Hugo 'Hurley' ReyesAge 31
Casting backstory Garcia earned an audition after Abrams saw him as a scene-stealing drug dealer on Curb Your Enthusiasm, and he was the first one cast. ''J.J. Abrams and Hawaii were all I needed to sign on,'' says Garcia.
Our favorite moment Net worth of Hurley after winning the lottery: $156 million. Look on this fast-food employee's face when he realizes he's hit it big: Priceless.
His favorite moment ''The scene with me and [Matthew Fox] — we're walking carrying torches and I say, 'My name isn't Hurley. It's Hugo Reyes. Hurley's just a nickname.' We were thrilled, like 'Look at how fun this is! We get to carry torches through the jungle!'''
Favorite conspiracy theory ''That we're an ant farm — where you can shake it and mess them up. It just makes me laugh.''
If he could change one thing about Hurley... ''Give him a little romance — even if it's very innocent, junior-high style.''
Burning question The lotto numbers: What the hell? ''Trying to find greater meaning in the numbers is the direction we are going to continue in for the rest of season 1,'' says Lindelof. ''Hurley doesn't know that the numbers are on the hatch — what happens when he finds out that the numbers are on the hatch should be interesting. Wouldn't you think?''
