This post contains spoilers from Wednesday’s episode ofThe Masked Singer.
Cyclops fell victim toThe Masked Singer’s first season 7 double elimination.
“I’ve been watching the show for a while, I really loved it,” Garcia tells PEOPLE. “And I’ve always been a fan of dressing up. So I thought it’d probably be fun. I told my people to let them know if they’re ever interested, I’m interested.”

Garcia showed off his range with performances ofElvis Presley’s “Suspicious Minds” and Creed’s “My Sacrifice” earlier in the season. TheHawaii Five-0actor admitted on Wednesday’s episode — which also saw Thingmabob unmasked as NFL player Jordan Mailata — that he couldn’t actually see much while on stage, though.
“My field of vision is this little hole in the soul patch,” Garcia said on the show. “I hear there was a big show going on around me — I can’t wait to see it.”
The Nebraska native shares what it felt like inside Cyclops, what he thought of the judges' guesses for him and if he’s kept in touch with theLostcast.

PEOPLE: Why did you pick the massive Cyclops outfit?JORGE GARCIA: It was massive. When Cyclops was presented to me, I thought it looked really cool. And there’ve been so many monsters on the show with the one eye that I thought it was like getting to join a legacy. It wasn’t until much later when the costume was actually being made — because when I saw it was just an artist’s rendering of what Cyclops could look like — you realize how much bigger and how much heavier the thing got in practicality. It became almost like interpretive puppetry. It was really fun to get to do such a big, giant type of mascot-style costume.

How warm did it get under the costume?It was more the weight of it was the bigger deal. You really felt it on your shoulders. The challenge was basically breath control, to be able to sing in it. It did get warm, but I mean, I lived in Hawaii for so long, I got used to being warm for long periods of time.
The judges didn’t get anywhere close to guessing your identity, tossing out Zac Brown,Chris Prattand Rob Thomas. Which did you find the funniest?John Lithgow. I was like, “Wow.” John Lithgow and I, there’s no part where we line up in the Venn diagram. It was such a broad range of types. That was kind of fun that they had no idea.

Why do you think you were on Team Bad?As a kid, I always was a fan of watching monster movies and stuff like that. I would root for the monsters and that stuff. But I think a baddie was kind of actually more going against what people would probably expect from me. As far as baddies go, I think Cyclops is perhaps the cutest one.

There were a lot ofLostclues in the packages. Do you still get recognized for that show often?When I was doingHawaii Five-0, it started to eclipse theLostones. The people who still come up with me aboutLostare pretty diehard about it, but when I was living in Hawaii shootingHawaii Five-0, there was a lot of people who were there hoping to catch us filming. It’s probably swinging back toLostthe few times I do get stopped.
Have you stayed in touch with theLostcast over the years?Every now and then, you either run into them or there’s a reason to send an email or a message to congratulate someone on something. If someone makes an announcement on social media, there’s always kind of a flurry of responses.
What else do you have coming up?I get to be inThe Munstersthat Rob Zombie is directing. And it was a lot of fun and really a dream come true to get to be a part of a movie like that.
The Masked Singerairs Wednesdays (8 p.m. ET) on Fox.
