I felt bad about this. The poor dude just wanted to enjoy Comic-Con. He couldn't even go by the Mattel booth without people hassling him. The price of fame. Note that he did say I could "walk and talk" with him. Get ready for a major LOST spoiler.

San Diego Comic-Con 2009: Jorge Garcia (Hurley From LOST)
Oh come on! He couldn't just stand still and give G-man like 10 seconds to ask him questions? The lady that ran up to him asking for a picture definitely ruined it, he obviously just wanted to get out of there after that.
I wonder if me talking to him is what tipped off that lady to ask for a picture. But then, he did say he'd walk and talk with me. Either way, it must suck not being able to enjoy being out in public.
God no offence to him but he seems like a right pratt! if he dont want to be talked too then dont walk around a comic con! your a star not a normal person!
to quote my dad, bloody actors
2 things here... Red lamp needs to learn the term STEADY CAM! its like watching cloverfield watchign your vids! lol
3. gman needs to be more exciting to talk too... take a page from Babs, she is happy and cheery with them, you sound morbid and unhappy XD or just put on a wonder woman costume... actually no dont do that....
well done to you both for being brave enough to approach him!
I get where he is coming from he isn't there to be part of the show he is there to enjoy it. Props to G-man for not being a dick and letting the guy enjoy his day. Keep up the good work guys, you're really making this year rock with all the great updates.
Nice. LOL "Lost Spoiler"
Plus, you should wear the Wonder Woman Costume lol. That Be hilarious.
Haha Hugo incognito Thats a crazy notion, I'm actually kinda suprized more people weren't mobing him
It must be really hard to be in that situation. He wants to just check everything out and enjoy himself but he also doesn't want to hurt his fans feelings. You could tell that it was really hard for him to say no. You should have asked him for an interview for when he was done at the show.
Jorge Garcia, man even when your enjoying the Con you should make a little time for the fans. he said no to a quick picture. cant believe it

Did anyone else notice how much nicer he was to the random woman who asked for a picture than he was to G-Man?
What a dick.
Jorge is actually a really cool, down to earth guy. To say he doesn't give a shit about fans is ridiculous as he's interacted with them probably more than any other actor on the show, going on fan podcasts and such. I'm sure he just wants to go enjoy himself at comic con, being a nerd himself, yet you can see that he's being stopped by people every 5 steps he takes. That's gotta suck. He is just a normal guy at heart, after all.

Fans are what keeps shows like LOST on the air. Make time for a pic. thats the price of frame Jobber!

Since G-man came at him for an interview and camera I can see him turning down a formal interview and it being somewhat acceptable.....but that girl just wanted a picture that would have taken a few seconds and would have made her day or even year
I don;t think he came off as rude at all. Yes, the guy is an actor but that doesn;t mean he shouldn't be able to enjoy being a geek without being stopped ever couple seconds. Taking a picture with that girl would have just drawn more attention to him which he obviously didn't want. Regardless, nice try G-Man!!
I can totally understand him not wanting to be mobbed by fans with pictures and questions and just wanting to enjoy the show. But he could've at least wore sunglasses and a hat at least, so no one will recognize him. At least not right away.
So, all you people who say he's a dick, you KNOW him, right? And I'm sure you also know what it's like to not be able to walk five feet without having SOMEONE ask something from you: a photo, an autograph, etc.
You guys have experienced that, right? I mean, you CLEARLY HAVE, otherwise you'd use your brain before opening your mouth.
Oh... you haven't had that experience? You haven't met him? Oh well, then you're the dicks.
Christ, bunch of fucking ingrates. The man said he'd walk and talk. It got crazy. G-Man HIMSELF ended the interview, not Jorge. You people are so quick to judge. So sad. What a miserable bunch of fools you are.
G-Man probably took off because the guy was being silly about the interview from the beginning. From what I have seen the CV Staff has been nothing but respectful to the talent. People can call me any name in the book and try to look bad ass with the language and if you feel like that is what you have to do, here is a link to my page send me a PM
My opinion he could be the nicest guy in the world but what the video shows it was a dick move on his part. If he wanted to be incognito he should have worn a hat or something the guy doesn't really blend in if you know what I mean.
