Dude.

I went to high school in San Clemente with Jorge Garcia, who plays Hurley on Lost.  We actually won a talent show competition together doing a Rowan & Martin comedy routine.

Jorge was a year ahead of me, he was a good friend and (to me anyway) the coolest guy in the school.  I always looked up to him.  And so his very kind post about Bloom over on his Lost blog means quite a lot to me.  It’s like getting a thumbs-up from the Fonz.

I’ve also been a Lost devotee from the pilot, and I’m very proud of myself that when we hung out in NY I didn’t ask a single question about anything.  (Emilie, on the other hand, I shake upsidown at least once a month.)
