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!

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!

Jorge rocks. He is my favorite character on LOST where he plays Hurley the lotto winner. I also enjoyed watching him play Hector on Becker even though he wasn't there long. He is one of my favorite actors becuase he is really funny. If I got to meet a celebrity I would definetly chose Oprah then Jorge. Once LOST ends Jorge needs a talk show called Jorge's Happy Hour where he could interview people and he should host The Price is Right now that Bob Barker is leaving. That would be perfect for him. One final thing if Jorge dies on Lost nobody will watch it anymore becuase he makes it worth watching.

Jorge Garcia is a very very funny and very amusing and comedic actor who loves to enetertain his fand in any way he can. He was in the hit comedy series Becker as a recrutting cast. But lightining hit him again and he got a role in ABC's hit TV series LOST! He plays a lead character named Hurley "Hugo" Reyes. His character is someone who finds bad luck and who goes to a mental place because he imagines things. He won the lottery with some random numbers, but everything that happened after the lottery has not been good for him, his family and his friends.

Jorge Garcia\'s comedic timing as Hurley is fabulous! He has the funniest sense of humor, and is always making humor out of situations that wouldn\'t be funny without him. And it\'s real-life humor, not generated humor for t.v., or at least it comes across that way when he does it, and that\'s because his acting really is great!

there's jorge garcia, this huge guy who could easily be the target of cruel jokes, being shown as laughingstock, so where he takes "hurley" at "lost" is just amazing and very much off the cliche.
jorge garcia's hurley is one of my favourite characters at lost. he is sweet, blessed with a very witty, deadpan humour, considerate, friendly, incredibly good-natured and still very courageous (one of my favourite scenes is when he refuses to take along a gun when they go out to find walt: "no way, i could be killing someone!") i really admire hurley's peaceableness, his not wanting to hurt anybody , his caring, his being the "soul" of the whole group and still having gained the respect and admiration of everybody around.
there is some brilliant acting involved to take "hurley" all this way and making him feel so very close and credible and i hope that we are going to see a lot more of the wonderful performance he has given up till now!
