He was a prominent character in Troma Studio's film, Tales from the Crapper, in which he portrayed a raccoon-headed young man who is unlucky in love.
García was the first actor to be cast on Lost. He had originally auditioned for the role of Sawyer, and the part of Hurley was written for him. The producers saw him on Curb Your Enthusiasm the night before casting began, and created the character of Hugo Reyes specifically for him.
