LOST Revisited: 6-5 “The Lighthouse”
But Hurley’s a good solider, so he gives it a shot. And this is awesome. See, Jorge Garcia’s most notable role before Lost was as a drug dealer on Curb Your Enthusiasm. In fact, that episode aired the week he auditioned for Lost, which is probably why they had him read for Sawyer’s role. (Man, that would be a different show.) His dialogue to Jack here comes almost word-for-word from that episode of Curb. There’s no way that wasn’t intentional. Once he gives Jack the message from Jacob that he doesn’t “have what it takes”, Jack is interested. Hurley also compares Jacob to Obi-Wan Kenobi, which we’ve done over here a couple of times now. Thanks, Hurley!
