For whatever reason my addition to the article of Truss being referenced in the US television series Lost has been removed. If this is because of suspicions that I made it up I can only assured you that I did not because that reference to Truss was made. If the removal was made because it was not relevant then I beg to differ since the article on former California Governor Gray Davis mentioned that he appeared in the TV series Yes, Dear. Therefore I do see why a reference to Warren Truss who is not that well known in a popular US television series should not be mentioned.

I removed it because it is a piece of silly trivia which does not belong in an encyclopaedia article. Adam 02:36, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

I agree that the Warren Truss Reference from Lost should be included. I will put it in now, however, I don't know the name of the episode it was from off the top of my head. I'll find out, but if anyone else does know it now and wants to include it, by all means do.--SpudHawg948 (talk) 12:04, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

I disagree, I think it is a piece of pointless trivia that adds little value, has little bearing on Mr Truss, and has undue significance in this article. Barrylb (talk) 15:03, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Further, as it says on Lostpedia "It is unknown if Mr. Truss is a fan of Lost or if he knows he was even mentioned on it." which further diminishes its significance and unlike the Gray Davis example mentioned above, Mr Truss did not actually appear in the TV program.
