Jorge Garcia appeared at the 2007 NCLR ALMA Awards, held a couple of days ago in Pasadena, CA. When Jorge appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel show last month, he said he was going to spend the hiatus mostly chilling at home in Hawaii, but said that he would take a few weekend getaways. If I were him, living in Hawaii, I would stay put too!

Lost star Josh Holloway would choose his meaty co-star Jorge Garcia if he had to sleep with one of his male cast members - because the heavyweight actor is such a good cuddler.
The 37-year-old, who plays Sawyer on the hit TV show, also has diverse taste when it comes to his ideal woman, naming Barbara Streisand, Sophia Loren and Jessica Alba as the perfect female companions.

When Holloway was asked by American Elle magazine which male co-star he would choose for a tryst, he selected Garcia, who plays Hurley, “Because I know at least he’d cuddle me good afterwards.” Although he’s been married to wife Yessica since 2004, he claims he still dreams about older women saying, “I’ve fantasized about Barbra Streisand. “And I saw Sophia Loren at a restaurant a couple years ago and though, ‘Wow, I’d still go there.’ When asked if he were to be erroneously linked with any particular woman in the tabloids, whom he would choose, he selected someone slightly younger, answering “Jessica Alba.”

Actor Jorge Garcia stars as Hugo ‘Hurley’ Reyes in Lost – the protracted mystery show that’s moved from Channel 4 and starts its third series on Sky One on Sunday at 10pm. Before Lost, Garcia starred in a US hospital-based sitcom. Lost is famed for its unresolved plots – such as why a polar bear is running around a tropical island and the creepy black smoke that haunts the plane crash survivors.

Will we ever find out what the mystery in Lost is all about?
Yeah, at some point.

When?
It’s not going to be episode one of series three.

How long will it drag on for?
I dunno. I think the goal was to do five seasons in total but it’s hard to guess.

Are the writers making it up as they go along, or is there a master plan?
No, there is a master plan but if they want to tell the story in five years and we’re still a successful show, the network will want to keep the show going. The writers and producers need to fulfil their contract with the network. They want to tell a story but don’t know how long they have to tell it, so they have to guess.

The show’s lost about 2million British viewers since the start of series one to now. Will it have any viewers left in two years?
We’re still doing pretty good. Viewing figures aren’t something I think about. When we first started we had the best of both worlds – diehard fans who were always talking about the show on the Internet and a big overall audience of casual viewers. Our figures are still pretty big – we have room to lose a million viewers and still be considered a hugely successful show.

I’ve never had a problem getting work, I know what I can do and it’s just a matter of getting people to see me.

How far in advance do you know what’s going on?
I know what’s going on up until episode eight of season three but that’s just because I’ve shot those episodes. I’ve no idea where the big picture’s going.
