Can Arturo Castro, known for Broad City and Narcos, fill some large and hilarious shoes with his own sketch show? You probably recognize Arturo Castro, even if he can be hard to pin down. You might know him as Jaime, the amiable gay best friend and drug dealer on the oddball buddy comedy Broad City, or as David Rodriguez, the cocaine cartel scion from the action drama Narcos. Being so prominently associated with polar opposite roles on two drastically different series makes Castro something of an enigma — a character actor capable of assuming any supporting role. In one sense, that’s all changing for the Guatemalan-born Castro, whose sketch comedy series, Alternatino, premieres June 18 on Comedy Central. He’s now firmly center stage, but he still shows range, taking on a full cast’s worth of diverse characters within each show, wigs and makeup wildly transforming the 33-year-old emerging star. |
