    Big man, big talent hide show

    Jorge Garcia is one of those actors who will probably go down as "The man best known for...", in this case, Hurley, the lovable, down-to-earth, regular Joe on Lost who has a string of good luck/bad luck (depending on how you looka at it). The shame is that he seems to have alot of talent and is just made for this part, but after the show is done, he will likely only show up in guest spots here nad there. From what I have been able to learn, Jorge was involved in stand-up comedy before becoming an actor, and you do see his comedic abilities in Lost. What makes him special is that he is able to portray the humour and the sensitivity at the same time. Hurley is my favourite characer on Lost largely because Garcia plays him so well. I would love to see him attempt other roles once Lost is finished. It will be interesting to see if that comes about.

    Jorge Garcia was born in Omaha, Nebraska on April 28, 1973. Though born in Nebraska, Jorge grew up in Cuba. In high school, he was in the high school wrestling team as Baby Face Assasin. in 2004, he gained fame for his role of Hugo "Hurley" Reyes on Lost.He was also the first to be cast in Lost. His hobbies are: listening to music(he claims to have 91 songs on iTunes), playing poker, performing stand-up comedy. Jorge is of Chilean and Cuban descent. His height is 6'(1.83m). Since he is a big fan of music, in high school, he worked in many record stores. He has a pet dachsund-Chihuahua mix dog named Nunu and a cat named Little Ninja. In my opinion, he is a funny actor especially on Lost. I rate Jorge Garcia a 9. Keep up the great work Jorge Garcia!

    Review hide show

    I think that Jorge is the one supporting role character on Lost that could actually carry a show in a main role once his run on Lost comes to an end. Comedy seems to be where his acting is at the strongest and I think that his comedy and down to life attitude on Lost is one of the most important parts to keep the series in that 'real life' feel. Then they get into the science fiction stuff and it all comes crashing back down - but Hurley certainly keeps everyone happy and I think that Jorge does a great job. I think that he could be a huge star after Lost and I couldnt believe that he hasnt had many roles before he joined the cast of Lost. Very good actor I think, a hidden gem sitting out there in Hollywood if no one picks him up.

    What's not to like about Jorge? He plays a fantastically frenetic character on "Lost" who ran away to escape these numbers that helped him win the lottery, yet otherwise caused him and his family tragedy.

    In Lost, his character Hurley is just gorgious and is one of the most entertaining characters on Lost. Sometimes on the show, it doesn't seem like he is really acting but just some amatuer but its just his great character who is does a brilliant job of playing. Gotta' love Hurley and those numbers!
