Ending Wet

Remember when I was "starting wet?"
Well now that "316" aired I can finally post these photos of that day.
I was in the water pretty much the whole time I was at work. 
And I was so good at pretending to drown that I actually swallowed a lot of water. 

But because we had a lot of rain at the time, the water was pretty clean. 

So luckily I didn't get sick. 

I did grow a second head though.

  1. Hey awesome pictures! Loved the episode tonight, you did great. Is there anyway to "blow" up the pictures to make them bigger?

  2. I'm such a dork. I got excited when I pulled this up and saw that I was right about this being the day you "started wet". I love reading your blog and watching LOST, and I love when I recognize you elsewhere, like in an episode of Becker that showed up on my TiVo. You seem like a really great guy, and talented not only in acting, but in pumpkin carving and other things. Cheers!

  3. Loved '316', it was all kinds of awesome! My favorite moment had to be Frank Lapidus as the pilot. It didn't look to be a fun shoot though...

    ReplyDelete
  4. So Beth was on the plane! I didn't look close enough. Silly "Lost" making me think about the actually story and not concentrating on Beth. Darn it!

    Oh and I am from Beth's Taste Like Chicken days by the way.

  5. Great episode! As usual. Can't wait to see what happens next.

    Thanks for sharing your pictures from the shoot.

  6. Hi Jorge,
    I just recently found your blog and I am loving it! Thanks so much for showing these behind the scene shots. 316 was awesome! I was on the edge of my seat the whole episode. So good! I can't wait to see what happens next. Thanks again:)

  7. 316 is a new favorite episode for me. Excellent! Thank you!

  8. It must have been tough starting wet with jeans on, I HATE that wet jean feeling!! :)

    Cant wait for next week!

    ReplyDelete
  9. The whole day? Damn, your fingers and toes must have been wrinkly for days!
    The things you have to do for your art... ;-) It's all worth it, though, right?

    ReplyDelete
  10. Man, I don't know how you all keep such great secrets! We're really enjoying this season and tonight's episode was terrific. I just found your blog and really enjoy your work and how you play Hurley! Well done Jorge!

    p.s. yo soy Cubana!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Awesome pictures! Thank you for sharing them. The moment I figured it was Hurley screaming...I immediately thought of your blog post Starting Wet. LOL! The puzzle fit.

    Great show last night!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Mr Garcia, I must tell you that 316 is the best episode of the fifth season, and it might be the best episode of the whole serie...But there's a Constant, too...

    Love Lost man, congratulations. And great job this episode! :)

    ReplyDelete
  13. LOL! The episode was amazing. My daughter, especially, couldn't wait to see it. We can't wait to see next week's episode.

    I was wondering about whether the water was clean in that scene, it looked a bit greenish. Glad you didn't get sick. Thanks for sharing the photos.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I don't know..."clean water" and "grew a second head" don't really seem like they should coincide.

    Great episode, though. I can't wait to see what happens next (or..what happened before? what happens later?)

    ReplyDelete
  15. Beth were you in the background in the airport for a very split second on last nights episode? My eyes could have been playing tricks but I swear I saw you.

    Jorge, 316 was such an exciting episode! I can't wait until next weeks episode! Or for every episode for that matter, Lol.

    ReplyDelete
  16. whoa man! two heads! be careful of that water! Awesome episode last night!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Oh Jorge-what an awesome episode-I was so happy to see you on the flight-but how did you get there? Oh the questions???
    So many answers-but sooooo many questions???? Darn it all!
    Loved the episode-how about Jack belly flopping to you-that had to hurt!

    ReplyDelete
  18. So glad I found your blog the other day- well I was led here by a post on Cake Wrecks, anyway- I love it and was wondering if you posted after the episodes aired. Thanks for sharing the experience with us!

    ReplyDelete
  19. All I could think was... his underwear was in a bag!

    I love your blog by the way.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Ack a two headed monster! Dude, great episode, you were amazing, as always!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Ooh 316 hasn't aired in the UK yet so now I'm really intrigued!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Such a great episode!! Spending your day in the water must have sucked--you were awesome, though.

    I can't wait to see more of this story line.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hurley is my favorite character by far! He is the funniest and also the most real. Love him!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Excellent episode! I agree with the commenter who said he loved the Frank scene! That was sooooo funny!!!!! I hope that water was on the warm side....I can't imagine being fully clothed and in a greenish lagoon all day! Glad you didn't get sick!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I knew immediately that I had read too much of your blog when I immediately turned to my husband and said, "$10 says he wasn't wearing underwear in that scence." Huh? I immediately shook my head at myself. Instantly, I felt like I was in an "I Love Lucy" episode. "_______, you've got some s'plaining to do!"

    I found you through Cake Wrecks too. Too funny. Our family enjoys the show and your character. I really enjoy your posts on travel and your green thumb. Beth is lovely and Nunu is too cute. Many blessings to you.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Looks pretty miserable - being soaking wet all day for the few minutes the scene shot! :)

    Great episode last night. I just found your blog through CakeWrecks and have been reading your archives. I told my boyfriend Josh last night (while watching Lost) how great of a guy you are, and how adorable you are. He got jealous!

    Thanks for the blog - it's been a lot of laughs.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I'm a cake wrecks refugee as well, and pleased that I can now be entertained by you on days other than Wednesday.

    During the lagoon scene, I found myself wondering about your wet underwear, or evern worse your lack of underwear. Sometimes too much information is not a good thing for a mind like mine.

    ReplyDelete
  28. that was a great episode.

    Is that a guitar for Charlie in proxy, like Jack's Dad's shoes? hmmm....

    ReplyDelete
  29. Thanks for sharing these pics!
    But next time I won't drink coffee while reading your blog... I almost spit it all on my laptop when I saw your brand new head :D
    I can't wait to see this season *sighs* It sucks to wait so many months to see them, but I live in Italy and all I can do is wait :-/

    ReplyDelete
  30. I love the full circle of you "starting wet" to last nights ep!

    I want to know about the guy hanging in the water with you? Is he the stunt coordinator, or just the guy on the floaty to make sure you don't really die?

    Love you blog, share it with all my Lostie friends~!

  32. I haven't watched last night's episode yet, but it's waiting on the Tivo for me the minute I get home from work. This looks promising! Great pictures, thanks for sharing.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Love this episode...

    Did anyone happen to google Luke 3:16

    ??

    ReplyDelete
  34. Very cool episode, but, as already stated, so many questions.

    Or should I say so many potential "how'd they come to be on the flight" flashbacks? Seems like old times! :D

    ReplyDelete
  35. Thanks for the pictures, Jorge. What a job you have!! You were my favorite actor, by far, last night. That episode was awesome, but left me with lots of questions, which I posted on my blog, of course! http://thevioletfig.com/?p=537#content

    ReplyDelete
  36. Boy!!!
    You can keep a secret well!!!
    Love the photo's!!!

    Loved last night's ep...

    Can't get enough of it!!!


    ***yaaaaay! and i finally am allowed to tell peeps that i'm an ajira passenger too!

    phew! holding secrets is tough.


    Yay!!!!!!!
    Glad you were finally able to spill.LOL!!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Jorge! Thanks for sharing the pics! Another amazing episode in what is the undoubtedly the best episode since Season 1..... Love your character and it was awesome to see Hurley again!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  38. As soon as I saw you in the water last night, I knew it was the day you had to "start wet". It was great fun to watch, so thanks for getting soggy for us.

    ReplyDelete
  39. You are too cute! Even double headed!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Great job, Jorge! I hope the water wasn't too cold! Thanks for always giving us a great character in Hurley--he's one of my favorite on the show!

    ReplyDelete
  41. My kids think it's silly when I blog. But when I pointed to the t.v. and said, look, there's the guy who blogs too, they thought I was cool. Thanks for helping with the cool factor, dude.

    ReplyDelete
  42. A whole day in the water? Did you get all pruny?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Soooo happy to see you back in 316 - though not quite enough of Hurley to suit my tastes. Thanks for sharing the pictures - I loooove the behind the scenes stuff!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Nice Photos! Jorge + Hurley + Lost = success... Beijossssssssssssssssssssssssssss =)

    ReplyDelete
  45. Loved the pics and loved the episode!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. oh yuck - a day in the water...and in jeans and clothes...you must have been a soggy mess. Totally saw the episode last night. Darn this show, just wont let me go...I can't stand waiting a week in between shows....

    ReplyDelete
  47. You know, I was going to ask if thats what you were filming when you posted about that. I really enjoyed last night. Awesome job and Hurley was so sweet to buy all those seats to be protective. YAY Hurley!

    ReplyDelete
  48. i went to that waterfall a few years back and they told us the water was NOT clean. that you should not go in with open sores or get any in your mouth. they said something about parasites. seriously.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Boy, a week never seemed so long before LOST! Last nights 316 was great. And I sure admire all of you actors hanging out there in all those tangly plants and lying down in the mud and water. All I'd be thinking about is creepy bugs and snakes and fish nibbling my toes...

    ReplyDelete
  50. Last nights episode both made me go WTF? and Whoa! all before the first commercial. This is why I love Lost. Great show last night and I'm so excited that I found your blog! I'm anxiously awaiting the next couple of episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I loved last night's episode! When I saw you in the water I thought about your 'starting wet' entry. I loved it when the pilot said, "We're not going to Guam are we?" Great episode!! Can't wait to see what happens next.

    ReplyDelete
  52. yeah, ralph. that's totally true. all the waterfalls here have signs up warning people about leptospirosis.

    when he told me that he'd accidentally swallowed a lot of water that day i honestly thought that he'd be having the shit of life all night from his intestines being infected with some bug. like being on vacation in columbia!

    wait, we've never been to columbia.

    ReplyDelete
  53. OH NO i haven't watched "316" yet! i'm from brasil. love your blog!
    hugs

    ReplyDelete
  54. Last night rocked. So many "WOW" moments. I bet that water was not heated (am I right?)...
    And typically Ben when he was asked about the other passengers "Who Cares".
    And mahalo for your great blog about LOST and your life in paradise.

  55. Here in Florida, you have to be careful in fresh water (there have been amoeba related deaths mostly over the summers).

    Then of course, in this particular county in Florida, in our salt water,we are the shark bite capital!

    A heavily chlorinated pool is the safe way to go!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Hi Jorge, I have one question: Why is Hurley not able to swim?
    When I am not totally wrong he made this cannon ball once and how did he came back to shore or who came to rescue him? Vincent the dog?
    Seems here is a light contradiction?!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Beth, where were you on the plane? It all went by so quickly that I did not see you. I will have to watch it again to find you.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Your second head will make you a shoo-in should you ever audition for the role of Zaphod Beeblebrox.

    You'll need to work on a third arm though.

    Thanks for sharing the pix, and glad to hear you didn't contract Florchititis from the water.

    ReplyDelete
  59. The episode last night was amazing, probably my favorite of the season so far. I'm excited to see where they take things! Great job!

    ReplyDelete
  60. Were you all raisiny? Did you put on white gloves, '80's sunglasses and start singing "oooh...bet you wonder how I knew..."

    ReplyDelete
  61. 316 was really cool! i got a chuckle when jack asked eloise if ben was telling the truth and she said "probably not". nice. love your blog man :o)

    ReplyDelete
  62. i'm shivering just thinking about you having to spend an entire day shooting in water. BRRRRRRRR

    ReplyDelete
  63. JORGE.....just caught "316" this morning. Best. Episode. Yet. This. Season. I don't envy you having been in the water all day, but OMG, so worth it from this end of things. And Beth, how lucky were you? Fun...

    ReplyDelete
  64. Jorge,

    More power to you! I finally get to watch that episode today - thanks to the miracle of the internet.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Spending the day swimming around and getting paid for it doesn't sound all that bad to me. Then again, you were in all your clothes, so that part might of been icky. But the episode was great, so I'd say, thanks for sucking it up for us! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  66. Actually for some of us "316" hasn't aired, yet. Still I forgive you :-)

    Thanks for the pics!!

    take care
    peace and love
    xoxo

    ReplyDelete
  67. ooh, I was reading that post the other day and wondering if you would let us know about stuff like that. I love the behind the scenes pictures. did you really spend all day in the water just for those few minutes?? crazy.

    last nights episode was awesome! I love that Hurley bought up all the empty seats. que cute.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Love the episode last night! Love the blog too. I found you via Cake Wrecks. Love that Beth was on the plane. Just wish I'd saved the episode on the dvr so I could go back and see her. Next time, sneak Nunu on set! :)

    ReplyDelete
  69. Someone directed me to your blog! :) My 11 year old daughter LOVES you to death on Lost! :) Keep up the great work!

    ReplyDelete
  70. I never knew your hair was so long until this episode. I guess the curls make it look shorter!

    ReplyDelete
  71. Urrrrrrgh! I missed it. When I realized what night it was and what time it was, LOST was halfway over. So I figured I can watch it on ABC.com (I hope).

    My 7 year old says, "is that the guy that you write to on the internet?" Goofy kid. I told her that you have one of the blogs that I read and I OCCASIONALLY write a comment. But she thinks I know you personally. Kids are funny!

    ReplyDelete
  72. I love that you were reading Y the last man in the airport, btw. :D

  73. Hi Jorge,

    I made a Lost bento yesterday (found here: http://www.aibento.net/2009/02/help-i-lost-my-bento/) and someone commented pointing me to your blog. Very cool, I'll be back to read whenever you post! :D

    ReplyDelete
  74. Wow, great pictures!!!

    I came across your blog from the Cake Wrecks blog showing the Ace of Cakes LOST cake. I managed to read the whole thing over a few nights. Thanks for blogging!! I really enjoy watching you on LOST, it's mine and my husbands favorite show!

    ReplyDelete
  75. Ah crap! I haven't seen last night's episode (it's DVR'd--I cannot watch without Hubby or I will go insane), but now I know you are in water. Guess if you're going to be submerged for a 15 hour day you might as well be there! Thanks for sharing...

    ReplyDelete
  76. Great pictures! Love the episode last night.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Mr. Garcia. I would just love to sit and have lunch with you or something. You seem like such a witty guy. You and my fiance could just trade witty comments the whole time and keep Ms Bethany and me in stitches.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Very cool pics! For some reason I can't see the two-headed one. Bummer.

    Loved last night's episode. My co-workers and I are still discussing and pondering. :)

    ReplyDelete
  79. Not enough superlatives to describe the season so far--and it was so good to see you on that ep, Jorge!

    Not to mention, I'm enjoying a little mini-celebrity status of my own among my "Lost"-loving friends, since you commented on my blog! :)

  81. Thank you for sharing the photos! Was this scene shot at Waimea Falls Park? Just curious - it looks familiar to me (I was born and raised on Oahu and moved to the mainland 5 years ago).

    Keep up the great work!

    ReplyDelete
  82. As I was watching last night couldn't help to remember that you weren't wearing any underwear and were impatiently waiting to put a dry pair on!

  83. hi jorge!
    so i thought i should let you know that today in my history class, my history teacher started talking about two philosophers named John Locke and Rousseau!!! i freaked out!

  88. Bethany, are there any screen caps of you?

    ReplyDelete
  89. MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!

    So I just found your blog yesterday, right after i watched the new episode. I hate the waiting a whole week for each one, i watched season 1-4 in a week in a half and then caught up on season 5 online... so having commercials and the waiting is killing me!! great episode though!!!

    ReplyDelete
  90. Great episode last night. The last time I was at the fall, they were really skinny because there was very little rain....It's still a gorgeous place. HUGS!!

  91. I found your blog via CakeWrecks (the blogger ran an article and link to your 100th episode cake), and I love it. In fact, after seeing how much you seem to enjoy cooking, I'd like to interview you (via e-mail if that's best for you) for Fatal Foodies (http://www.fatalfoodies.blogspot.com), a group blog written by writers whose books have something to do with writing. My latest book is Murder Takes the Cake, a cozy mystery with a cake decorating amateur sleuth. If the interview is doable, please let me know at gayle.trent@gmail.com.

    Thanks a million! I'll be happy to send you a copy of Murder Takes the Cake and an MTTC apron. I'm no Duff Goldman, but the apron is nice and the book has garnered some good reviews. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  92. okay this is my new favorite blog! and I have to agree. Clean water, two heads???? HMMMMMM.
    did you end up all "raisiny"?

    ReplyDelete
  93. Kendra, that's so bizarre. My daughter has been talking about the references to Lewis's Prince Caspian, I'll have to email her a link to that verse.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Don't worry about the second head; you won't even notice it once the rash starts to show up.

    Excellent job on 316.

  97. I'm so glad you posted this. I'm such a dork.....when I was watching last night I actually paused the television to ask my husband if he thought this was the day you were talking about when you did the starting wet blog! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  98. I'm another person who came across your blog because of CakeWrecks. I spent Sunday morning reading all of your blog, and I was definitely thinking of your starting wet post last night.

    I love seeing the Oceanic 6 on the island again; that and the eye opening at the beginning of the episode remind me of Season 1, which makes me happy.

    ReplyDelete
  99. I swear that is your voice on the new Raisin Bran commercial. Is it?

    ReplyDelete
  100. I started chuckling when I first saw you in the water in 316. My husband thought I was crazy... till I told him you were freeballing in the water!

    Great blog! You are a big part of why we watch lost and it's fun to read your daily going ons.

  101. We all are so crazy in Latvia about Lost!!!! =) I like every new episode more and more. You are just great!!!!!!

    Did Matthew Fox make that dive himself or was that a double? Very impressive if that was him.

  108. I would say I'm your biggest Hurley fan buuuut that's probably been done before.

    Cool pics.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Ooh bethany! Who were you?? Did we actually see you?

    ReplyDelete
  114. Okay, behind-the-scenes curiosity time. What was really in that guitar case during the water shoot? Foam blocks? Ping pong balls? Balloons? It sure wasn't bricks. :)

    ReplyDelete
  115. That's Waimea Falls right??? Is there some kind of secret driveway to get there, or did you have to haul the gear down that loooong path and have to worry about getting attacked by the peacocks?

    ReplyDelete
  116. HEY man great show 316. you were cool. hey do you ever reply to your blog here? keep up th good work dude.p.s water wings work for me,hehe.

    ReplyDelete
  117. Hey Hurley! It's so much fun to read your blog. Me and my husband live on Kauai and he ran into you at Colenti's pizza next to Borders. That place is closed now. :( Anyway, if you come to Kauai again, you've got a place to stay and cool people to hang out with! :) Drop us a line.

  118. Thanks for almost drowning so we could have an awesome hour of TV. It was a great episode! :)

    ReplyDelete
  119. Love the pics! And loved the ep! Totally wanted to hug you when Hurley bought all the remaining seats.

    ReplyDelete
  120. I just liked that you were reading Y The Last Man in the airport scene.

    My pal drew it!

  121. YAY! I was actually right lol I thought I spotted Bethany as a passenger at the security bit. hehe

    ReplyDelete
  122. Nice to see such dedication just, essentially, for the pleasure of the fans.

    ReplyDelete
  123. I agree, two heads are better than one! Great episode, loved it. Was the water warm at least?

    ReplyDelete
  124. I love this scene...its soo great that the writers remind us about how this show started..I love the eye shot and how its so close to the one of the shots in the pilot....my friends have told me to start up a blog with my thoughts on the show and I finally broke down and did it...try to check it out when you can...of course I just started so I dont have much of anything yet but I will soon!

  126. I thought of you while watching this episode...thinking - oh yes - he must have started sans underwear - did all the actors? I will keep this tip in mind - such as when I visit a water park.... start sans panties!

    ReplyDelete
  127. Was one of the heads a double, or trick photography? If a double, which one was you?

    I saw Damon when he was in plays at Teaneck HS. I asked him about a decade ago why he didn't become a performer. He said nothing, so I added my own conclusion, "Because it's a lousy job, right?" He seemed to smile but said nothing.

    ReplyDelete
  128. Was this at Waimea? I was just there last week, and am comparing my photos of the falls to yours. I didn't get in the water though.
