Played by: Jorge
Garcia
Name:
Hugo Reyes
Nickname:
Hurley
Reason for
the Flight: He was hoping to get home in time to celebrate
his mother's birthday after researching "the
numbers".
Profession:
Multimillion dollar lottery winner. Before that, he
worked at Mr. Clucks chicken restaurant.
Hurley Facts:
Pre-Crash:
Hurley's dad left when Hurley was a boy. This is when his
addiction to food began.
As an adult,
Hurley was in a mental hospital after walking out onto a deck,
which then collapsed, killing 4 people. He blamed his weight.
After getting
rid of his imaginary friend Dave, Hurley was released from the
hospital and moved back in with his mother. Shortly after, he
won the lottery, using numbers one of the other mental
hospital patients repeated over and over. Ever since winning,
bad things happen to people around Hurley. He bought Mr.
Clucks, but a reporter, Tricia Tanaka, was killed when a
meteor hit the restaurant while she was doing a piece on
Hurley. His dad returned, but Hurley was suspicious that his
father just wanted Hurley's money, so he didn't listen to his
father when his father said that Hurley wasn't cursed.
Hurley went to
Australia to find Sam Toomey to find out more about the
numbers he'd used to win the lottery.
Island:
Hurley seems to be the guy on the island that everyone likes.
He's funny, helpful, and smart. He falls for Tallie
Libby, but she is shot by Michael.
Hurley is
captured by the Others with Jack, Kate, and Sawyer, but set
free and told to tell the rest the group to not come looking
for them.
Hurley finds a
Dharma bus on the island and feels he is no longer cursed as
he gets the bus running.
In the war
against the Others, Hurley saves Jin, Bernard, and Sayid when
he drives the Dharma bus onto the beach and runs over one of
the Others.
Post-Island:
Hurley's parents throw him a surprise birthday party and his
father gives him the Camaro they'd worked on together when
Hurley was young. Hurley sees the that the numbers are on the
odometer and runs away screaming.
Hurley
believes that he is seeing things that aren't really there and
is relieved to be put back into Santa Rosa Mental Hospital. At
the hospital, he sees Charlie, who tells him that "they
need him".
Strong
Relationships: Libby was probably
the strongest, but everyone seems to like Hurley.
Rocky
Relationships: He and Charlie had a
fight that lasted a few days, but for the most part, they get
along really well. Hurley is not a big Michael fan ever since
Michael shot and killed Hurley's girlfriend, Libby.
