Arturo Castro Thought There Weren’t Enough Latino Characters on TV. So He Decided to Play Them All Himself

On Narcos he was a cruel druglord; on Broad City he was a doting and beloved best friend. On Alternatino, Arturo Castro gets to play both archetypes—and many more. Though Castro toiled in shorts and indie films and bit TV parts for years, his career took off over the past five years in both the Colombian jungle, as cartel leader David Rodríguez in Narcos, and New York City's concrete jungle, as Ilana’s roommate Jaime in Broad City.
