I was trekking around the "loop" in Lanikai with Leilani this week and I realized that while the scenery was familiar I was Lost!
Actually I came across an outdoor photo shoot. Jorge Garcia, a k a Hurley, from the hit television series Lost was due to arrive in moments.
He had an appointment with our friend Dana to have his picture taken.
Jorge has been living in our neighborhood during the past few production seasons. Everyone has respected his privacy and on occasion you could see him walking his tiny dog Nunu.
One of his friends in the neighborhood asked if he would be willing to pose for a photograph for the American Library Association's "READ" program.
He was due any moment and Dana needed a light check. He told me to stand on the canvas and pop, pop, pop the strobe went off. He told Ginger that he needed Phil and I asked "Who is Phil?". Not Phil but fill. Ginger knew what was needed and she grabbed a large piece of poster board and held it to my left side to balance the light. Pop, pop, pop and Dana had a few more test shots and it was over.
Leilani and I were no longer Lost and no longer needed on the set. We left the scene before the star arrived.
The following day Dana send the results of his test shots with me and Leilani. Being the stage parents that we are we offered to sit in whenever Dana would need a test subject again. You never know when another star or director will be in town and Leilani could have her big break!
