The Masked Singer's Jorge Garcia On How His Time On Lost And Hawaii Five-0 Prepared Him For The Cyclops Costume

The Masked Singer Season 7 rounded out its first group of competitors with a double-elimination, which resulted in the dramatic Firefly’s advancement and the elimination of Cyclops and Thingamabob (who was the always busy NFL star Jordan Mailata). Cyclops’ Season 7 elimination revealed him to be actor Jorge Garcia, who audiences likely know from his time on Lost or Hawaii Five-0. According to the actor, working in Hawai'i helped him cope with a typical complaint of contestants on the Fox series regarding costume comfort.

Jorge Garcia: Dedicated to You

Gigi Gryce's turbo-charged "Minority," which opens Cuban-born guitarist Jorge Garcia's Dedicated to You, serves as a reminder of how much talent the world lost when alto saxophonist Richie Cole died in May 2020. And if that weren't enough to persuade any doubters, the vibrant "This One's for Richie" (based, appropriately, on the standard "There Will Never Be Another You") readily affirms that opinion. While, alas, those are the only tracks on which Cole performs, they alone make the album well worth the listener's time.

Henry Ian Cusick Talks About His Mini Lost Reunion With Jorge Garcia Happening on MacGyver Tonight

Cusick, of course, stars on the CBS series as Russ Taylor, the new owner of the Phoenix Foundation, but when Garcia joins the cast, it will be as his Hawaii Five-0 character Jerry Ortega.
