This is Locke's boss -- from the same site as the other pictures tiggy posted. Is this the same guy as the Hurley's manager at the chicken place?
Lost: OMGWTF POLAR BEAR
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Yep. I was just checking back and forth between several pictures of Locke's boss, and the good cap of Hurley's boss. They are the same guy, but it's a little hard to tell in some caps because he's clean shaven with close cropped hair as Hurley's boss, and he has a goatee and shaggy hair as Locke's boss.
It took checking a couple of different pictures to confirm it, but it's the same guy.
Serial --
I found the best two pictures for comparison were these two:
ETA: Also, IMDb confirms that it was a guy named Billy Ray Gallion playing the character of Randy in both episodes ("Walkabout" and "Everybody Hates Hugo"). You have to scroll down to his Notable Guest Appearances.
If Hurley does own the box company, no small irony that Locke is now telling Hurley what to do.
playing the character of Randy in both episodes
Ah, I wondered about this. (Whether it was a case of a recurring character, or merely a reused actor.)
Yeah, me too. Especially since he looked so different in each episode.
Of course, some old pictures of me look pretty different....
I'm wondering about the hair and the two time frames....
Which came first? the chicken or the box company?
Chicken had to come first. Hurley won money at chicken stand; bought box company with money.
I thought Hurley bought the ticket at the convenience store.
I mean, how do the two jobs Randy had mesh in the timeline?
Randy could have worked at the box company before the chicken stand. Was the encounter with Locke and Randy immediately before the trip to Australia, or much further back?
Hurley name-dropped the Hold Steady when he was asking out the record store girl! (Hilarious to me because they are friends of friends.)
