Jorge Garcia (Hurley) sings even more!

I love these “actors singing” videos.

Here, Jorge sings the bluesy “Mustang Sally” with a group comprised entirely of actors from various TV shows at the Netflix Live concert in August, 2008.

Jorge isn’t listed in the promo material, so maybe he was a surprise guest.

And here’s a clip where Jorge is singing “I Feel Good” in character, as Hurley. Notice how a wave from the ocean provides a final beat! I love Hurley’s last line too. It’s from Episode 1×21, The Greater Good.

Terry O’Quinn (Locke) sang — and played a psychotic killer!

Here’s another entry in the “LOST actors who sing” series. It’s a strange one. Pay attention to the words:

You think his kids had Daddy issues? πŸ˜‰

The video clip is from 1989, when O’Quinn was on MTV’s The Big Picture. He was promoting Stepfather II, a horror film starring O’Quinn as “The Stepfather” who escapes from a mental hospital, poses as a marriage counselor, finds a new family, and kills a lot of people.

Here are the trailers for Stepfather I (1987) and Stepfather II (1989), which are unintentionally funny, and filled with scary … hairstyles.

There are so many good singers in the talented LOST cast!

Here is Josh Holloway, before he was Sawyer, singing a country song.

The song was made for a 2002 movie Western called Mi Amigo, but it ended up not making it into the movie itself, only into the DVD extras.

The movie got a unanimous rating of one star on Amazon! It must have been an amazingly bad movie. I can’t remember ever seeing anything else on Amazon that was rated only one star.

One of the Amazon reviewers called it β€œthe worst movie ever.” Ouch! Poor Josh!

The song itself, though, is very nice. The video can’t be embedded, but you can watch it on YouTube here: Josh Holloway sings

Hmmm … I wonder if calling Sawyer “LaFleur” might be an in-joke, a reference to Holloway having previously worked for a company named “Azalea”?

He has a nice voice! Listen –>

The song is for the upcoming movie When We Were Pirates, starring Jorge Garcia himself!

You can watch an interview with Jorge tomorrow (Tuesday, April 21, 2009) on the daytime TV show the Bonnie Hunt show. Probably no singing, but he will be talking about LOST — and about his beloved tomato garden.

Why 3.2 million dollars?

Kate demanding answers from Miles

We just saw, in Some Like it Hoth, that Naomi offered Miles $1.6 million to join Widmore’s expedition to kill Ben. Then Miles told Bram he wouldn’t go to the Island if Bram paid him $3.2 million, which Bram declined to do.

We’ve heard the number $3.2 million before. Remember? Back in Season 4? Miles told Ben that for $3.2 million, he would lie to Widmore and tell him that Ben was already dead.

The scene contains this classic exchange:

— Ben, in a shocked tone: “You’ve arranged this meeting so you could blackmail me?
— Miles: “It’s extortion, if you want to get technical.”

Ben goes on to ask, “3.2? Why not 3.3 or 3.4?”

Which is exactly the question that I have. What is the significance of 3.2?

We know that $3.2 million is double what Widmore was paying Miles, and we know that $1.6 million contains the number “16,” which is one of the numbers. But there has to be more to it than that.

Miles never answers Ben’s question about why it’s 3.2. Miles just looks at him. His not answering gives the question even more significance. So does the echo of the number, over a year later, in Some Like it Hoth. 3.2 means something — but what?

The scene where Miles confronts Ben starts at 4:12 in the video below. I’ll think you’ll enjoy seeing it again. I found it interesting to go back to the time when the Losties still thought of Miles as their enemy. And he does seem a bit menacing here, not yet the cuddly wise-cracker that we’ve come to know and love (even though he does get off a couple of very funny lines):

Editing to add 4/27/09: This mystery has now been solved!

Promo for “The Story of the Oceanic 6”

Here’s a 15-second promo (it’s the one they showed at the end of the last episode) for the clip show “The Story of the Oceanic 6,” coming up on April 22.

I looks like they are going to be covering the flash-forwards from last season, along with some of what happened this season after the Losties returned to the Island.

Can anyone, who is quick on the pause button, make out what the video shows about a quarter of a second in, right after it shows Kate, and right before the screen says “Wednesday”? Is that the wreck of 815, or is it something else?

Jorge Garcia (Hurley) on Jimmy Kimmel

In this clip from earlier this week (the evening before LOST Episode 5×13 aired), Jorge is funny, talking about time travel, buying toilet paper at the grocery store with coupons, not going surfing, and spotting a stranger in his back yard.

For more Jorge, check out his blog.
