Acting career

Recurring role in Lost

Dustin Watchman portrayed the recurring background character Scott Jackson on the ABC television series Lost (2004–2010). Scott Jackson was a middle-section survivor of the crash of Oceanic Flight 815, appearing in 13 episodes. His character became known for the running joke among the survivors who continually mixed up his name with that of Steve Jenkins, played by Christian Bowman, a confusion that persisted even after one of them was killed off early in the series. Watchman was upgraded from a primarily background role to a speaking part in the season 1 episode "The Moth," where Scott Jackson had dialogue as part of the beach camp interactions. This brief speaking credit marked a shift for the character amid the ensemble's large cast of crash survivors. In addition to his acting as Scott Jackson, Watchman served as a body double for main cast members Matthew Fox, Josh Holloway, and Terry O'Quinn during production of the series. This work supported various technical and stunt requirements for the principal actors throughout the show's run.

Other acting credits

Dustin Watchman has one additional acting credit outside his recurring role on Lost, appearing in the 2012 science fiction action film Battleship as Sampson Helmsman. This role placed him in a naval setting alongside cast members including Alexander Skarsgård, who portrayed a lead character in the ensemble production directed by Peter Berg. No other film or television acting credits are documented for Watchman beyond this and his work on Lost.

Stand-in and body double work

Dustin Watchman contributed to the television series Lost in an uncredited technical capacity as a body double for several lead actors, including Matthew Fox, Josh Holloway, and Terry O'Quinn.

He later served as the stand-in and body double for Alex O'Loughlin on the Hawaii Five-0 reboot, fulfilling these roles throughout season 1 and part of season 2. Watchman concluded this position in late 2011 upon relocating overseas.
