So as many of you know by now, last week we had our Alcatraz premiere event on Alcatraz.
It was pretty sweet. We flew on a charter jet.
Then we were shuttled to the ferry that took us to the island where we had a party and screening of the pilot on cell block D.
As it was almost a year ago when we shot the pilot there, it felt like an anniversary or homecoming.
Then we got right back on the plane, because we had work in the morning.

As you can imagine the flight back was a bit more mellow than the flight out.
Note Jonny Coyne in the background.
Oh and at some point over the course of the evening I apparently lost my hands.

Thanks for letting us board the plane with you
I just hope here in Germany we won’t have to wait too long for the show to air.
So cool Jorge! Can’t wait to see the show!!!
I’m so excited for the premiere of the show. Finally some TV to look forward to… Sunday: Once upon a time…(look for the lost easter eggs through the show, Monday Alcatraz and our Beloved Jorge, Thursday: Person of Interest, with Michael and Friday: Fringe…its never been better!
Can’t wait to see the show!
Can’t wait to see it!
Were the critics pleased?
If you ever end up getting transported back and forth on a boat between the island and San Francisco, be sure you’re sitting next to Sam Neil to be safe. You never know what crazies are out in that bay.
NY Times said some really nice things about me. http://tv.nytimes.com/2012/01/16/arts/television/alcatraz-on-fox-with-sarah-jones-and-sam-neill-review.html
They called you all ‘tasty’. Note to cast: avoid critics during feeding time.
Yep, lots of people lose their hands on Alcatraz. It’s cold there day and night. Looking forward to tomorrow.
way jealous of my pals who saw the previews.. LOVED it and one got that Alcatraz press pack.. SO jealous… way cool to see and way cool to know it’s going to be THE show to see!
Thanks! I can’t wait to see it. Thanks for being so real and down to earth.
seems like we’ve been waiting for this for a long time. can’t wait any longer!
I am so excited for tomorrow! I have the DVR set to record the entire series. Woot! Congratulations to you and the entire cast and crew. I see someone on here has a friend who saw the preview. I would have loved that. Was it shown up there or here in LA? Had I known, I’d have made the trip down, or tried to. LoL

CONGRATS! I hope this is a huge success. I am so excited for this show. Tomorrow I have a huge all-day job interview and I know the only thing that’s gong to get me through is knowing I’ll have this fun premiere to watch when I get home!
FINALLY! YES,YES,YES!! I can’t wait to see the show tomorrow…I’m so excited!
uf , mañana en España.Demasiadas horas , no se si podre aguantar tanto.
wow…pretty cool…
This weekend I saw commercials for Alcatraz! Looks like it premieres in a week here in Mexico. SO. HAPPY.
Welcome back, Mr. Garcia! We are so lucky to have another island graced with your presence. Good luck, we can’t wait to see you again. We know the show will be a great success.
Crazy about your hands. Perhaps they’ll mysteriously reappear in 50 years.
Oh bravo!!! “The piece that really makes the core cast click, though, is Jorge Garcia from “Lost,” who plays Diego Soto, an Alcatraz expert. Mr. Garcia enlivens every scene he’s in and provides droll humor as well.”
Also looking forward to the first official podcast!
Great job Jorge! The pilot episodes felt perfect tonight. They hit all the right chords and the cast is phenomenal! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the show. Dude, you are such a blessed guy! Thanks for all your hard work!
