The success of Garcia: Jorge - a talented actor with an atypical appearance

All fans of an exciting adventure called "Staying Alive" remember the fat good-natured Hurley, and at least ninety percent of him fell in love. An open, benevolent and positive hero became the card of Garcia. Jorge managed to successfully realize his acting potential earlier, but it was this role that brought him real fame and became the key to further success in the creative field.

Education and career start

Career Jorge Garcia began back in college, where he discovered the outstanding talent of a real comedian. The students appreciated the talent of the future actor and encouraged his participation in student productions. The love of the theater was not the only feature that distinguished Garcia from the rest. Jorge was by no means the most ordinary student. His habits, addictions and accompanying simplicity of nature often discouraged his peers. For example, Garcia, not experiencing the slightest embarrassment, indulged in the most real gluttony, absorbing an unthinkable amount of oily and very harmful food. For this reason, the nickname Robin Bobin Barabek easily glued to the teenager Jorge Garcia, whose weight is still impressive. However, the love of humor allowed the young actor to evaluate his nickname from a positive point of view, and after a while he stopped resenting. Currently, Jorge is the creator of a giant collection of various packages from food, usually fast food, and is very proud of it.

Game and humor

Comedy skills played a crucial role in the formation of Garcia's career. Jorge with success continued student acting in the framework of one of the theatrical studios in Beverly Hills. There was an opportunity to take part in castings for the filming of popular at that time series. Despite the obvious creative inclination towards comedies, Jorge did not limit himself to this genre. Participation in humorous productions and standups alternated with serious projects, among which the series "Staying Alive" is especially noteworthy.

How Jorge became a member of one of the most popular TV shows

It is noteworthy that unlike other characters of the series Hurley in the original version of the script did not appear. And paradoxically, the good-natured fat man with a clearly comical bias claimed to be Sawyer. The role of the desperate handsome man bypassed Jorge the party, but the creators of the series could not part with the colorful guy, and specially for him came up with Hugo Reis. The character grew his story gradually - he did not even know Garcia about his past. Jorge liked this, he, along with the fans of the series, invented his life, blindly putting forward some or other assumptions about the development of events. This gave a special charm to the participation in the project.

Charming Hurley

As for the attitude of viewers to these or those characters, Hurley was in a very favorable position. All the other heroes now and then switched from the light side to the dark side, and vice versa, Hugo Reis remained the same charmingly positive simpleton who found ways to enjoy life even on the island. And he skillfully sought out wise and correct words that inspired other heroes to the actions that met the active approval of the audience. The character of Hurley has become not just an example of kindness and spontaneity, but also a serious motivator for a large number of spectators.

Personal life

Participation in the project "Lost" changed not only the professional life of Garcia, but also personal. On set, he met his future wife, beautiful Emily. In 2005, the couple registered their relationship. The tabloids were full of images of the happy Emily and Jorge Garcia. Photos showed their participation in various awards, receptions, shows, where the newlyweds happily smiled at the cameras and held each other's hands. Success Garcia in the professional field and in his personal life has become for many an example of how, with a very specific appearance, you can succeed in all areas of life. The personification of such an example was Jorge Garcia, height (182 cm), weight (more than 180 kg) and the appearance of which distinguish him from typical Hollywood beauties, but thanks to the charm peculiar to him, the man does not give them one iota.

New projects

Professional success also rushed uphill. No sooner had Garcia had a rest from filming in the popular Lost TV series, as he received an offer to appear in another Abrams project called Alcatraz. Despite the fact that the series itself was a failure, the critics praised the work of Jorge Garcia in it. Probably, for this reason, the serial role in the TV show "Hawaii 5: 0", which turned out to be much more successful than Alcatraz, again fell on him. Jorge joined the casting team only in the fourth season, but this did not stop him from being recognized and well received by the public.

Nevertheless, while Hugo Reyes remains the most significant role of Jorge Garcia, whose filmography is likely to be replenished with new, no less vivid characters in the near future. As it turned out, not all participants of the show "Lost" were lucky enough to become a part of so many projects. Therefore, despite the contradictory success of some or other attempts to take his place in the acting environment, Jorge Garcia remains one of the most successful participants in Lost, receiving an offer for the proposal and, as a result, new opportunities for creative self-realization, and far beyond the comic genre. No doubt, more than once we will see a talented and charming fat man on TV screens and once again make sure that the secret of success is not always in appearance.
