American comedian Garcia Jorge is best known for his role in the television series Lost. On the set of this project, he was able to arrange his personal life, having met his future wife.
Biography and filmography
García Jorge was born into an intelligent and educated family, where his father worked as a surgeon and his mother as a professor at a local university. He was born in 1973 in Nebraska.
At school, the future actor did not even think about a career related to cinema, did not develop in this area and did not take part in school scenes. Then he entered the University of California, where the situation changed completely. He is invited to one of the university performances, where he understands that such an activity is very much to his liking.
After graduating from higher education, Jorge begins to play both in the theater and in the cinema, accepting absolutely all incoming proposals. This approach helped him a lot in the development of talent, because any experience is valuable for real acting.
He got his first leading role in a movie in the film "The Slow and the Cautious", which did not become popular and was not even translated into other languages.
Real fame and popularity came to the actor in 2004, when he was 31 years old. Garcia Hohre auditioned for Lost to audition for the role of James Ford. The director thought that none of the characters in the project fit Jorge, but he really wanted to hire a talented actor. Therefore, especially for García Jorge, they created a new character - Hugo. Due to the fact that the image was created in a hurry, the hero's biography is not at all thought out. This moment only increased the attention of viewers to the series, because they began to develop many theories about the origin of Hurley.
Lost became the most successful project of the actor's career, but there were other notable works as well. For example, in parallel with the main work, he was busy in the television series "Welcome, or No Neighbors Entry", "How I Met Your Mother" (cameo), "Alcatraz".
Personal life
The actor suffers from addiction to fatty foods and fast food. During his school years, he even got a job at one of the local fast food establishments in order to enjoy his favorite food as often as possible. Because of his addictions, he was fired from his post. For the role in "Lost" he needed to lose a little weight, but after the completion of the project, the weight not only returned, but also began to grow rapidly. In 2014, he weighed over 180 kg. He currently collects food boxes.
Of course, being overweight negatively affects the health of an actor, but it has a positive effect on his career. It was the large size that opened the way for him to popular TV shows. In addition, the extra pounds did not interfere with the actor's personal life - since 2005 he has been married to his neighbor.
