Comedy, drama and the characters between

Arturo Castro is a Guatemalan actor whose work moves between comedy and drama. In Broad City he played Jaime, while Narcos introduced viewers to a very different character, David Rodríguez.

Castro created Alternatino as a web series before developing it into a sketch-comedy show. In interviews he has discussed using varied characters to explore Latino representation and everyday stereotypes.

His film work includes The Menu and Matchbox: The Movie. In the latter he plays Ted, one of the childhood friends drawn into an international adventure.
