Hugo "Hurley" Reyes

Born in 1971 in Puerto Rico, Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes is a charismatic and free-spirited baggage handler at LAX with a penchant for sweets and a knack for survival. With a penchant for getting out of sticky situations and a natural-born leadership quality, Hurley is at the helm of the island's survivors, guiding them through the jungle with his quick wit and infectious optimism - the very qualities that also landed him a jackpot win in the lottery, despite his notorious bad luck.
