So close. And yet so far.

And here I was all proud to have caught up on my fan mail.
When I discovered a familiar looking bag sitting on a chair.
Damn.

Back to work.

    I sent you a letter last year and you answered it. I like the way you listen to your fans. LOST has been a great experience to you (I hope) and it is a great show to us. We fans will miss it when it wraps up this year. Mahalo to you (as they say in Hawaii).

    When you stop receiving fan mail, is the time to worry. Thanks for the blog and being "real".

    jorge, awesome jorge.
    i would like a blog that says
    a) your funniest piece of fan mail
    b) your freakiest piece of fan mail
    and
    c) your favorite piece of fan mail.

    i think it would make a great blog. :)

    I agree with Marla, tell us something about funny fan mail :D

    (i will write something to you.. i wanted to invite you to my degree party, but it is in Italy and you are busy with all that LOST stuff..)

    I won't add to your pile of fan mail, it seems like you have enough of it to keep you more than busy, so I figured I'd post a few things here, just so you know:

    (1) Your character on Lost is one of my favorites, and I love that Hurley isn't a "typical" hero. You play him well.

    (2) It is refreshing to find out on your blog that you're actually intelligent, interesting, nice, and funny in real life -- not just when writers put words in your mouth to say on screen. It's great when good people become successful.

    (3) I feel bad for celebrities who lose a lot of their private, personal lives because of their jobs (the media has gone way too far), but I also get annoyed at celebrities who don't acknowledge that their success is somewhat dependent on people being interested in them. You seem able to strike a balance between enjoying your life like a normal person, while still making your fans feel appreciated and involved.

    Best of luck in the rest of Lost and your career afterwards.

    I really appreciate your diligence. You sent my wife a signed photo for my 40th birthday in January - my friends are so jealous! Love your work Jorge - hope you find the last season of LOST as rewarding as any of the past 5 - here looking forward to your "DUDES" in 2010

    I've never written a fan letter to anyone (no offense), but I am a fan and as a fan, even though I don't write letters, I certainly appreciate that you are so very attentive towards yours. Thanks for that.

    Seriously? It is nice that you even try! I am glad you feel compelled to keep up with it, it shows you are a good man. Does anyone else keep up with theirs? I never thought stars/people on TV would write back.

  21. ClareAugust 25, 2009 at 1:09 PM

    Do you really reply to all your fan mail? I mean personally? If so that's very cool. I remember writing to Kylie Minogue when I was 10 and all I got back was a letter from one of her 'people' I was sooo disappointed!

    I hope you realize how much it means to fans that you care enough to read their mail and even sign things and send them back. It means so much. I understand you and Michael are the best about doing so. Your fans will stick with you wherever you go whatever you do.

    God bless,

    Jorge, I got my autograph from you and want to thank you so much for taking the time to do this for your fans. Sorry, I had two stamps on it and looks like you had to add a 17 cent one. I am sorry, but appreciate it as I didn't know it wasn't enough. Thanks again and you are the best. Love the photo.
