31 years after appearing on Law & Order as a new actor things have come full circle for Nestor Carbonell who recently wrapped directing an episode of the series. He shared some behind-the-scenes photos with former Bates Motel alum Brooke Smith with the following message:

Just had the great privilege of directing @nbclawandorder – a particularly meaningful moment for me since it was the show that gave me my SAG card a gazillion years ago. As if that weren’t enough, I had the honor of working with a phenomenal cast and crew and the pleasure of reuniting with my Bates Motel costar @therealbrookesmith Thank you @nbcuniversal @dickwolf #rickeid @artalamo @alexhall #mattsirianni #craigdibona for this extraordinary experience!!!

Nestor is in New York directing an episode of the hit series, Law & Order. This is from a tweet where a fan mentioned running into Nestor while the show was being filmed recently. He had previously announced he would be directing an episode after The Morning Show wraps filming during a live podcast he recorded in October 2022. As of yet no other information is known.

spoke to Nestor Carbonell (The Morning Show, The Dark Knight + Rises, etc.) this morning when I walked my dog through filming of a new season of Law & Order and he was very nice. If you watch L&O hmu so I can send you a pic of my apt building to find out which ep it ends up in
