As 2024 draws to a close, we take a look back at what the year has brought—and no doubt about it—what a year it has been for Nestor and the fandom! 2024 kicked off with The Morning Show Finale Screening and Q&A, which was then followed by La Cena Los Angeles, an event celebrating Latinos in entertainment. While Nestor did not attend the Emmys in January, he did attend the afterparty celebration by AppleTV+ with Shannon.

We began February with another screening of The Morning Show Season 3 Finale, in which Nestor joined his castmates for a Q&A with fans and fellow actors. The end of the month finally brought us the highly anticipated premiere of Shogun, in which Nestor appeared for 3 episodes as the foul-mouthed sailor, Vasco Rodrigues. In March, we got the announcement that Nestor had been interviewed for the Getting Lost Documentary which was in production to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the critically acclaimed series.

In April, Nestor was interviewed by the University of Miami’s School of Communication for their news segment where he discussed his role on Shogun among other things. We also saw him attend an additional screening of The Morning Show and the announcement of his casting in the new Netflix series, Pulse as senior surgeon, Dr. Ruben Soriano.
