This has now been confirmed as a hoax.
Update: 10th April This has been confirmed true and is now posted in the Spoilers section.
Update: 21:50 GMT Looks like there might be a bit more to this story thanks to my good friend The ODI.
Through various italian sources (realiable contacts at Telefilm-Central.org, the greatest Italian forum regarding tv shows) I have had a sort of confirmation of this and some additional info.
Memphis has had a scene with Matthew Fox and Lance Reddick. They filmed in Pearl City and Memphis' character is supposed to be called "Emilio".
They told me that the filming of the scene took only few hours, then Ricky came back to Italy, so I think it will be a minor role, but my contact said that Memphis was asked the possibility to come back in the future. Since there are only few episodes left, I think that "future" means "next season".

Thanks to DarkUFO reader Antonio for the following.
Italian star Ricky Memphis in a guest-star role in one episode of Lost.
However I think that it would be a great news, since Memphis is considered a real star in Italy.

its funny that he apologizes for bad english, and then states everything (almost) just fine and even uses the phrase "spill the beans" correctly......
I fixed a number of spelling errors for them before posting.
I am Italian and I am speechless!
He's a nice guy and everything but in the acting department....no comment!
ps. Dark, is this a belated April's fool for your Italian fans community?!
I missed the 'Memphis is considered a real star in Italy' bit...
mwhahahahahaaa :D
Well, he IS well known here in Italy, thanks to a very well rated tv show (he was one of the cops and his death was a major cliffangher).
But a real star? Not so much.
But I think he is an interesting actor, even if not suitable for a major hit like Lost
@ elisabetta
ahahhahahahhahahah...great star yes...in America there is GEorge clooney we hAve ricky memphis!!! AHHAHAHAHAH
@silvia
povero!!
è anche simpatico, ti giuro, a me piace un sacco, ma in Lost?! Magari cercano un Romano de Roma!! E allora Silvia potevi andarci anche tuuu!!
E cque grande star in Italia, dai non esageriamo!
ps. ahò Germà so Maurooo
He reminds me of a less-attractive Matthew Fox/Jack Shepherd, especially in the nose and the mouth...which reminds me of the guys in the Arctic igloo working for Penny, especially the one that looked like MF/JS...
Does anyone else think that???
GOD! I wish that it was April 24th!
@juniebun
excuse me?!
you seriously need to check that eye-glass prescription...
OK... Now I want David Hasselhoff..
elisabetta, when I first saw ricky menphis's face, I thought it was a April's fool or that I was on the wrong site xD.
No, I hope that it's a fake
che culo!!!
ma allora è vero!
e ha fatto pure una scena con Foxy!
I'm speachless..
By the way I think that "a real star" .. well.. it's unappropriate :)
@Eli.. possiamo andare anche noi. Partiamo subito per le Hawai che per il 2010 ce la facciamo....
Matthew Fox and Lance Reddick in the same scene...Sun in London, possibly with Ben and/or Widmore...I can't wait to see how this finale is going to play out! But then again that will mean it's all over and nothing to look fwd to for months and monts :(
@fede
tratto da Lost, scena con Ricky Memphis:
Ah jack viene un po' qua che te devo di' 'na cosa...ma sta kate quand'è che te la trombi??
non vedo l'ora di vedermelo!!!
Elisabetta...yes, I think that Ricky Memphis RESEMBLES Matthew Fox, but, as I said, a less-attractive version. In other words, I think that they kind of look alike, but that Matthew Fox is MUCH better looking...
Abaddon & Jack in the same scene? Bet it's a flash forward.
I'm sure he will get a very brief role
WHAT?????????????????????????
lmao! omg let's hope his part is very VERY small
mò ce manca solo un cameo della Arcuri e poi siamo a bolla XD che figuracce ci fan fare.
ELISABETTAAAAAAAAAAAAAA::::::
MA DAVVERO é VEROOOOO???
NN C CAPISCO PIU NNTE
Everybody:
LOok his face!!!...amazing man!!! He is a BURINOZZO!!!!! AHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH
This is a present (very little present) for italian fan!
Ricky Memphis is the best. stage name. EVAH!
Anvedi........grande Ricky eh non c'è che dire!
dai su Ricky mo' vieni pure a posta' su Darkufo eddaiiiii!
Mola el doblaje en español (auténtica emoción)
@ andrea...
The Hasslehoff would take this show to a level we only dreamed of...
Now top that off with a Tom Selleck and a Burt Reynolds (as Jacob) and we have one hell of a show!!
If it's now marked as a hoax in the spoilers section, shouldn't it be likewise marked that way here ?
Todo mundo tá falando na língua original agora ou é minha impressão?
I bet that you american guys didn't understand a word of what I said...
