Birth Place[edit]

The article says that he was born in Chile and raised in California. His little "bio box" says Omaha, NE. Where does Omaha come into play? Also, if he was born in Chile, are we sure he's American? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Superwesman (talk • contribs) 19:20, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled section[edit]

The suggestion that the role of Hurley on Lost was specifically written for Jorge is SIMPLY INNACCURATE. I have heard a radio interview in which he says he auditioned for someone else (possibly Jack) before he got the role of Hurley. I will attempt to get a podcast of this interview and I won't edit the page yet.

What I understood was that he auditioned for the role of Jack, but the writers, on seeing his audition THEN decided to write a part for him. Conor 22:12, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is April 28, 1979 his correct birth date? He is listed as April 28, 1973 on IMDB.

He is also listed as being born in 1974 (on TV.com)

The article says: "... and as of 2006 stars as Hugo "Hurley" Reyes in the American television series Lost." But lost started airing in September 2004, so I'll be changing the year.--Cirilobeto 05:12, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Filmography[edit]

Why was the filmography section removed? - Throw 22:47, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I put it back. - Throw 22:58, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Armageddon (1998): I cannot find any reference to Jorge in any cast listing for Armageddon (1998). Please specify where this information came from here or in the links section. If he was an uncredited extra, please specify to the side of the entry, otherwise the entry will be removed. Thanks Inferno760 (talk) 09:59, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He was in at least 2 episodes of the show Supernatural.Korra II Royal (talk) 06:33, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Picture[edit]

Anyone got a better pic of him? He looks better as Hurley than in this pic!! Also, is his name pronounced like "George" or "Horhey" (Spanish)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.146.13.185 (talk) 09:39, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Name pronunciation[edit]

How can he have appeared in 115 episodes of lost when only 112 have aired?Spork4beans (talk) 19:29, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Garcia vs. García[edit]

He's descendent of latins so his name is GarcÍa and not Garcia. His name appears as Garcia because it's easier to write by americans, just like the surname Gonçalves (Gon-ssal-vesh) that, without the Ç, appear written in english as Goncalves (read: Gon-kál-vesh) - a big difference. This article should be Jorge García because that's his name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.156.24.193 (talk) 17:17, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be bold and move this article to Jorge García. His father was Chilean and obviously it's written "García" instead of "Garcia". --Bedivere (talk) 04:37, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weight[edit]

Part of the reason this guy is interesting is his weight. That fact (or range) should be included in the article. Here's a reference with the info about his weight: http://www.howmuchdotheyweigh.com/jorge-garcia-weight/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.34.80.28 (talk) 03:27, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, why is he that fat? He's is obviously not a typical fatty of Polynasian origin, just a a fatty. Why is that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:16B8:C714:B900:58FA:2A89:CAB8:6038 (talk) 00:33, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
