Hey man, thanks for a wonderful six years! It was a pleasure to watch everyones characters develop over the years and the ending tied it all together perfectly!
Awesome man. Truly awesome. Woke up with bloodshot eyes from tears and laughter after watching the final episode last night. What a ride. I only by chance found this blog today, and simply had to say thank you for the fantastic portrayal of Hurley. I'm gonna miss that dude. :)
I hope you will continue to blog. It helps us LOST fans dealing with withdrawals from the show. Incredible performance throughout the entire series. I look forward to seeing what happens with you and the rest of the cast in the future, though you will always be remembered as "Hurley" in my mind.
In Japan and waiting until August for those last three episodes of "Lost" (Hulu doesn't work here). Thanks again for all your hard work and not spoilering even though I couldn't help but check out what was new on your blog. Hope to see you on the television (or movie) screen again soon!
Amazing finale last night! It was nothing short of perfect. Thanks for 6 great years Jorge! I will miss LOST, but like everything in life, there's a time to move on, and I guess now is that time. Here's a link to an OCEANIC 815 Playlist I compiled. Check it out if you've got the time. Cheers,
So sad. That it is over, that is. I will miss seeing you and the rest of the Oceanic survivors every week. I feel a little lost, myself. Deep ending, if people choose to delve into it. I was disappointed but I can't tell if it is because I'm sad that it's all ending. Death of anything is never "happy". Sure hope to see you moving on to something new... and I hope this blog continues. Have a great day!
You have consistently been my favorite part of LOST over the years. And reading your blog has been a real pleasure. You are this cool famous dude from LOST, yet you manage to be so down to Earth and laid back about the whole thing. I hope, really, really hope that you will be back on the TV in another great show really soon. In the meantime, just enjoy being awesome! Thanks for the memories. Adam
Thanks for the memories, Jorge. I really enjoyed the final episode, and will miss all the characters that have entertained me for the last six seasons! Good luck in your future endeavors-
Jorge, I really hope we see you again soon. I am amazed and so happy about Hurley's final fate on LOST. I know that doors are going to open for you, and we'll get to see you very soon.
hey jorge, i just want to say i've been reading your blog for a long time and i've never commented, but that after the finale of my favorite show i wanted to say that it was the most amazing six years of television and that it was cool how important hurley ended up being in the end. thanks for bringing an awesome character to life. :)
I loved the ending! I had told my boyfriend that I thought Hurley should be the island's protector, because Hurley cared about the people and how things are done, not just the "ends justifying the means". I love that not all the loose ends were tied up - I did not want a forensic/scientific analysis as a last episode. The world and time and our place in it isn't completely knowable, so why should the islands' universe be set in stone?
Kudos to you and Michael Emerson especially, but everyone did a fantastic job! I'm still tearing up over the ending and it's place in the whole series. Loved, loved, loved it!
Had no TV last night and had to wait for "Lost" online this morning. I loved the finale (and ABC allowed the last hour to be run without any commercial interruption on the web). I always thought Hugo made the most sense as the Island's protector and was so happy that he was chosen. Hugo's fear and apprehension was so real and yet his compassion in reaching out to Ben to be his valued assistant bore out how correct the choice was.
It was a wonderful (if sometimes maddening journey) and I'm sorry to see it end. (But I predict a Star Trek-like life in other media for years to come.) Thanks to all for the long, strange trip, and thanks, Jorge, for the mensch that Hurley was (is) and this joyful blog.
Hope to see you in more work in this life, brutha.
I know you will be bombarded with comments after last night's finale so I'll TRY to be brief (cause we'd all love to know you read all the comments!).
1. It was P E R F E C T. Like eating the most satisfying Thanksgiving dinner and walking away from the table feeling neither hungry, nor so full you feel like you will bust, but completely, totally, satiated.
2. I really felt you (above all others) showed more depth in your portrayal of the on-island Hurley (more trepidatious, mostly a follower) vs. the off-island Hurley (confident and in control - most notable in "The Substitue").
Thank you again for sharing with us. Can't wait for the podcast!
First of all, I'm really happy. As much as I love Jack as a character, I didn't want him to be the new Jacob, and Hurley being it, was amazing. Best finale of a show ever. I cried, I laughed, I got extremely nervous and in the end I went to bed with a smile. So thank you for 6 years of wonderful episodes and for such a great finale. And also, please! even if you're not in the island anymore, keep writing! we love your blog and your stories and your bread making!
Acabo de ver el ultimo capitulo de lost, y digan lo que digan a mi me ha gustado...Aqui en España todo el mundo habla hoy del tema.Os echaremos de menos, habeis sido un respiro en tiempos extraños. Suerte en todo lo que hagas.
Congratulations Jorge. It was epic and wonderful. I hope to see you on my tv screen again soon. In the meantime, keep blogging dude. I love to read your stuff.
loved it. it was awesome! We'll miss you guys here in the islands. It was exciting to bump in to the occasional cast member...not that I ever had the guts to go up and actually say something! But still, the random sightings...awesome. Well done Hurley, I'm sure he WAS a good #1!
Thank you, Jorge. You are a genuinely great person, great actor, and have filled my life with some of the best television memories that will probably ever grace my brain.
Thank you for six great years.
Good luck with your career, and your life after Lost.
Jorge, thanks for an incredible six years of your life. You/Hurley were my very favorite part of the show. From the first time I saw Hurley on the show, I wondered why he was there when he wasn't someone with a questionable past. Then I just figured comic relief. But to take the numero uno spot, that was rewarding to me as a fan. And I know "you don't writes 'em, you just does 'em". But thanks dude!
OMG, I haven't understood nothing about the finale!! Anyway...you're amazing! Good luck for the future dude..see you in another..movie or tv series! Valentina
Jorge, the finale last night literally moved me to tears--and I consider myself at least somewhat manly, so I think that says something. You guys were wonderful, and I hope to see more of your work soon!
Unbelievably beautiful episode. LOVED IT. You were so wonderful! I will miss you all. Thank you for an excellent six years! I don't regret a single moment that I spent with the Losties.
I stayed up until 6 am watching 2 hour recap, lost finale and of course Kimmel. Totally worth it! Heres my little take on the last 15 minutes if you have the time to read it ;)
i dont think its heaven, or purgatory. they're just the words I'm using because i dunno what else to call em. but that light in the church was the same as the islands, i think they're now part of the island. they're what gives it its power, the people who have died protecting it they just needed to all be together and remember again before they could let go and be absorbed... if you get me? the glowing cave is like a river of souls, holding back the darkness. Think of it as the lifestream in Final Fantasy VII
OMG! i have already seen the last chapter! i don't have words.. =( ..to many problems without answer..but..you all made me cry :( THANK U FOR THIS 6 SEASSONS..Lost best Tv show ever!!!! love you!
I hope that Jimmy didn't spoil my alternate ending!
Scene opens.
Hurley is sleeping in a comfy bed, a fan slowly turning above him. A golf cart creeps across The Island, slowly moving towards Hurley's hut. It stops.
A man with white shoes walks to the door, walks through it, and stands menacingly over Hurley's bed.
He whispers, "Mr. Hurley, it is time. It is THE time."
Hurley awakens, startled. "WHO ARE YOU?!? WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME?!?!"
"Be calm Mr. Hurley, you've just been having a bad dream."
"Yeah, Boss, he ate too many Oceanic candy bars on de plane on the de flight here." Tattoo says as he jumps onto the bedside chair. "That would geev anyone bad dreams!"
Mr. Roarke laughs. Tattoo laughs.
"Mr. Hurley, it is now the time to discuss your fantasy. Your wish."
well you should know, i'm spanish, and my english is poor...
i didn't watch the finale yet, maybe tonight, but anyway.
Thank you, i think this the only chance i have to thank the work you did in the last six years, or five, not sure.
Thank you for, all the moments, the sad, the funny, the bizarre ones, for the what-the- moments, for every moment, and most important, for the hours of entertainment, because i enjoyed your work for letting me feeling like one more "lostie".
"Gracias, muchas gracias, Jorge", in spanish, i hope i'll see you in other t.v. shows, or in cinema, good luck, and take care.
I'm not an overly emotional person. But your scene with Jack at the end to become the protector of the island had me in tears. You were so good! I have really enjoyed your performances. I hope you will continue to blog!
I am going to miss watching you each week. You were my favorite character. Hope you gets lots of other tv jobs so I can keep watching my favorite star.
Jorge, I'm positive you'll be on a new series as soon as you are ready to be! I was really moved during your scene where Jack tells Hurley it has to be him that stays behind to protect the island. Tears were rolling down your face, tears were rolling down my face. And when you said "will you help me, Ben?" - man, what a moment. I'll miss LOST so much.
I LOVED the finale. It was an absolutely perfect way to wrap up the most amazing television series ever made. (Although, I admit to secretly hoping the big 'twist' at the end was that we'd find out that it wasn't really going to end after all.) Still, if it *had* to end, it ended better than I could have imagined.
I will miss it terribly. Great work, Jorge! And thank you for sharing your experience with us through this blog.
Jorge, I hope that we get many more chances to see your onscreen talents! Hurley was hands-down,one of my favorites, and I'm so excited that his final appearance was this awesome combination of tugging at our heartstrings, making us laugh in true Hurley star-wars-reference fashion :),and taking charge to make sure everyone was taken care of again. Going to miss that dude!! Hurley rocks because the guy behind him is one fantastic actor! Best of luck on your next set of adventures!
I have never been so invested in a show in my life as I have been in LOST. I am so sad it's over! Since the minute your character started seeing little Jacob, I was gunning for Hurley to be the candidate the whole time. I am so glad it was you! You totally made me cry last night. I loved seeing the progression of Hurley- you were superb. I hope you find something equally challenging and entertaining for your next gig.Thanks for the blog and the peek into life behind the scenes on the island! Erika
You were awesome. Hurley, crying, broke me up somethin' awful. Thank you for doing your part in bringing six seasons of incredible drama to my TV. The finale was freakin' brilliant. I'm gonna miss the show.
Kinda sad to see Lost end-but I liked the ending. For each of us, heaven is a longing for something. When you lose someone you love, like I lost my little boy, heaven becomes a face that you just have to see again. I have to feel his arms around my neck and smell his air and hug him tight. That's heaven. And for the folks on the island, they each got their "heaven" in that reunion in the church. I don't think there will ever be a show as awesome and moving as LOST.
Oh Jorge. I'm still reeling from last night. LOVED it. The reunion scenes were great. Thanks for an amazing 6 years. Your character never faltered the entire show--hilarious, loving, thoughtful. LOST will be my generation's version of M.A.S.H. or other epic series (although it will retain the distinction of not dying a lame, shark-jumped death!). YEAH!
Kind of thought Hurley was going to end up with the top job. Especially last week when he said, "I'm just glad it's not me..." Foreshadowing, anyone? That was like the gong of portent.
Loved the finale. When Hurley saw Charlie in alt-world, I was grinning right along with him. And I laughed out loud when he tranqued the poor sap.
Wish you could have been at the Kimmel show, Jorge. But it was fun seeing you guys do the Sopranos takeoff. :)
Please keep writing the blog; we're all interested in keeping up with you. We're all gonna miss Hugo, but I for one am looking forward to enjoying what you do next.
Thank you for the best televised story of my life. I've been watching the show my entire graduate school career, and it seems oddly fitting that I'm almost done with my PhD now that the show is concluded. THANK YOU!
Jorge, What an amazing night of tv..truly epic. Loved how you set up the ending with your comment to Ben that he was a great number one! I knew then...
Best of luck with your upcoming projects and please keep blogging! I think it's rare that someone so gifted is so accessible and grounded.
Jorge, I'm so glad I found your blog so I could say how great you and the rest of the cast were! I enjoyed every episode of the most unique show. What an awesome finale, Hurley made me cry and laugh. I'm looking forward to your future projects. Take care Dude!
Thanks for sharing bits of your life with us via this blog! I certainly won't stop reading just because Lost has wrapped, and I look forward to seeing whatever new ventures come your way!!!!
Hurley has been one of my favorite characters on tv, and since I've discovered your blog I've become a Jorge fan as well. Your positive and fun attitude shows in your writing and your acting. I wish you the best in your future! Hope to see you again on tv soon!
Since you and Ben are left on the island. Has there ever been any metion of a spinoff with you two and your experiences/trials and secrets that happen before ya'll meet up the the others at the church? That would be sweet!!!!
I just had to say what a perfect finale for the show and some of the finest acting I've seen on television! I've seen a few finales and the LOST one is by far the best!
We'll be following your career-and wish you all the best! Our son looks SO much like you-when I see you it reminds me of him!
Look forward to your new projects! Hugs from a Canadian Fan
I don't own a TV so will watch it on the internet later today. By the way have you worked out a new series 'dancing with the rats'? Oops sorry I'm dyslexic it should have been 'dancing with the stars.' :P
Dude thanks for six great years of Buddhism! I meant dudeism! :-)
Do you think they will do a spinoff with Hugo & Ben? They could call it "LOST: the Island" and it could be about what happens to you & Ben in the years before ya'll meet up with eveyone at the church. That would be sweet!!! I could explain more about the island and the trials/experiences that ya'll will run into.
To me you and Emerson a had the best lines of the entire series last night. You were a great number 2 and You were a great number 1. To me, that shows that the island, Hurley and Ben (at least) lived on for a little while longer.
I will miss you Jorge!!! I really enjoyed the episode last night and found myself crying more than I'd like to admit. However, I have to say, now that I've had some time to reflect and digest it...I love it even more. I feel like so many people were so anxiously waiting to have answers spoon fed to them that they forgot what made them love the show in the first place: It makes you THINK. And talk about it. I have 2 friends that I always talk to the day after a new episode to discuss and I have to say that I am absolutely closer to them than I was before we started our Lost conversations. Thank you for an amazing 6 years!!
I loved the finale Jorge! I will miss LOST , and all the characters i have been a loyal fan since the debut back in 2004 and every week i was glued to the TV,your scenes were always moving, touching and at times funny too, last night the scenes between your character and jack were amazing and so touching, i have my own theories on the ending but i loved every minute and wish you all the best luck in the future. ~Katerina~
Congratulations man for your great job in this awesome show. Bittersweet finale, but, come on it's Lost we're talking about.;) We'll miss you and Hurley, the rest of the cast, Beth and Jorge funny madness, and so on...
Frankly, I hope to see you next fall in another show.
Go forth young man and become stellar. You deserve it . . you are helluva lovable person with an enchanting down to earth personality and a galaxy of talents.
Thank you to you, the cast and the writers for taking us on this incredible ride for the last six years. All day I've been fighting tears each time I think about the show last night. I hope you know how much it meant to some of us. And will continue to, I'm sure.
cJorge....What an amazing show and last night was so emotional. Thanks to you and the rest of the cast for six great years. I am so sad that I won't have new episodes of Lost to bond with my friends and family about and I know it will never be replaced. I loved your Variety article and think it's one of the reasons I love this show - the cast is so great and seemed like a family itself. Best wishes to you as you head out on your new adventure. I too hope you keep blogging.
Thanks again to you and the cast of Lost - the performances last night by all were AWESOME!!!
Love you so much, Jorge. I was so happy to see Hurley become the #1. "Do what you do best. Take care of people," got the biggest smile on my face. Hurley has been a favorite of mine from day one (well, tied with Charlie, those two kinda went hand in hand for awhile), and I was so happy to see it end with him being so major, instead of just being the comic relief. You looked so adorable and happy in the retrospective too, and I loved the scene of you walking out of the church and asking Ben to come on in, and saying how great of a number two he'd been.
Thank you for my favorite thing of the past six years. I want to see you again soon.
Hurley was my favorite character on LOST from Day 1. Totally easy to understand what Libby saw in Hurley.
And I hope it does not sound creepy, but as I read more about you from your blog, listened to the Podcasts you did with your girlfriend, and watched your live appearances, I really became a fan of Jorge--not just Hurley.
I have commented to my boyfriend that it is going to be strange if you ever play a bad guy in a movie or show, though I am sure you are such a good actor the bad guy will be entirely believable!
Are you anything like Hurley in real life? I'm sure you aren't a lottery winner with a numbers fixation, but Hurley's desire to make others happy seems to mesh with the way you come across on your blog and elsewhere.
Anyway, I really hope you line something else up soon because you are a very enjoyable and talented performer (and a good singer!). Good luck to you and your girlfriend, and I hope we all get to see you soon! Please keep updating your blog so we know what you are up to.
I just watched the final episode of Lost. I am thrilled and really touched. Beautiful story. You were my favourite character of this series :) I love your dude! Hope to see you soon in another great series :D greetings from Poland :*
My dear Jorge ... The finale of Lost was beautiful! Emocionte with faith, hope, new beginning, love, sincerity, friendship, Sensitivit. The hugo was: cute, naive and friend. Please leave a post near the address of your Twitter, Myspace and Facebook ... I did not think! Congratulations for working on Lost, is now eternal in the hearts of all fans. God bless
"DUDEEEEEEE" You (Hurley) will be missed sooooooooooooooooooooooo much. Lost had been part of our lives, we all were emotionally attached to the characters. m really deperessed that it had to end.
All the best to you Jorge nd the rest of the cast. May Lord bless you all with further success in your career.
With love, from your fan all the way from Pakistan.
Just read the *Thanks for Watching* and want you to know that there is no thanks needed. LOST has brought me so many fun experiences; I don't know if the actors in the show will ever understand how much they touched their audience. I found myself thinking about how my life has changed in these past 6 years, something I have never done at the end of any other show, and I realized it was because your show became an important part of my life. Important enough to cause retrospect and introspect. So thank you-thank all of you. I will miss the show greatly and wish you all only the best.
Mahalo to all of you for such a wonderful show! Lost=Best TV Show Ever! I loved "The End" but hated that it had to end. I moved from Oahu (worked at Kailua Intermediate) Summer 2004. So, Lost became a reminder of 'home' for me as the show started to air just after I moved away. I'll miss the show and my Lost Family as I miss my home.
It was a LOST extravaganza at our house last night with the recap show, finale, and then Jimmy Kimmel. I haven't cried so hard in years. Thank you for helping to bring adventure, food for thought, and a myriad emotions into our house via LOST. And while I am so sad the show has ended, I will be looking forward to seeing you in the future! :-)
So happy to have had the pleasure of watching you on LOST all these years. Your character was always my favorite. I wish you all the best and hope to see you on something else soon!
Loved the finale. Loved the show. I hope you'll keep blogging even though you're not on the island anymore. Thanks for such a great show--good luck in all of your future jobs.
I thought your performance on the finale was really fantastic. Your character was always one of my favorites. Best of luck for the future, and hope we see you back on TV soon!
I predict much success for you after this and I look forward to seeing whatever your next project might be. I hope you'll continue posting on a blog and let your readers in on where to find your postings online. I've enjoyed reading about your exploits in real life as much as I've enjoyed watching Hurley on Lost! :) Best of luck to you in your future endeavors!
The finale was awesome though I wish that more island issues were addressed. It was a pleasure to invite you and the other LOST characters into my living room every week. I grew to love you all, but most especially Hurley. Congratulations to you on a great run and I can't wait to see you in your new endeavors. I hope you keep a blog going so we know where to look for you! with love, a Staten Island fan
Thank you Jorge for being such a magnanimous, generous friend of the fans of this amazing show. You are a great actor who has really grown over these 6 years. It will be hard to beat, but I hope that you find something really great to act in again soon.
Just watched the end of the show and it made me so emotional... I loved it. I'll miss all of you. It's the end of something... And I guess it's a big deal for you, I mean you all have lived in Hawaii, I imagine pretty much together or near each other, like a big family (these are my thoughts from what I heard from you all in interviews) and now you have to say goodbye... it's sad. Ok, sorry... I'm beeing a (little) nosey :) I just wanted to tell you that you are great and thank you. Bye
My husband and I are sad that the show is over, but we thoroughly enjoyed the last episode and thought you did an amazing job! Thanks for entertaining us these past several years! God Bless
I'm so happy Hurley was left in charge! I told my husband that I was really hoping it would be you (obviously not YOU you, but you know), and felt a little upset it was Jack.
I'd love to read your thoughts about the ending soon!
You were awesome! You made us cry. You are a very gifted actor.
We loved that Hugo ended up taking care of the island. It made so much sense. My daughter and I agreed -- we'd love to live on an island run by Hugo and Ben. :D
Looking forward to whatever adventures next await you!
Now that you are leaving Hawaii, are you stopping the blog? I see that your cool picture doesn't have comments enabled. You have let us get a glimpse of how you see your world, and we have enjoyed the view. If you *do* stop, know that we wish you the absolute best that life has to offer. I don't know you, but I want to give you a hug.
And PS - I had dreams about LOST last night. I don't remember much but Hurley & Ben were in them so maybe I was playing out their reign of the island in my mind lol.
Ok Jorge., Si tu escribes yo te leo jajaja. ohh myyy I'll miss Hurley Hugo Reyes lol.. but hope to see Jorge Garcia in a great playroll once again . I wish ya luck . and from Mexico City a big hug to you .
Hey Jorge! I'm from Brazil... fist of all, I'll miss Hurley and LOST! it was one of the best shows ever written! congrats!! Now...I have to say I am not sure if what I thnik the meaning of the final episode is..it's right...the part of the other life I think I got it.. even though somethings aren't really clear for me yet. as for "what exactly the island is?"(a place where they went to redeeme theirselves?)i'm not quite sure.. so...could you put on a post explainig a bit of the last episode? I hope to see more of you! Sorry bothering you with this..! we here in brazil Love Lost!!
OH MY GAWSH!!!! You totally got to be Charlie!!!!! You got the twirly flying elevator prize ~slash~ Chocolate Factory:D I knew Hurly would be the one to protect everyone. And I loved your hair this entire episode. Your acting was awesome!!!! And you had ALL the best lines.....It would be hard to make this ending any better, BUUUT if ya'll could go and film an alternate ending a la Grease ("We go together") with Doc and Freckles flying above the island in a plane car. Then I could finally die happy and "Move on". Good luck with your future, and keep supporting that sweet girl of yours in her writing. She is very talented. Can't wait for her book!!!!
Congratulations! That was an awesome finale! I haven't stopped thinking about it since it aired and the more time passes, the happier I am with how it ended. The only thing is, I would have loved to see Hurley in charge of the island! You all should probably make some movies like SATC. Thanks for a great six years!!!
Jorge....I am so happy I got so much done pre-finale, because today I've done nothing but reflect on the show. I can't believe some people are complaining about answers...I've watched since day one and I wasn't worried about getting answers, only about how much I will miss Hurley and LOST. I think the end was perfect and beautiful and I still can't stop thinking about it and how my beloved Hugo ended up reigning supreme :) I believe with all my heart that if another actor (God forbid) had played Hurley all these years...he wouldn't have been as humble, sweet and loveable as you made him...and I feel like in real life you are just like Hurley...well except for the cursed thing ;) I have never met you, but it feels like I just lost a dear friend. ((((BIG HUGS)))) No wonder it was so hard to keep that #1 secret when all the talk show hosts were asking you for hints...you were/are WONDERFUL!!!
More than just being a great character, you are an amazing actor and a hilarious writer. So please, please do much, much more of both! Watched every single episode, dude. Thank YOU for everything.
"I cannot say enough good things about Jorge Garcia in that scene where Jack annoints Hurley. Hurley has believed in Jack as the leader from day one, and at the same time doesn't see himself as anything but the follower and the comic relief. Garcia was fantastic at showing Hurley's distress and disbelief at Jack going on a suicide mission and leaving him with this awesome responsibility."
When i started watching LOST I was 19 years old and was going trough my second year of Bachelor degree. At that point in my life I was a little LOST, I didn't feel like I fit anywhere even tough I had many friends which I adore and I love, I still felt like I was missing something. In that moment of self discovery and awareness I was switching through the channels trying to fill the void of my constant boredom and there was LOST the show that filled me with such intrigue that made me want to know better about the things that were spoken about in the show. It opened me to so many things and authors, and books. It made me explore more genres, and other Tv shows, It made me make connections to other people that also watched the show. at first it felt like a small group of people watched it and only those understood it, in that way, it made me feel "special". ( it is obvious it was a success and many people watched it, it just felt like an insider thing for that Season 1)
That's how LOST made me feel. It was something that made people connect to each other to discuss it, it made us go through self discovery and it made us want to know more about everything(subjects explored on the show, books, etc) just so we could be more involved with the writer's minds.
To me LOST was more than an experience it was a lesson of life, love, companionship, friendship, and how really good storytelling is done.
now, I'm finishing my second year of Law School. After 6 years,soon I'll turn 25, and I've been through so many changes myself as much as the characters on the island, that I feel that I grew with the show. It will always stick with me because LOST was a part of everything that happened to me in 6 years of my life, and those years were important because those were my biggest transition years, LOST was always there to comfort me, to soothe my mind when it was troubled, it was always there for blowing steam, for escaping...it was my constant.
and that's what LOST meant to me. I watch couple of other shows and none of them even compares to what LOST has been. LOST made an impact in my life, helped me grow, and made me appreciate the good things in life.
So, Jorge Garcia, and the people of LOST, I am deeply grateful for these last 6 years, it was a ride. I hope you find other awesome jobs because you are a truly great actor to watch! NAMASTE! :D
you're my favorite character on "lost" and i'm really glad you ended up being protector of the island. i really liked the finale and i hope you act in something awesome again soon!!! -- sujata
Thank you so much, Jorge, for bringing the character of Hurley to us and for sharing your journey via this blog. I think I have only posted once before, but had to come back and say thank you and Goodbye to Hurley. The End was just so emotional and I have watched it twice now... made me cry both times. It definitely makes one think. LOST has been a part of my life since the beginning. An EPIC show that can never be duplicated. Not only did we gain the experience of the SHOW itself, but the community of fans that came together from all over the world in various forums - long lasting friendships! I have to thank you and your fellow actors for bringing such an experience to life, to Damon and Carlton and JJ for the brilliant writing and concept. Truly unique. I will miss LOST... but it has given me much to think about. I wish you good fortune in all that you do from here... and I hope you will keep up your blog. It has been a joy to read.
Bravo on a brilliant finale! I was crying for pretty much the entire 2 1/2 hours lol Your compassion for Jack at the end was moving. Congrats and Namaste Jorge! Love ya!=)
That was a beautiful ending to an extraordinary story. Congratulations on being part of it; you were amazing, and Hurley will live forever. And thanks for being so open and accessible to all of us; it's been so generous and kind of you. Wish you all the best with your own "letting go and moving on" - can't wait to see what you do next...
That was a beautiful ending. I cried my eyes out. Congratulations on creating such a beloved character...Hurley will live on forever. And thanks so much for being so open and accessible to us; you're so generous and kind to do that. Wishing you the best with your own "letting go and moving on". It's so hard for us, I can only imagine how it is for you guys. And I can't wait to see what you do next...
thanks from italy for being part of the best show ever!
if u can answer me, i'd like to know when the authors said to the cast how it's going to end all the show and how you and your colleagues react to such a shock!
I will miss LOST...I loved Hurley, he was one of my favorite characters. I was so sad when Sun and Jin died. My heart was broken. I was crushed to find out all of my friends are dead. Thank you so much for the last 6 years. It has been wonderful. I would have let you all live. You know the happily ever after. I could never have killed everybody in the end. Good luck in the future. I thought you should have been the protector of the island in the end.
Hola Jorge, aun estoy procesando la finale, no sé si me gustaron los últimos minutos o no, pero tengo claro una cosa. Tu escena con Jack en el río justo antes de que él baje fue lo más conmovedor que he visto, casi me haces llorar, estuviste sublime. Eres un gran actor y además un tío muy majo, espero verte pronto en la pantalla. Te deseo la mejor de las suertes. Sorry because this comments is in spanish, I wouldn't know how to express this in english.
Saw the last pic you posted. You're welcome and Thank you. Hurley will always be one of my favorite Lost characters. Hurley was one of my mom's faves too...She passed away in 2007...So the finale was going to be bittersweet for me in more ways than one. I think you're cool, I think you're very funny and multi-talented...I have no doubt we'll see you someplace else, whether it be movies, TV, cyberspace or all three...You can basically write your own ticket.
Don't leave your blog! We love you Jorge! My friends and I love reading about your green thumb & bread making! Your video of Beth and the (b)Rat had us laughing for weeks!
Aww.. don't go away! keep us posted on what you'll be working on next! what bread you made!
OMG! Lost's Finale was AMAZING! Really you can be proud for being a part of that show! I know lots of people are disappointed because there are not many answers...but honestly I'm not! The last 10 minutes were so hard for me! I cried so much, it was hard to watch the screen...! No really, you and all the actors did a WONDERFUL job! I can't believe there won't be any new episodes or whatever Lost stuff, but THANK YOU! I hope to see you soon on the big (or small) screen :) Bye, hugs and kisses from France ♥
Who knows when you'll get another chance to?

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 457 Newer› Newest»Wow, what a fantastic finale. I am still reacting to it this morning (Monday. Congratulations!
Hey man, thanks for a wonderful six years! It was a pleasure to watch everyones characters develop over the years and the ending tied it all together perfectly!
Thank you for a great 6-year run, Jorge!!! Good luck in your future endeavors!
Awesome man. Truly awesome. Woke up with bloodshot eyes from tears and laughter after watching the final episode last night. What a ride. I only by chance found this blog today, and simply had to say thank you for the fantastic portrayal of Hurley. I'm gonna miss that dude. :)

Jorge,
I hope you will continue to blog. It helps us LOST fans dealing with withdrawals from the show. Incredible performance throughout the entire series. I look forward to seeing what happens with you and the rest of the cast in the future, though you will always be remembered as "Hurley" in my mind.
Jorge: Thank you for all these years you were playing Hurley. Thanks you for be with us and give us so many funny times, sad times, amazing times.
To you and all the other actors and actresses, to the crew and all the people that make it possible.
THANK U!
In Japan and waiting until August for those last three episodes of "Lost" (Hulu doesn't work here). Thanks again for all your hard work and not spoilering even though I couldn't help but check out what was new on your blog. Hope to see you on the television (or movie) screen again soon!
Amazing finale last night! It was nothing short of perfect. Thanks for 6 great years Jorge! I will miss LOST, but like everything in life, there's a time to move on, and I guess now is that time. Here's a link to an OCEANIC 815 Playlist I compiled. Check it out if you've got the time. Cheers,
Craig
http://thehitman-cthemusic.blogspot.com/2010/01/lost-oceanic-flight-815-playlist_18.html
So sad. That it is over, that is. I will miss seeing you and the rest of the Oceanic survivors every week. I feel a little lost, myself. Deep ending, if people choose to delve into it. I was disappointed but I can't tell if it is because I'm sad that it's all ending. Death of anything is never "happy". Sure hope to see you moving on to something new... and I hope this blog continues. Have a great day!
You have consistently been my favorite part of LOST over the years. And reading your blog has been a real pleasure. You are this cool famous dude from LOST, yet you manage to be so down to Earth and laid back about the whole thing. I hope, really, really hope that you will be back on the TV in another great show really soon. In the meantime, just enjoy being awesome! Thanks for the memories. Adam
Thanks for the memories, Jorge. I really enjoyed the final episode, and will miss all the characters that have entertained me for the last six seasons! Good luck in your future endeavors-
JNG
Amazing. Just amazing.
Totally called you taking over the island after you said, "I am just glad it isn't me."
I am going to miss the show so much but look forward to seeing what you do next in your career!
Yay! =)
Jorge, I really hope we see you again soon. I am amazed and so happy about Hurley's final fate on LOST. I know that doors are going to open for you, and we'll get to see you very soon.
hey jorge, i just want to say i've been reading your blog for a long time and i've never commented, but that after the finale of my favorite show i wanted to say that it was the most amazing six years of television and that it was cool how important hurley ended up being in the end. thanks for bringing an awesome character to life. :)
Way to go on the Island Protector job. You'll always be a great #1 in our hearts. :)
Way to go on the Island Protector job. You'll always be a great #1 in our hearts. :)
Great job on the finale! Loved it :)
I loved the ending! I had told my boyfriend that I thought Hurley should be the island's protector, because Hurley cared about the people and how things are done, not just the "ends justifying the means". I love that not all the loose ends were tied up - I did not want a forensic/scientific analysis as a last episode. The world and time and our place in it isn't completely knowable, so why should the islands' universe be set in stone?
Kudos to you and Michael Emerson especially, but everyone did a fantastic job! I'm still tearing up over the ending and it's place in the whole series. Loved, loved, loved it!
Had no TV last night and had to wait for "Lost" online this morning. I loved the finale (and ABC allowed the last hour to be run without any commercial interruption on the web). I always thought Hugo made the most sense as the Island's protector and was so happy that he was chosen. Hugo's fear and apprehension was so real and yet his compassion in reaching out to Ben to be his valued assistant bore out how correct the choice was.
It was a wonderful (if sometimes maddening journey) and I'm sorry to see it end. (But I predict a Star Trek-like life in other media for years to come.) Thanks to all for the long, strange trip, and thanks, Jorge, for the mensch that Hurley was (is) and this joyful blog.
Hope to see you in more work in this life, brutha.
It. Was. Fabulous. I'm so sad that it's over though.
I know you will be bombarded with comments after last night's finale so I'll TRY to be brief (cause we'd all love to know you read all the comments!).
1. It was P E R F E C T. Like eating the most satisfying Thanksgiving dinner and walking away from the table feeling neither hungry, nor so full you feel like you will bust, but completely, totally, satiated.
2. I really felt you (above all others) showed more depth in your portrayal of the on-island Hurley (more trepidatious, mostly a follower) vs. the off-island Hurley (confident and in control - most notable in "The Substitue").
Thank you again for sharing with us. Can't wait for the podcast!
Dude you look really sad ! Stay positive man !
Dude. I had a hard time sleeping last night after the finale. I can't imagine how you feel. What a ride.
First of all, I'm really happy. As much as I love Jack as a character, I didn't want him to be the new Jacob, and Hurley being it, was amazing. Best finale of a show ever. I cried, I laughed, I got extremely nervous and in the end I went to bed with a smile. So thank you for 6 years of wonderful episodes and for such a great finale. And also, please! even if you're not in the island anymore, keep writing! we love your blog and your stories and your bread making!
You make us smile
Acabo de ver el ultimo capitulo de lost, y digan lo que digan a mi me ha gustado...Aqui en España todo el mundo habla hoy del tema.Os echaremos de menos, habeis sido un respiro en tiempos extraños.
Suerte en todo lo que hagas.
Congratulations Jorge. It was epic and wonderful. I hope to see you on my tv screen again soon. In the meantime, keep blogging dude. I love to read your stuff.
loved it. it was awesome! We'll miss you guys here in the islands. It was exciting to bump in to the occasional cast member...not that I ever had the guts to go up and actually say something! But still, the random sightings...awesome. Well done Hurley, I'm sure he WAS a good #1!
Thank you, Jorge. You are a genuinely great person, great actor, and have filled my life with some of the best television memories that will probably ever grace my brain.
Thank you for six great years.
Good luck with your career, and your life after Lost.
We love you!
-Jesse Bonales
so proud of you Jorge and your accomplishments on six great seasons of LOST. Thanks for making it a great show.
Jorge, thanks for an incredible six years of your life. You/Hurley were my very favorite part of the show. From the first time I saw Hurley on the show, I wondered why he was there when he wasn't someone with a questionable past. Then I just figured comic relief. But to take the numero uno spot, that was rewarding to me as a fan. And I know "you don't writes 'em, you just does 'em". But thanks dude!
OMG, I haven't understood nothing about the finale!! Anyway...you're amazing! Good luck for the future dude..see you in another..movie or tv series!
Valentina
Hurley! last night was a beautiful ending. It was perfect. Congrats to you on being the new keeper of the island ;) xoxo,Ellen
Thanks for being such a great part of such a great show. I'm sure you were an awesome #1.
Jorge, the finale last night literally moved me to tears--and I consider myself at least somewhat manly, so I think that says something. You guys were wonderful, and I hope to see more of your work soon!
Thank you, and good bye!
awesome finale! Thanks so much for six great seasons..it's been a blast..I'm missing you guys already...tiny tear
Unbelievably beautiful episode. LOVED IT. You were so wonderful! I will miss you all. Thank you for an excellent six years! I don't regret a single moment that I spent with the Losties.
The finale was incredible. It left me happy and sad all at once. Loved it!
You were awesome as usual. Hope you keep the blog going.
i missed it what happened?
I always knew it would be you.
Will you have a new blog?
Hurley & Ben = new ABC sitcome called "On The Island"
You are a great number one...
Such a great end to a great show. Congrats on being the island keeper - I knew it was going to be you!
I stayed up until 6 am watching 2 hour recap, lost finale and of course Kimmel. Totally worth it! Heres my little take on the last 15 minutes if you have the time to read it ;)
i dont think its heaven, or purgatory. they're just the words I'm using because i dunno what else to call em. but that light in the church was the same as the islands, i think they're now part of the island.
they're what gives it its power, the people who have died protecting it
they just needed to all be together and remember again before they could let go and be absorbed... if you get me? the glowing cave is like a river of souls, holding back the darkness. Think of it as the lifestream in Final Fantasy VII
Just want to give you a big THANK YOU. Man, I wish I could see "LOST 2: The Hurley and Ben Years." :)
LOVED the show last night...very fitting ending to a wonderful series :)
OMG! i have already seen the last chapter! i don't have words.. =(
..to many problems without answer..but..you all made me cry :(
THANK U FOR THIS 6 SEASSONS..Lost best Tv show ever!!!!
love you!
I hope that Jimmy didn't spoil my alternate ending!
Scene opens.
Hurley is sleeping in a comfy bed, a fan slowly turning above him. A golf cart creeps across The Island, slowly moving towards Hurley's hut. It stops.
A man with white shoes walks to the door, walks through it, and stands menacingly over Hurley's bed.
He whispers, "Mr. Hurley, it is time. It is THE time."
Hurley awakens, startled. "WHO ARE YOU?!? WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME?!?!"
"Be calm Mr. Hurley, you've just been having a bad dream."
"Yeah, Boss, he ate too many Oceanic candy bars on de plane on the de flight here." Tattoo says as he jumps onto the bedside chair. "That would geev anyone bad dreams!"
Mr. Roarke laughs. Tattoo laughs.
"Mr. Hurley, it is now the time to discuss your fantasy. Your wish."
"And by the way, WELCOME TO FANTASY ISLAND."
End of series.
Thanks for the memories, Jorge!
Going to miss you so much on Lost... Can't wait to see what you're up to next.
well you should know, i'm spanish, and my english is poor...
i didn't watch the finale yet, maybe tonight, but anyway.
Thank you, i think this the only chance i have to thank the work you did in the last six years, or five, not sure.
Thank you for, all the moments, the sad, the funny, the bizarre ones, for the what-the- moments, for every moment, and most important, for the hours of entertainment, because i enjoyed your work for letting me feeling like one more "lostie".
"Gracias, muchas gracias, Jorge", in spanish, i hope i'll see you in other t.v. shows, or in cinema, good luck, and take care.
- another fan
Ok...I just have to say...
I'm not an overly emotional person. But your scene with Jack at the end to become the protector of the island had me in tears. You were so good! I have really enjoyed your performances. I hope you will continue to blog!
you were wonderful - finale was amazing. i am excited to see what you do next.
it was nice that the show allowed you to show more than one side - you shouldn't be too pigeon-holed character wise...
I will. But I'm confident we'll see you again. Maybe a spin-off with Michael Emerson called "Our Own Rules"? :)
No matter what your next work is, I look forward to it & wish you all the best.
thank you.
I am going to miss watching you each week. You were my favorite character. Hope you gets lots of other tv jobs so I can keep watching my favorite star.
I hope to won't be too long before we see you again! I am about to settle down for the final episode now. I actually have butterflies in my stomach!!
Just ended, and I already miss it! By the way, love the conclusion!!!
Congrats to every one involved in Lost!
I hope you're still going to keep blogging now that the show is over. It's super funny and entertaining!
Loved the ending!!! Despite not getting the answers to the gazilion questions I have, I thought it was EPIC and so well done!
Thank you for a FANTASTIC 6 years!! (Loved you & the cast on JKL!!)
So I watched the finale last night and I have to say that I am so sad today!! I absolutely loved the show! Absolutely the best!
PS- I'm so happy that your character got to stand up and be the protector of the island in the end.
Aww Jorge - I am going to miss you so much! Hurry up and get a new gig so I can keep seeing you!
Last night was awesome! Best of luck with everything that comes your way. Wherever the adventure takes you, we'll be cheering you on!
~Lauren
Jorge, I'm positive you'll be on a new series as soon as you are ready to be! I was really moved during your scene where Jack tells Hurley it has to be him that stays behind to protect the island. Tears were rolling down your face, tears were rolling down my face. And when you said "will you help me, Ben?" - man, what a moment. I'll miss LOST so much.
dude, the series finale was epic. it was bittersweet, but you were pitch perfect.
I LOVED the finale. It was an absolutely perfect way to wrap up the most amazing television series ever made. (Although, I admit to secretly hoping the big 'twist' at the end was that we'd find out that it wasn't really going to end after all.) Still, if it *had* to end, it ended better than I could have imagined.
I will miss it terribly. Great work, Jorge! And thank you for sharing your experience with us through this blog.
Jorge, I was so very moved by your performance in the finale. You nailed your scenes. You made me FEEL it. Thank you.
Jorge, I hope that we get many more chances to see your onscreen talents! Hurley was hands-down,one of my favorites, and I'm so excited that his final appearance was this awesome combination of tugging at our heartstrings, making us laugh in true Hurley star-wars-reference fashion :),and taking charge to make sure everyone was taken care of again. Going to miss that dude!! Hurley rocks because the guy behind him is one fantastic actor! Best of luck on your next set of adventures!
We will all miss you, Jorge.
*Spoilers!*
I liked the fact that Hurley became the protector of the Island in the end, yet I wish we got to see what happened while he was.
I'm annoyed that the origin of the island was never really explained though! I still have questions! Ah, well.
You did a great job in the part of Hurley. Here's hoping you're on TV again soon!
I have never been so invested in a show in my life as I have been in LOST. I am so sad it's over! Since the minute your character started seeing little Jacob, I was gunning for Hurley to be the candidate the whole time. I am so glad it was you! You totally made me cry last night. I loved seeing the progression of Hurley- you were superb. I hope you find something equally challenging and entertaining for your next gig.Thanks for the blog and the peek into life behind the scenes on the island!
Erika
A truly beautiful episode. It had me in tears multiple times.
I hope to see you on my TV again soon. Excellent work, sir.
LOVED the show last night!! Hope to see you in something great soon..you deserve it. Keep up the blog!
So sad to see it end. But it was a show for the ages, that's for sure. Thanks.
Thank you, Mr. Garcia, for six amazing years.
You were a great Number One. (Better than Jonathan Frakes, even!)
Best of luck in the future! Look forward to seeing you in your next project.
You were awesome. Hurley, crying, broke me up somethin' awful. Thank you for doing your part in bringing six seasons of incredible drama to my TV. The finale was freakin' brilliant. I'm gonna miss the show.
Kinda sad to see Lost end-but I liked the ending. For each of us, heaven is a longing for something. When you lose someone you love, like I lost my little boy, heaven becomes a face that you just have to see again. I have to feel his arms around my neck and smell his air and hug him tight. That's heaven. And for the folks on the island, they each got their "heaven" in that reunion in the church. I don't think there will ever be a show as awesome and moving as LOST.
Oh Jorge. I'm still reeling from last night. LOVED it. The reunion scenes were great. Thanks for an amazing 6 years. Your character never faltered the entire show--hilarious, loving, thoughtful. LOST will be my generation's version of M.A.S.H. or other epic series (although it will retain the distinction of not dying a lame, shark-jumped death!). YEAH!
Kind of thought Hurley was going to end up with the top job. Especially last week when he said, "I'm just glad it's not me..." Foreshadowing, anyone? That was like the gong of portent.
Loved the finale. When Hurley saw Charlie in alt-world, I was grinning right along with him. And I laughed out loud when he tranqued the poor sap.
Wish you could have been at the Kimmel show, Jorge. But it was fun seeing you guys do the Sopranos takeoff. :)
Please keep writing the blog; we're all interested in keeping up with you. We're all gonna miss Hugo, but I for one am looking forward to enjoying what you do next.
Irish
I'm soo glad you ended up as #1, Cause you know "Everyone Loves Hurley" and That's the truth.!!
You were awesome tonight (as always) and its so cool that Hurley was the new protector of the Island, which I know he just rocked.
Thank you for 6 fantastic years of just greatness! I'm going to miss seeing you every week! I hope to see you in something new soon.
So long and thanks for all the fish!
Thank you for the best televised story of my life. I've been watching the show my entire graduate school career, and it seems oddly fitting that I'm almost done with my PhD now that the show is concluded. THANK YOU!
I wanted to personally thank you for making my life a little better through your ability to bring Hurley to life.
Here is hoping that Hurley, Ben, and the other "survivors" get a spin off show!
Jorge, What an amazing night of tv..truly epic. Loved how you set up the ending with your comment to Ben that he was a great number one! I knew then...
Best of luck with your upcoming projects and please keep blogging! I think it's rare that someone so gifted is so accessible and grounded.
Sure will miss Hurley...thanks for the memories!
The show was fantastic, and so were you. I have no doubt that you'll be as busy as you want to now -- everyone has seen your tremendous acting talent!
But I'm still sniffling over last night's show...
Jorge, I'm so glad I found your blog so I could say how great you and the rest of the cast were! I enjoyed every episode of the most unique show. What an awesome finale, Hurley made me cry and laugh. I'm looking forward to your future projects.
Take care Dude!
I hope you continue your blog even though Lost is over!
Job well done! I look forward to your next adventure!
I'll miss you. Thank you for everything. Whatever your future holds, I am sure you will be amazing in it.
You were obviously the chosen one.
I love Lost so much my band recorded a song about it!
www.PunchlineHasASongAboutLost.com
Enjoy! It's for you, Jorge!
Thanks for sharing bits of your life with us via this blog! I certainly won't stop reading just because Lost has wrapped, and I look forward to seeing whatever new ventures come your way!!!!
Great job Jorge. I'm going to miss Hugo but I can't wait to see what's in store for you now. Here's to a new adventure, bless you and all that you do.
Carol
Thanks for spending Tuesday evenings at our house. Your performance in the finale was first class.
Loved your character and enjoy your blog so much.
You seem like you would be an awesome guy to just hang out with.
I hope that you'll continue to post on your blog now that the series has ended. Would miss the light hearted way that you view the world.
Def going to see you again. A fantastic job well done.Not much gets me up at 5am!!!
Going to miss you all xxxx
Dude!!! We'll miss you a lot, but I just know that you'll still be around and I'm going to be sure to check all of your upcoming projects.
Loved the finale, really emotive episode. Actually, I'm still processing the ending, but give me a couple of days to understand everything.
I think that Lost was one of the best series in TV history, and Hurley sure rocked, specially in the finale!
Congratulations!!!!
I knew it would be Hurley... Just saying... I always thought it was supposed to be.
However, you did a wonderful job on the series and I look forward to seeing you in the future. Keep up the Good Work.
Hurley has been one of my favorite characters on tv, and since I've discovered your blog I've become a Jorge fan as well. Your positive and fun attitude shows in your writing and your acting. I wish you the best in your future! Hope to see you again on tv soon!
Since you and Ben are left on the island. Has there ever been any metion of a spinoff with you two and your experiences/trials and secrets that happen before ya'll meet up the the others at the church? That would be sweet!!!!
I just had to say what a perfect finale for the show and some of the finest acting I've seen on television! I've seen a few finales and the LOST one is by far the best!
We'll be following your career-and wish you all the best! Our son looks SO much like you-when I see you it reminds me of him!
Look forward to your new projects! Hugs from a Canadian Fan
Jorge,
I don't own a TV so will watch it on the internet later today. By the way have you worked out a new series 'dancing with the rats'? Oops sorry I'm dyslexic it should have been 'dancing with the stars.' :P
Dude thanks for six great years of Buddhism! I meant dudeism! :-)
Do you think they will do a spinoff with Hugo & Ben? They could call it "LOST: the Island" and it could be about what happens to you & Ben in the years before ya'll meet up with eveyone at the church. That would be sweet!!! I could explain more about the island and the trials/experiences that ya'll will run into.
I will sadly miss Lost!! Loved your character. I look forward to seeing you again on TV and in the movies. Thanks so much!!!
Great episode man. Would like to see the spinoff of your and ben's time on the island.
To me you and Emerson a had the best lines of the entire series last night. You were a great number 2 and You were a great number 1. To me, that shows that the island, Hurley and Ben (at least) lived on for a little while longer.
Amazing Show.
Amazing Ending.
Thanks for it all.

I will miss you Jorge!!! I really enjoyed the episode last night and found myself crying more than I'd like to admit. However, I have to say, now that I've had some time to reflect and digest it...I love it even more. I feel like so many people were so anxiously waiting to have answers spoon fed to them that they forgot what made them love the show in the first place: It makes you THINK. And talk about it. I have 2 friends that I always talk to the day after a new episode to discuss and I have to say that I am absolutely closer to them than I was before we started our Lost conversations. Thank you for an amazing 6 years!!
Jorge, thank you so much for all you have done. You have brightened my life and I will miss seeing you every week. Best to you and Beth!
You are, by far, my favorite. Best of luck in the future and keep us posted on your upcoming projects.
I loved the finale Jorge! I will miss LOST , and all the characters i have been a loyal fan since the debut back in 2004 and every week i was glued to the TV,your scenes were always moving, touching and at times funny too, last night the scenes between your character and jack were amazing and so touching, i have my own theories on the ending but i loved every minute and wish you all the best luck in the future.
~Katerina~
Thank you Jorge for being a part of the most beautiful journey I've ever embarked on.
LOST will never be forgotten. And you.
(Btw, I totally knew you were going to be an important figure in the end since the beginning of LOST)
Much love to you and the cast. I can never thank you enough.
Johanna
Yeah... I really loved the finale! And I knew that Hurley was going to be the "new" "new" Jacob!
Jorge, I will miss you and Hurley so much! The nice thing is that I will see you again soon.
Hurley was a great #1.
Congratulations man for your great job in this awesome show. Bittersweet finale, but, come on it's Lost we're talking about.;)
We'll miss you and Hurley, the rest of the cast, Beth and Jorge funny madness, and so on...
Frankly, I hope to see you next fall in another show.
Sincerely yours from Spain.
Alex.
P.D.: Dude!
Thank you "dude"...
I am so going to miss you. Hurley was absolutely the heart of the show and you played him masterfully. I can't wait to see where you turn up next.
PS - I'd pick MaryAnn just because it was you! :)
With great thanks for a wonderful 6 years,
Amy
Go forth young man and become stellar.
You deserve it . . you are helluva
lovable person with an enchanting
down to earth personality and a galaxy of talents.
Thank you to you, the cast and the writers for taking us on this incredible ride for the last six years. All day I've been fighting tears each time I think about the show last night. I hope you know how much it meant to some of us. And will continue to, I'm sure.
Thanks for the memories Jorge!
cJorge....What an amazing show and last night was so emotional. Thanks to you and the rest of the cast for six great years. I am so sad that I won't have new episodes of Lost to bond with my friends and family about and I know it will never be replaced. I loved your Variety article and think it's one of the reasons I love this show - the cast is so great and seemed like a family itself. Best wishes to you as you head out on your new adventure. I too hope you keep blogging.
Thanks again to you and the cast of Lost - the performances last night by all were AWESOME!!!
As if you had to remind us!
A sincere "thank you" for all the hard work you've put into the show over the years. It's very much appreciated.
Hugs to "Hugo" and Jorge! I will certainly have an empty hole in my life that no other show will fill. Thanks for bringing us some great tv.
Love you so much, Jorge. I was so happy to see Hurley become the #1. "Do what you do best. Take care of people," got the biggest smile on my face. Hurley has been a favorite of mine from day one (well, tied with Charlie, those two kinda went hand in hand for awhile), and I was so happy to see it end with him being so major, instead of just being the comic relief. You looked so adorable and happy in the retrospective too, and I loved the scene of you walking out of the church and asking Ben to come on in, and saying how great of a number two he'd been.
Thank you for my favorite thing of the past six years. I want to see you again soon.
Hurley was my favorite. Thank you.
Hurley was my favorite character on LOST from Day 1. Totally easy to understand what Libby saw in Hurley.
And I hope it does not sound creepy, but as I read more about you from your blog, listened to the Podcasts you did with your girlfriend, and watched your live appearances, I really became a fan of Jorge--not just Hurley.
I have commented to my boyfriend that it is going to be strange if you ever play a bad guy in a movie or show, though I am sure you are such a good actor the bad guy will be entirely believable!
Are you anything like Hurley in real life? I'm sure you aren't a lottery winner with a numbers fixation, but Hurley's desire to make others happy seems to mesh with the way you come across on your blog and elsewhere.
Anyway, I really hope you line something else up soon because you are a very enjoyable and talented performer (and a good singer!). Good luck to you and your girlfriend, and I hope we all get to see you soon! Please keep updating your blog so we know what you are up to.
I just watched the final episode of Lost. I am thrilled and really touched. Beautiful story. You were my favourite character of this series :) I love your dude! Hope to see you soon in another great series :D greetings from Poland :*
My dear Jorge ... The finale of Lost was beautiful! Emocionte with faith, hope, new beginning, love, sincerity, friendship, Sensitivit. The hugo was: cute, naive and friend. Please leave a post near the address of your Twitter, Myspace and Facebook ... I did not think! Congratulations for working on Lost, is now eternal in the hearts of all fans. God bless
"DUDEEEEEEE" You (Hurley) will be missed sooooooooooooooooooooooo much.
Lost had been part of our lives, we all were emotionally attached to the characters. m really deperessed that it had to end.
All the best to you Jorge nd the rest of the cast.
May Lord bless you all with further success in your career.
With love, from your fan all the way from Pakistan.
Cheers ;-)

Just read the *Thanks for Watching* and want you to know that there is no thanks needed. LOST has brought me so many fun experiences; I don't know if the actors in the show will ever understand how much they touched their audience. I found myself thinking about how my life has changed in these past 6 years, something I have never done at the end of any other show, and I realized it was because your show became an important part of my life. Important enough to cause retrospect and introspect. So thank you-thank all of you. I will miss the show greatly and wish you all only the best.
EMMY EMMY EMMY EMMY!!!!!!
Incredible performances..esp your scenes with Jack and Ben. Loved the Yoda line too..
Congratulations to you and the cast/crew on a brilliant piece of work.
Opssssss! Now I understand, you have only the Blog... I will always contact you here Jorge. I love your writing, photos and "Nunu". Kisses ;)
Mahalo to all of you for such a wonderful show! Lost=Best TV Show Ever! I loved "The End" but hated that it had to end. I moved from Oahu (worked at Kailua Intermediate) Summer 2004. So, Lost became a reminder of 'home' for me as the show started to air just after I moved away. I'll miss the show and my Lost Family as I miss my home.
Dude!
--- xo
It was a LOST extravaganza at our house last night with the recap show, finale, and then Jimmy Kimmel. I haven't cried so hard in years.
Thank you for helping to bring adventure, food for thought, and a myriad emotions into our house via LOST. And while I am so sad the show has ended, I will be looking forward to seeing you in the future!
:-)
we will miss u
=\
Graaaaaaaaciaaaaaaaas a vossssssss!!
Desde Argentina, Liliana.
Jorge, thanks for everything! I love lost, and love you on it! I am from Tenerife but I live in Washington DC. I was great to had my island one show!
So happy to have had the pleasure of watching you on LOST all these years. Your character was always my favorite. I wish you all the best and hope to see you on something else soon!
LOST was great a number 1
:~(
so emotional
thanks for the sweet journey
...j
I'll miss you Jorge! You were AMAZING in the finale!!! AMAZING. Can't wait to see what is next for you.
Loved the finale. Loved the show. I hope you'll keep blogging even though you're not on the island anymore. Thanks for such a great show--good luck in all of your future jobs.
I thought your performance on the finale was really fantastic. Your character was always one of my favorites. Best of luck for the future, and hope we see you back on TV soon!
I predict much success for you after this and I look forward to seeing whatever your next project might be. I hope you'll continue posting on a blog and let your readers in on where to find your postings online. I've enjoyed reading about your exploits in real life as much as I've enjoyed watching Hurley on Lost! :) Best of luck to you in your future endeavors!
The finale was awesome though I wish that more island issues were addressed. It was a pleasure to invite you and the other LOST characters into my living room every week. I grew to love you all, but most especially Hurley. Congratulations to you on a great run and I can't wait to see you in your new endeavors. I hope you keep a blog going so we know where to look for you!
with love, a Staten Island fan
Thank you Jorge for being such a magnanimous, generous friend of the fans of this amazing show. You are a great actor who has really grown over these 6 years. It will be hard to beat, but I hope that you find something really great to act in again soon.
Best of luck to you and Sidekick 22!
Frank
Just watched the end of the show and it made me so emotional... I loved it. I'll miss all of you. It's the end of something...
And I guess it's a big deal for you, I mean you all have lived in Hawaii, I imagine pretty much together or near each other, like a big family (these are my thoughts from what I heard from you all in interviews) and now you have to say goodbye... it's sad. Ok, sorry... I'm beeing a (little) nosey :) I just wanted to tell you that you are great and thank you.
Bye
My husband and I are sad that the show is over, but we thoroughly enjoyed the last episode and thought you did an amazing job! Thanks for entertaining us these past several years! God Bless
Crystal <><
I'm so happy Hurley was left in charge! I told my husband that I was really hoping it would be you (obviously not YOU you, but you know), and felt a little upset it was Jack.
I'd love to read your thoughts about the ending soon!
You were awesome! You made us cry. You are a very gifted actor.
We loved that Hugo ended up taking care of the island. It made so much sense. My daughter and I agreed -- we'd love to live on an island run by Hugo and Ben. :D
Looking forward to whatever adventures next await you!
/salute
Now that you are leaving Hawaii, are you stopping the blog? I see that your cool picture doesn't have comments enabled. You have let us get a glimpse of how you see your world, and we have enjoyed the view. If you *do* stop, know that we wish you the absolute best that life has to offer. I don't know you, but I want to give you a hug.
Thanks for your wonderful blog. And also a magnificent job on the show.
I will now stand up and clap.
Clap clap clap clap clap (for a good 5 minutes)
Love loved loved the finale! I loved that Hurley was the new 'Jacob/Jack' and Ben was his #2. Great photo in the post above too.
Were you all surprised by what the sideways flash reality was? Did you have any theories about how the show was going to end?
And PS - I had dreams about LOST last night. I don't remember much but Hurley & Ben were in them so maybe I was playing out their reign of the island in my mind lol.
Holy crap! You're on TV?
Ok Jorge., Si tu escribes yo te leo jajaja. ohh myyy I'll miss Hurley Hugo Reyes lol.. but hope to see Jorge Garcia in a great playroll once again . I wish ya luck . and from Mexico City a big hug to you .
That was a beautiful ending. It wasn't what I expected, but I'm so happy about it, it must have been what I wanted.
Thanks for 6 years and a memorable character. From your first "dude" to the hot pocket to taking over for Jack/Jacob, Hurley will live forever!
What a great show! I'll miss all you guys together....but I'm sure you all will be doing great things in the future. =)
Hey Jorge! I'm from Brazil... fist of all, I'll miss Hurley and LOST! it was one of the best shows ever written! congrats!!
Now...I have to say I am not sure if what I thnik the meaning of the final episode is..it's right...the part of the other life I think I got it.. even though somethings aren't really clear for me yet. as for "what exactly the island is?"(a place where they went to redeeme theirselves?)i'm not quite sure.. so...could you put on a post explainig a bit of the last episode?
I hope to see more of you! Sorry bothering you with this..!
we here in brazil Love Lost!!
Thanks for everything. I am not worried about you, I am sure we will be seeing much more of you. You are just getting started. :)
Thank you and everyone at Lost for a wonderful six years. Nothing on television will completely captivate me like Lost did.
Thank you and everyone involved in the Show. the finale was seriously perfection.
Thank you for six amazing seasons. I loved how it all wrapped up, and especially your character's role (I saw it comin' man, it was perfect!)!
I sure hope you'll continue to share a bit of your off screen life as you move on to your next adventure.
The best of luck and much love to you, Beth and NuNu too!
OH MY GAWSH!!!! You totally got to be Charlie!!!!! You got the twirly flying elevator prize ~slash~ Chocolate Factory:D I knew Hurly would be the one to protect everyone. And I loved your hair this entire episode. Your acting was awesome!!!! And you had ALL the best lines.....It would be hard to make this ending any better, BUUUT if ya'll could go and film an alternate ending a la Grease ("We go together") with Doc and Freckles flying above the island in a plane car. Then I could finally die happy and "Move on". Good luck with your future, and keep supporting that sweet girl of yours in her writing. She is very talented. Can't wait for her book!!!!
Congratulations! That was an awesome finale! I haven't stopped thinking about it since it aired and the more time passes, the happier I am with how it ended. The only thing is, I would have loved to see Hurley in charge of the island! You all should probably make some movies like SATC. Thanks for a great six years!!!
Jorge....I am so happy I got so much done pre-finale, because today I've done nothing but reflect on the show. I can't believe some people are complaining about answers...I've watched since day one and I wasn't worried about getting answers, only about how much I will miss Hurley and LOST. I think the end was perfect and beautiful and I still can't stop thinking about it and how my beloved Hugo ended up reigning supreme :) I believe with all my heart that if another actor (God forbid) had played Hurley all these years...he wouldn't have been as humble, sweet and loveable as you made him...and I feel like in real life you are just like Hurley...well except for the cursed thing ;) I have never met you, but it feels like I just lost a dear friend. ((((BIG HUGS)))) No wonder it was so hard to keep that #1 secret when all the talk show hosts were asking you for hints...you were/are WONDERFUL!!!
This is in response of your "thanks for watching" pic.
Thanks for everything Jorge. Thank you and all the cast and crew. Thanks for Lost.

Desde ahora ya los extrañamos...
Hey Jorge, It looks like you've already got plans post-LOST. http://twitter.com/hesourhurley
More than just being a great character, you are an amazing actor and a hilarious writer. So please, please do much, much more of both! Watched every single episode, dude. Thank YOU for everything.
From reviewer Alan Sepinwall:
"I cannot say enough good things about Jorge Garcia in that scene where Jack annoints Hurley. Hurley has believed in Jack as the leader from day one, and at the same time doesn't see himself as anything but the follower and the comic relief. Garcia was fantastic at showing Hurley's distress and disbelief at Jack going on a suicide mission and leaving him with this awesome responsibility."
Good going, dude.

What LOST meant to me:
When i started watching LOST I was 19 years old and was going trough my second year of Bachelor degree. At that point in my life I was a little LOST, I didn't feel like I fit anywhere even tough I had many friends which I adore and I love, I still felt like I was missing something. In that moment of self discovery and awareness I was switching through the channels trying to fill the void of my constant boredom and there was LOST the show that filled me with such intrigue that made me want to know better about the things that were spoken about in the show. It opened me to so many things and authors, and books. It made me explore more genres, and other Tv shows, It made me make connections to other people that also watched the show. at first it felt like a small group of people watched it and only those understood it, in that way, it made me feel "special". ( it is obvious it was a success and many people watched it, it just felt like an insider thing for that Season 1)
That's how LOST made me feel. It was something that made people connect to each other to discuss it, it made us go through self discovery and it made us want to know more about everything(subjects explored on the show, books, etc) just so we could be more involved with the writer's minds.
To me LOST was more than an experience it was a lesson of life, love, companionship, friendship, and how really good storytelling is done.
now, I'm finishing my second year of Law School. After 6 years,soon I'll turn 25, and I've been through so many changes myself as much as the characters on the island, that I feel that I grew with the show. It will always stick with me because LOST was a part of everything that happened to me in 6 years of my life, and those years were important because those were my biggest transition years, LOST was always there to comfort me, to soothe my mind when it was troubled, it was always there for blowing steam, for escaping...it was my constant.
and that's what LOST meant to me. I watch couple of other shows and none of them even compares to what LOST has been. LOST made an impact in my life, helped me grow, and made me appreciate the good things in life.
So, Jorge Garcia, and the people of LOST, I am deeply grateful for these last 6 years, it was a ride. I hope you find other awesome jobs because you are a truly great actor to watch! NAMASTE! :D
(transmission from Puerto Rico! another island! )
Loved you on LOST, and will miss your big heart and sense of humor. Namaste.
Great great great. I loved it. There were a lot of great characters, but I always enjoyed yours the most :)
I'll miss the show. If there's ever a movie, I'll be seeing it opening night.
Cheers!
I hope this isn't the end of your blog here! I just found it, and have enjoyed reading through it.
Thanks for your work on Lost! Hurley saw me through two pregnancies and 3 years of late-night baby shenanigans!
I owe you for my sanity. ;OP
amazing and very emotional ending
best of luck and bless

Thanks for everything Jorge! ♥
you're my favorite character on "lost" and i'm really glad you ended up being protector of the island. i really liked the finale and i hope you act in something awesome again soon!!! -- sujata
Thank you so much, Jorge, for bringing the character of Hurley to us and for sharing your journey via this blog. I think I have only posted once before, but had to come back and say thank you and Goodbye to Hurley. The End was just so emotional and I have watched it twice now... made me cry both times. It definitely makes one think. LOST has been a part of my life since the beginning. An EPIC show that can never be duplicated. Not only did we gain the experience of the SHOW itself, but the community of fans that came together from all over the world in various forums - long lasting friendships! I have to thank you and your fellow actors for bringing such an experience to life, to Damon and Carlton and JJ for the brilliant writing and concept. Truly unique. I will miss LOST... but it has given me much to think about. I wish you good fortune in all that you do from here... and I hope you will keep up your blog. It has been a joy to read.
Best wishes and au revoir,
Sandra
Hola Jorge, escribí mi pequeño homenaje de despedida a Lost y me encantaría compartirlo con vos.
Besos y abrazos, sucesor de Jacob!

Bravo on a brilliant finale! I was crying for pretty much the entire 2 1/2 hours lol Your compassion for Jack at the end was moving. Congrats and Namaste Jorge!
Love ya!=)
That was a beautiful ending to an extraordinary story.
Congratulations on being part of it; you were amazing, and Hurley will live forever.
And thanks for being so open and accessible to all of us; it's been so generous and kind of you.
Wish you all the best with your own "letting go and moving on" - can't wait to see what you do next...
That was a beautiful ending. I cried my eyes out.
Congratulations on creating such a beloved character...Hurley will live on forever.
And thanks so much for being so open and accessible to us; you're so generous and kind to do that.
Wishing you the best with your own "letting go and moving on". It's so hard for us, I can only imagine how it is for you guys.
And I can't wait to see what you do next...
Great finale!
Loved the show!
I hope to see you in another show soon :-)
And I hope you continue this or maybe another blog.
thank u jorge!!!
thanks from italy for being part of the best show ever!
if u can answer me, i'd like to know when the authors said to the cast how it's going to end all the show and how you and your colleagues react to such a shock!
congratulations again

I will miss LOST...I loved Hurley, he was one of my favorite characters. I was so sad when Sun and Jin died. My heart was broken. I was crushed to find out all of my friends are dead. Thank you so much for the last 6 years. It has been wonderful. I would have let you all live. You know the happily ever after. I could never have killed everybody in the end. Good luck in the future. I thought you should have been the protector of the island in the end.
Hola Jorge,
aun estoy procesando la finale, no sé si me gustaron los últimos minutos o no, pero tengo claro una cosa. Tu escena con Jack en el río justo antes de que él baje fue lo más conmovedor que he visto, casi me haces llorar, estuviste sublime.
Eres un gran actor y además un tío muy majo, espero verte pronto en la pantalla. Te deseo la mejor de las suertes.
Sorry because this comments is in spanish, I wouldn't know how to express this in english.
We'll miss you, Jorge. You and all your friends :(
Jorge, gracias por todos estos años, espero que pronto volvamos a verte y por favor, no dejes este blog. Un abrazo desde el Pais Vasco (España).
Jorge, 'take a ride on the wild side' and come back.
You are a gorgeous 'stock option' at any show that comes.
Be sure of that.
Felicitats tremendo!
Gracias por haber sido Hurley. Lo extrañaré hasta el infinito y más allá.
Te quiero mucho, Jorge!
Just wanted to say that was perfect. I have not seen a finale so moving. Thank you, and best of luck on your next adventure!
hurley! we'll miss you so much! <3
jorge, thanks!
dude.
Thanks for six awesome years! Hope to see you again soon on the TV Machine! :)
Hi Jorge,
Saw the last pic you posted. You're welcome and Thank you. Hurley will always be one of my favorite Lost characters. Hurley was one of my mom's faves too...She passed away in 2007...So the finale was going to be bittersweet for me in more ways than one. I think you're cool, I think you're very funny and multi-talented...I have no doubt we'll see you someplace else, whether it be movies, TV, cyberspace or all three...You can basically write your own ticket.
All my best to you and yours,
Don't leave your blog! We love you Jorge! My friends and I love reading about your green thumb & bread making! Your video of Beth and the (b)Rat had us laughing for weeks!
Aww.. don't go away! keep us posted on what you'll be working on next! what bread you made!
I'm really going to miss the show! You're a great actor, and hope to see more of you in the future!
Uugh Whoopsie Goldberg (yes I did that on purpose) on the View was talking about LOST and just called Jorge "Jorge Rodriguez" Grrr
absolutely LOVED the show, and you in particular. I'm going to miss this show terribly.
I just put a review of the finale up on my blog. I'd love for you to check it out sometime.
God Bless, Jorge.
OMG! Lost's Finale was AMAZING! Really you can be proud for being a part of that show! I know lots of people are disappointed because there are not many answers...but honestly I'm not! The last 10 minutes were so hard for me! I cried so much, it was hard to watch the screen...! No really, you and all the actors did a WONDERFUL job! I can't believe there won't be any new episodes or whatever Lost stuff, but THANK YOU! I hope to see you soon on the big (or small) screen :) Bye, hugs and kisses from France ♥
Great run on the show ( Maybe Spin-Off with you and Ben) Thanks for laughs and wish you well. Hope to see you in a new show soon.
So loved the ending they gave you and Michael. Amazing how many years of adventures you guys put in my imagination with those two lines of dialogue!
All the best in your next adventures!
Good luck on your next venture. I'll be waiting on the other side... lol
