Approaching Lost

Jorge Garcia Interview

by Nikki on July 23rd, 2007

Did you know that Jorge originally read for the part of Sawyer!!!

Did you only audition for Hurley, or someone else, too?
When I went in they were still writing the script so they had me read the part of Sawyer. I wasn’t really auditioning for the part. They just wanted to see an example of my acting. Later they wrote two Hurley scenes to audition with for the studio and network.

Were you surprised when you saw the end of the Season 3 finale?
Well I was surprised when I heard about the ending. I was told ahead of time what it was going to be. SO I knew what it was before I saw it.

Which is your favorite LOST episode?
Hmm… Well the Pilot (Season 1, Ep. 1&2) will always be special. But so will “Dave” because Hurley got some romance.

How do you relate to your character, Hurley? Are you similar to him?
Well he WAS written for me so yes I’d say we are pretty similar. I’m just not as haunted by the curse like he is.

I know you can’t tell us anything specific, but do you know anything about Season 4 of LOST? When will you start shooting?
I know nothing. We start working August 16th.

I know you probably can’t tell us, but I’ll ask anyway. Do you know who will have a flashback or flashforward in the first episode of Season 4?
No idea.

If you were stranded on an island, how different would you act from your character, Hurley? What would you do [if you were stranded on a �deserted” island]?
I might try to lead more. I can use my “experience” to keep the group together and surviving.

I personally love your Hurley action figure. How did you feel about doing them?
I think they are great and one of the things I’m most proud of.

Besides yourself, who is your favorite character on LOST?
Tough call. I like Saywer, he get’s great lines. BUt I also like the ambiguity of Locke.
