Néstor Carbonell (Bates Motel, Lost) joins us this week and shares his experience coming from a family of Cuban exiles, following expectations of going to Harvard, and then using leverage to make a name for himself on one of the biggest shows of all time… Lost. Néstor was great this week.
We talked about his humble beginnings, and never ‘taking for granted’ his countless guest-starring roles.
We also talk about his curveball on The Dark Knight, handling rejection, and the funny story of his first gig in a Zest commercial.

His star initially rose with his starring role opposite Brooke Shields in the series “Suddenly Susan” when he played the suave Cuban photojournalist, Luis Rivera, for four years (1996-2000).
