Pop quiz: Whom would you cast as Hurley’s father on “Lost?”
If you said, “Someone who’s the right age, Hispanic, and has a constant case of the munchies,” you’d be right in line with the producers’ way of thinking…as that’s exactly who has won the role.
Personally, much as I have a soft spot for the actor in question, this one feels like a stretch to me…but what do you think? Any alternative suggestions?
And for the record, no voting for Ricardo “Khan” Montalban. He is simultaneously too old, too tall, and too skinny for this role. Besides, we are still hoping he will show up in that other J.J. Abrams project, complete with massive pec-plate, and thus be much too busy to appear in a piddly little network TV show.
