“When you get into trouble there’s only one person to call, Olivia Pope. Olivia is a professional ‘fixer’ who makes problems go away before anyone even knows they exist. For the moneyed, the powerful and even the President, Olivia is a legend in her field. Her spectacular success is mostly due to her unbreakable rule of always trust your gut. No matter how careful you are, when you do damage control for a living, you’re bound to cause some damage to your own life. She and her crew eat, sleep, live and breathe crisis. Each week, as the team races against the clock to defuse intriguing new problems before they become full-blown disasters, they also have to deal with their own personal issues.

We really miss ABC’s hit show “LOST” and continue to cross our fingers that someday the cast will reunite once again! However, until that day arrives, we decided it would be fun to see where the “LOST” cast members are now! Check it out:
Jorge Garcia (Hugo ‘Hurley’ Reyes)
Jorge Garcia has guest starred on the hit TV show “How I Met Your Mother” and the brand new ABC comedy “Mr. Sunshine.” He is in a movie called “Maktub” set to release this year and another film called “When We Were Pirates,” which will arrive in 2012. Jorge is also currently filming for a new show called “Alcatraz,” set to premiere in 2013. Jorge’s face was also plastered on the cover of Weezer’s “Hurley” album (pictured left), named after Jorge’s character on “LOST.” Be sure to follow Jorge on his blog FurtherDispatches.wordpress.com.

Matthew Fox (Jack Shephard)
According to IMDB Matthew Fox has two projects in the works, “Mass Effect” (2012) and “Billy Smoke” (2014). However according to a recent interview Matthew has been offered numerous roles that he chooses to turn down because he hates acting and he hates the types of movies that are being made. In addition he has made very clear that he has no interest in acting in another TV show. Moving on…
Josh Holloway (James ‘Sawyer’ Ford)
While we wish Josh Holloway’s list of projects was longer we at least have one movie to share with you that the former “LOST” star is in – “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol,” how exciting!
