"Lost" is wrapping, and the two leads are chucking the medium that made them famous.

Matthew Fox says he's done with television. And Evangeline Lilly says she's done with acting according to E!.

"I think this will be the last time you see me on TV," Matthew told E! "I'm either going to do the kind of things I want to do in the film world, or maybe I'll just do something else entirely."

Matthew returns to the Pacific Northwest to be closer to his brothers and their families.

"I've done almost 300 hours of [TV]," he told E!. "It's been two really great experiences between Party of Five and Lost. I'm ready to take it to the next step and see what I can do in that [film] world."

And Evangeline?

"I want to have some quiet space," Evangeline says. "[I want to] drop off the radar a little bit and enjoy a little bit of normalcy again."
