LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10 (UPI) -- Former "Lost" star Jorge Garcia says he is pleased to appear on the cover of Weezer's forthcoming album "Hurley," due for U.S. release next month.

Garcia played the beloved character Hugo "Hurley" Reyes on the recently wrapped "Lost."

"I'm excited to know that people in the music stores (where) I used to work will soon be opening boxes full of my smiling face," Garcia told TVGuide.com.

"I just loved this photo of Jorge Garcia -- it just had this amazing vibe," Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo said in an interview with Spinner. "We didn't want to do a fourth self-titled record and we knew people would refer to it as 'the Hurley record' even if (we) left it without that title, so we just called it 'Hurley.' No words are on the cover because all we wanted was his amazing face."
