We’ll skip all the jokes about Jorge Garcia’s size (that he’s a ‘big star,’ etc.), about his moving from one island on Lost to another, and go straight to the good stuff: Garcia is a major player along with Santiago Cabrera in Alcatraz, Fox’ new eerie thriller-within-a-mystery-within-a-puzzle TV series premiering Monday night at 8P.
Garcia is one of the Losties who made a lasting impression on people, and this is his first big venture since Hurly and his buds went off to The Light a few seasons back. Still, he’s got a lot to say about Lost fandom, what he’s been up to since, and the similarities and dissimilarities between that guy and this guy. New York Magazine’s clever online newsletter The Vulture just published a cool Q&A with Garcia right here. You might take a glance at it before you tune in for the two-hour premiere on FOX.
