Nestor Carbonell Talks About Richard Alpert’s Episode Of “LOST”

Nestor Carbonell recently talked about what it was like to film Richard Alpert’s Episode of “LOST” this season on the show.

They wrote an amazing script and I got to play with it. I also benefited from the fact that you really didn’t know anything about my character for three years so I had that built in intrigue. In a way, as an actor I could almost do no wrong because I had that built in intrigue. It was fun and they wrote me a beautiful episode so it was great to do it.

Much of the episode was in Spanish, when asked if the script was written in Spanish or English, Nestor answered:

Well, they wrote it in English so that production could understand everything that was being said. But, Connie Saucedo, who works on the show and is originally from Mexico, translated all the text. She did a phenomenal job of translating, and I speak Spanish as well. My parents are both Cuban. We went through it together and made minor tweaks, but Connie really did the bulk of the work. She did a great job. It’s another example of not knowing any other show that will spend 30 minutes of an hour in primetime, doing it all in Spanish with subtitles.
