Lost
Star Jorge Garcia Considers a Return to Stand-Up
2/1/08
star Jorge Garcia has hinted he may leave the smash-hit program to
return to his roots - as a stand-up comedian.
The Chilean actor was a funny-man performer before TV executives chose
him to play Lost's burly plane-crash survivor Hugo Reyes after spotting
his comedic turn on U.S. TV show Curb Your Enthusiasm.
But the Deck The Halls star doubts he has the dedication to make a
successful return the Los Angeles comedy circuit.
The 34-year-old says, "It was something I did because it was great
showcase yourself as both a performer and a writer. But I didn't have the
discipline to do the same material every time a got up.
"Most people did the same act every time and just worked on that
six minutes, so if they ever got to The Tonight Show, the act would be
great. I might go back to it. Who knows?"
