Hugo Reyes, better known by the nickname "Hurley," is a fictional character on the ABC television series Lost played
by Jorge Garcia. Reyes at times serves as the show's comic relief, but in episodes focusing on him, is portrayed in a more
serious light. Hurley hails from Los Angeles. Prior to the crash Hurley won the lottery, but bad luck befell him as he
discovered that the winning numbers were as he puts it “cursed.” On the island Hurley isn’t really taken seriously
and many times some of the survivors act as if he is getting in their way. However Hurley has at times been
an integral part of survival for many of these survivors.
