Nestor Carbonell stars as Jonas Rey, a wealthy, yet down-to-earth businessman and entrepreneur who is engaged to Dr. Lu Delgado (Rosa Blasi) in Sony Pictures Television’s drama series STRONG MEDICINE for Lifetime.
Carbonell’s other recent television credits include series regular roles on the CBS mid-season drama “Century City,” “The Tick,” as well as guest starring roles on “House,” “Scrubs” and “Monk.”
He recently wrapped the feature “The Lost City,” co-starring writer/director Andy Garcia, Bill Murray and Dustin Hoffman. He will next be seen in the upcoming feature “Manhood,” in which he stars opposite Janeane Garofalo and John Ritter. The project is a follow-up to the 2001 Sundance film “Jack the Dog,” in which Nestor plays the title character.
Carbonell’s other feature credits include “New Suits,” “Noriega: God's Favorite,” HBO's “The Laramie Project” and “Attention Shoppers,” which he also wrote.
Although, he was born in New York City, Carbonell was raised in 13 different
locations across the globe. His father’s job with an international company took the family to Mexico, Venezuela, Florida, Connecticut and London, among other places. Although he enjoyed discovering the cultures of each new residence, his favorite is London, perhaps because he spent his formative years there.
Once back in the United States, he attended Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts, followed by Harvard University, where he graduated with a degree in English. It was at Harvard that he discovered his thespian talent: a first-year drama course led to his performing in a number of school plays. In addition to starring in the Harvard productions of “Extremities,” “A View From a Bridge,” “House of Games,” and “The Tempest,” Carbonell has appeared in the off-Broadway production of the two-person play, “A Silent Thunder” and “The Doctor is Out” at San Diego’s Old Globe Theatre. Carbonell currently lives in Los Angeles, with his family.
