A Deal He Couldn’t Refuse
I didn’t see this one coming! Say “Bye, Bye” to the only man who aged as slowly as Dick Clark. Apparently Nestor Carbonell, aka Richard, has taken a role on the CBS show “Cane” as somewhat of a mobster type role. When asked, a rep for CBS said that Nestor would “probably not” be able to even do a guest spot on Lost. I guess no flashbacks, forwards, or otherwise!

I hope that they will at least show us where his character goes. I liked this character… as much as you could like the man who helped plan the mass murder of a whole community.
Nestor also has been cast as the mayor of Gotham City in the new Batman movie.

OK, that pix is not from Batman, it’s from The Tick. But that is our Richard and “Batmanuel” was his character’s name.

I know, this is not-so-happy news to learn. I really like Richard. He added a very interesting facet to the story, since he was an islander seen on and off the island, and we’re not even sure how he did that yet. It will be a shame if TPTB cannot get him back for even a little bit of the story. I can’t imagine how they will do the upcoming conflict between the island and the new intruders without Richard.

There’s no way he wouldn’t be. They’ve developed his character too much. Even if he’s not back until season 5 or 6, who knows. But he’ll be back for sure.
