Evangeline Lilly and Jorge Garcia - 2005

Nicole Evangeline Lilly (born August 3, 1979) is a Canadian actress, known best for her role as Kate Austen in the drama, Lost.

Lilly was discovered on the streets of Kelowna, British Columbia, by Ford modeling agency. Although she initially decided to pass on a modeling career, she went ahead and signed with Ford anyway, to help pay for her University of British Columbia tuition and expenses. Despite being signed to Ford Models, she was never actually a fashion model, working instead with their acting branch.

She was previously featured in several provocative television commercials for LiveLinks Chatline, a service billed as the "best place to meet local singles for dating, friendship, or phone chat"; her image is still used to promote the service. She also appeared on G4's Judgment Day. She appeared uncredited in the 2003 film Freddy vs. Jason as a high-school girl leaning against a locker, and in several episodes of Smallville as an extra. She also had a guest appearance on the ABC supernatural horror series Kingdom Hospital (2004). Lilly's first speaking role was on Lost. She also appeared in the 2003 teenager film The Lizzie McGuire Movie as an (uncredited) Italian police officer.[citation needed]

When Lilly was cast as Kate in Lost, her main concern was acquiring a work visa to enter the United States. With production literally days away and no news about the visa, casting directors were forced to grudgingly begin re-casting the role of Kate. After nearly 20 auditions, Lilly's work visa was approved/cleared but she arrived on set a day late.

Jorge García (born April 28, 1973) is an American actor and comedian. He first came to public attention with his performance as Hector Lopez on the show Becker and currently stars as Hugo "Hurley" Reyes in the American television series Lost. García also performs as a stand-up comedian.

García was born in Omaha, Nebraska. He grew up in Southern California and went to San Clemente High School. As a senior, he was selected by the faculty as "Triton of the Year", the highest award given to a graduating senior.

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.

García appeared in the second episode of the eighth season of Celebrity Poker Showdown. He went on to lose to Michael Ian Black. He was a contestant on an episode of Russian Roulette on Game Show Network. He missed a question about the Boxer Rebellion of 1900 and fell through the trap door.

Garcia will star in the new comedy / drama "When we were Pirates" due out later this year. In the independent film, he will play a man named Jason, who along with a group of close friends, learn that their childhood love of playing pirates helps them overcome some of the difficulties they face later in their lives. He is also seen singing in the studio for the upcoming project on an officially released youtube clip.

Garcia keeps a blog, Dispatches from the Island.
