Zeke is the banjo player for Lubbock Lou and His Jughuggers. He has shaggy yellow hair, a shaggy yellow beard, and wears round-lensed sunglasses.
Although the other jugband members debuted in Episode 208, Zeke did not appear until Episode 212. In seasons 4 and 5, Zeke was seen less often with the jug-band, but instead frequently backed up Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, usually on the marimba. It was at this point that the character was assigned to Steve Whitmire.
Zeke can be seen without his sunglasses in John Denver and The Muppets: Rocky Mountain Holiday. He also appeared in the "Rainbow Connection Finale" of The Muppet Movie and as one of the residents of the Happiness Hotel in The Great Muppet Caper.

Tom Friendly was a member of the Others who was apparently loyal to Ben. In the Flight 815 survivors' first encounters with the Others, he acted as a menacing spokesperson and seemed to be their leader. He wore a fake beard during his early encounters with the survivors, as a part of the Others' facade. While in captivity, Ben said that Tom was "no-one" compared to the real leader, although it is unclear whether Ben was referring to himself or Jacob. ("Dave") While not technically in charge of the Others, Tom did have some authority as shown in his conversation with Ethan ("Maternity Leave"), in his dealings with Alex and Pickett ("The Hunting Party") ("Three Minutes"), and with the party that captured Hurley, Jack, Kate and Sawyer. ("Live Together, Die Alone") Tom surrendered to and was executed by Sawyer on December 21, 2004.

Tom was an Other living on the Island in 2001. It is unknown how and when he joined the Others. Just after Juliet's arrival on the island, Tom was sent by Ben to retrieve her from Harper's office, so that Ben could reveal her new house. While doing so, Tom stated that Harper made him "cry about [his] daddy". ("The Other Woman")
When Claire was being held in the Staff station, Tom—beardless and wearing regular clothing—scolded Ethan for not making a list before bringing Claire. After hearing Ethan's explanation, he replied, "You know what he's going to do when he finds out." ("Maternity Leave")
Ben mentioned Tom going scouting with Pickett, and he was the one who happened upon Goodwin's body. When they tried to find the tailies, they were unsuccesful in this.("The Other Woman")
Tom made his first appearance as a passenger on a boat with three more Others: a pair of men, and an older woman. Jin, Sawyer, Michael, and Walt were sailing on the raft, attempting to find rescue assistance when the boat appeared on their radar screen. Sawyer forced Michael to shoot their only flare and the boat turned around to encounter the raft. Tom's initial contact brought joy to the raft passengers, who believed help had finally arrived. However, the mood quickly soured when the real intentions were made clear with Tom's declaration that he was "going to need to take the boy". Michael furiously refused, Sawyer grabbed his gun, and the Others attacked. They shot Sawyer in the shoulder who then fell into the water, punched Michael and threw him from the raft, and grabbed Walt. While Jin dove into the water trying to save Sawyer, Tom and the Others returned to their boat, blew up the raft, and drove away. ("Exodus, Part 2")
A few days later, it is understood that Tom went to the Pearl station for some reason, as Juliet comments on Day 49 in the station "Tom was in here a couple of days ago". ("Exposé")
After the three raft survivors were reunited with the main camp, Michael set off to find Walt. Tom and some of the Others overtook Michael, captured him with bolas, and took him hostage, warning him not to make a sound. When Jack, Sawyer and Locke finally caught up with Tom, he came out from the shadows and warned them not to cross "the Line", meaning that they were not to explore the northern part of the Island. He said that doing so would change the situation from a "misunderstanding" to "something else". ("The Hunting Party") ("Three Minutes")
During this encounter, Tom revealed to the three survivors that Walt and the others they took, including Emma and Zack, were still alive. He referred to Walt as "special". He quoted Alvar Hanso, saying: "You know, somebody a whole lot smarter than anybody here once said 'Since the dawn of our species, man's been blessed with curiosity", and asked Jack if he knows the other one about curiosity, referring to the statement "curiosity killed the cat". ("The Hunting Party")
When Jack accused Tom of not having any real strength, instead having to rely on spies like Ethan to infiltrate the survivors' camp and learn their names, Tom called that an "interesting theory".
Tom then brought Michael to the Others' camp, where he left him to Ms. Klugh to take care of him for the next 10 days. ("The Hunting Party") ("Three Minutes")
13 days later, after Michael helped the Others capture Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Hurley, Tom acted as spokesperson for the group. Kate said that she knew his beard was fake, but she was gagged so Tom didn't understand her. Ms. Klugh explained: "she says she knows your beard's fake, Tom." Tom removed his beard, commenting how much it itches, and sarcastically thanking "Bea" for revealing his name. After the exchange of Walt for the four people on Klugh's list, Tom helped take the prisoners away to the Hydra Island. ("Live Together, Die Alone")
Tom was in charge of getting Kate ready for her breakfast with Ben. When Kate told him that she wouldn't take a shower in front of him, he said "you're not my type". He led her to a beach where Ben was waiting for her. ("A Tale of Two Cities")
At the cages area, where Sawyer was being held, another prisoner named Karl escaped from his cage and freed Sawyer. Karl was captured by several Others, including Tom, who made him apologize to Sawyer for using him as a diversion for his own escape. He was then taken away to an unknown fate. ("A Tale of Two Cities")
After Kate's breakfast, Tom led her to the cage that used to be Karl's. During this scene, a ring is visible on Tom's hand, located specifically on his left finger. Sawyer showed him the fish biscuit he got after figuring out their "complicated gizmos". Tom noted that it only took the polar bears two hours. ("A Tale of Two Cities")
Following the prisoners' first day on the Hydra Island, Tom and Danny took Kate and Sawyer to a rock clearing quarry. While they were going to the labor area, an Other named Colleen approached them, kissed Danny and enlisted Tom for her strike team which was sent by Ben to capture the survivors' sailboat. They reached the boat without being seen by Sayid or Jin, who were guarding it, possibly using the "Galaga". On the boat, Sun shot Colleen in the stomach, and tried to escape. Tom and Ivan opened fire, and Sun escaped. ("The Glass Ballerina")
When the strike team returned with an injured Colleen to the Hydra island, they all hurried to the operating room, where Juliet tried to save her life. Tom on the other hand went with Ben, Matthew, and Jason to the underwater section of the Hydra station, where they tortured Sawyer. After Sawyer was released, Tom went back to the operating room, where Jack helped Juliet with Colleen's surgery, which eventually failed. ("Every Man for Himself")
Tom supervised Ben's operation, in which Jack purposely made a small incision in Ben's kidney sac, giving him an estimated one hour to live, and demanded Tom hand over his walkie-talkie so Jack could speak to Kate. Tom complied and contacted Danny, just in time to save Kate and Sawyer's lives. ("I Do")
Jack revealed to Tom Juliet's plan to kill Ben during the surgery, but Juliet denied it. After Juliet left, Tom asked Jack if it was true, and Jack confirmed it. When Juliet started to cry during her talk with Ben, Tom commented that they have a history together. ("Not in Portland")
As Juliet left to help Kate and Sawyer escape, Jack enlisted Tom's help with finishing the surgery. Tom seemed to have problems with blood, and made the mistake of revealing this to Jack, who subsequently showed him the bloody tumor he removed from Ben's spine. Tom also listened to Kate's confirmation story, the same story Jack told her when she stitched him up after the crash. While listening to this story, Jack completed the surgery. ("Not in Portland")
Tom has twice referred to "when the sky went purple". The first time was in regard to communications ("Every Man for Himself"), the second time was when Jack asked why they didn't take Ben to a proper facility for his spinal surgery. Tom began his explanation, but he was cut off before he could fully explain it. ("Not in Portland")
After Ben's surgery, Tom had an intense conversation with Jack, who believed that the Others would kill him, since they didn't need him anymore. Tom asked for an explanation, and Jack replied that people who abduct a pregnant girl and hang a guy from a tree are not good people, prompting Tom to respond with a quip about glass houses. Once Jack was transferred into Sawyer's cage, Tom gave him food, and discovered that Jack knew about the video surveillance. ("Stranger in a Strange Land")
After Jack and Alex stopped Juliet's trial, Tom grabbed Jack by his shirt, demanding to know why he was there. Isabel calmed him down, and read a note from Ben, who ordered to stop the surgery, and to mark Juliet instead of killing her. Later that day, Tom and the Others left the Hydra Island on the yacht. ("Stranger in a Strange Land")
Tom found Michael in a Manhattan alleyway, about to shoot himself, and distracted him by asking him the time. Tom revealed himself and remarked to Michael, "we let you leave one island and you just go to another". They fought, ending with Michael holding a broken champagne bottle to Tom's throat, and Tom holding a gun to Michael. Michael begged him to pull the trigger. He surmised Michael's deathwish was because he had revealed to Walt that he murdered Ana Lucia and Libby to save Walt. But he said that the Island wouldn't let Michael kill himself, and returned his gun to let him find out for himself. Tom told Michael he had more work to do, and once he figured it out, to see him in the penthouse at the Hotel Earle. ("Meet Kevin Johnson")
After seeing the news bulletin on Flight 815 in the Sunda Trench, Michael visited Tom at the hotel, surprising him with how quickly he arrived. Tom was there with a man named Arturo, who correctly guessed that Michael was the guy who hit Tom with a champagne bottle; Tom admitted he "had it coming". Tom asked Arturo to let him talk to Michael alone, and Arturo left, kissing Tom on the cheek. Tom asks Michael if he would like a drink, to which Michael declines. Tom explained that he didn't make it to the mainland often, so when he did he liked to indulge himself (alluding to the food and drink, and perhaps sexual indulgence). ("Meet Kevin Johnson")
Tom said that some of the people on the Island can just come and go, and explained the plane at the bottom of the Ocean, claiming that Charles Widmore staged the whole wreck, so no one else would find the Island.
After Michael got to Fiji, Tom directed him to wait a few days until he was in open sea, and warned him not to get cold feet after meeting some of the crew, naming "Sun, Sawyer, Jack, Claire, her baby..." as those would die if he didn't follow through. He warned Michael that he would have to explain to Walt how he let all of them die too. ("Meet Kevin Johnson")
After returning to the island, Tom was seen by Sayid, Locke, Kate and Danielle playing football with Jack at the Barracks. ("Par Avion")
That same night he informed Ben that Kate and Sayid had been captured and were being held at his place; Ben ordered Tom to separate them. Later, Tom took Jack to where Kate was being held and told him that the place was bugged. Following Jack and Juliet's "farewell" to Ben, Tom escorted them to the dock, where he witnessed the destruction of the submarine. ("The Man from Tallahassee")
Tom was present when the bound and gagged Anthony Cooper was revealed to Locke, and promptly shuts the door to the room before too many questions were asked. Later, Tom was again present at the Others' camp, seen packing up and leaving with them after Locke's failure to kill his father. ("The Man from Tallahassee") ("The Brig")
Locke startled Tom and the rest of the Others when he turned up at their new campsite with his father's body on his back, asking Ben to take him to the mysterious Jacob. Mikhail was punched repeatedly after disagreeing with Locke's decision while Tom watched neglectfully. Along with the other Others, Tom gazed in disbelief at Ben and Locke, who set out on a trek to talk to Jacob. ("The Man Behind the Curtain")
Tom participated in the raid on the beach camp, survived the explosions which killed seven Others, and helped capture Sayid, Jin, and Bernard.
Sawyer, however, shot and killed Tom anyway. Sawyer stated, "That's for takin' the kid off the raft," (i.e. the kidnapping of Walt). When questioned by Hurley, Sawyer said he didn't believe that Tom's declaration of surrender was genuine. ("Through the Looking Glass")
Juliet buried Tom's corpse with the other camp raiders next to the jungle. ("The Beginning of the End")
