    Jorge Garcia Glad That Show Isn't 'Lost' On Fans

    Comedian and actor Jorge Garcia is indebted to his fans, and is keen to appreciate the variety the audiences come in. He's even pleased that Lost is a big hit among the music crowd, especially members of the bands Metallica and Anthrax.

    Though the series is returning on January 21 with a clip special to boot, the actors know how rabid the viewers still are. It's just a little surprising how rock stars and soul singers can also get a little weak-kneed when it comes to seeing their favorite actors.


    “One of the biggest things for me was when we were at the Golden Globes,” Jorge Garcia admitted. “Seal came up to me, Daniel Dae Kim and Yunjin Kim and asked to get a picture with us. Holy cow! That's awesome.”

    It seems as though anyone from the realms of heavy metal to R&B can be fanboy or a fangirl, especially with shows like Lost on television these days. Garcia, who plays the character Hurley Reyes on the series, went on to explain why he thinks the acclaimed ABC series is a hit with musicians.

    “Because we're a very good DVD kind of show, I've run into a lot of musicians who are fans because they watch it on their tour buses and things like that,” the actor exclaimed.

    Well then, they have a lot to look forward to. With ABC releasing Lost's fifth season in less than a month's time, there's no doubt the network will be plagued by fans once more. Sources reveal that the program will air uninterrupted, with a three-hour premiere consisting of a clip show and two new back-to-back episodes.

    “This season, I think, is going to run straight through,” Garcia said. “Last season, they skipped a week before the finale and had a clip show, so we might do that. But for the most part, it should run straight through.”
