-old son Byron with his wife Margherita - admits living in the idyllic location has been good for his family, but insists the time is right for them to move on. He explained to US talk show host David Letterman: "For my children, having a chance to spend all that time in Hawaii, and spend that much time in the water, and learning how to surf, all that's been great. Especially for the little guy, it's been a big deal. We moved over there when he was two or three. "But Oregon has wide open spaces. The kids have spent quite a bit of time there, and both of them are really into getting on a horse. Particularly Kyle - she's totally in love with it."
Matthew has previously revealed he won't make another TV show when 'Lost' finishes. He said: "I'm pretty sure that will be the last television thing that I will do."
