With LOST being the biggest thing on TV right now, it’s only natural for some of the castmembers, most of whom were relatively unknowns, to get instant recognition right now. But some may be handling their newfound fame a bit differently than the others.
Take the case of Hurley Reyes for instance; a small town boy who grew up in Omaha, Nebraska. When he reached his teens, he ate his hometown state and moved to California with the intent to eat it too. Fortunately, the Governer put a stop to him, and convinced him to try acting instead.
He cut his teeth on small independent films like You’ve Got Meals!, and Burger Shop I, II, and III. But since joining the cast of LOST, Hurley was able to make the kind of movies he really wants.
