I Chat With Nestor Carbonell About Lost
I interviewed Nestor Carbonell recently about the sixth and final season of Lost. As you might have guessed, Carbonell was under strict orders not to reveal any spoilers for the show’s upcoming final act, which kicks off tonight on ABC. But he did offer some surprisingly candid comments about where his character, Richard “Eyeliner Man” Alpert, is headed and what we’ll learn about him as the season progresses.
I was a bit of a nervous wreck before the interview. I’ve chatted with plenty of celebs and TV stars before, but I am a Lost fanatic. Seriously, I’m obsessed. I draw Dharma logos all over my notebooks. (It’s quite sad, really.) Plus, I’ve been following Carbonell’s career since his days on Suddenly Susan and The Tick.
Thankfully, he turned out to be a very easy-going and funny guy. He didn’t even mind that I brought up the whole eyeliner issue:
I know you’ve spoken about this elsewhere, but we might have a few readers who don’t know the answer, so I’m obliged to ask: Do you wear eyeliner and has Maybeline approached you for an endorsement deal?
(Laughs) Uh, no and no! Suffice to say I’ve been dealing with that question, at least the first part of that question, since I was a little kid. But no, I’m just of Cuban heritage, and I guess I got a lot of eye lashes! I was just telling someone else that now my own kids have to deal with that because they’ve been plagued or cursed with the same issue.
