Following his departure from the series in Season 10's "Ua 'eha Ka 'ili I Ka Maka O Ka Ihe," Garcia hit the ground running — or rather, escaping — in 2020's "Nobody Knows I'm Here." Directed by Gaspar Antillo, the Netlix original cast the actor as Memo Garrido, a former child star so traumatized by his experience — and so secretly heartbroken by his failure to become an adult star — that he lives in isolation with his uncle on a Chilean sheep farm in a remote village.
The film impressed critics and audiences alike (via Rotten Tomatoes), and prompted Variety critic Jessica Kiang to call Garcia's Memo "such a vivid character, with such a clearly enunciated inner life (despite having a total of maybe 20 words of dialogue), that we can just about plausibly imagine the gloomy cast of the movie's reality is simply the projection of how he sees the unfriendly, ill-intentioned outside world."
Garcia's next project, the 2020 comedy "The Wrong Missy," didn't quite have the same effect on either critics or viewers, but it did take place in (you guessed it) Hawaii (via Rotten Tomatoes). Most recently, Garcia reprised his beloved Jerry Ortega in an episode of CBS' "MacGyver" reboot titled "SOS + Hazmat + Ultrasound + Frequency + Malihini," and is slated to star alongside performers such as Sheri Moon-Zombie and Elvira in Rob Zombie's upcoming reimagining of "The Munsters." Garcia is also an associate producer on Rafael J. Noble's recently announced "When We Were Pirates," which will reunite the actor with "Lost" co-stars Henry Ian Cusick and Harold Perrineau (via IMDb).
