Born to Argentinian parents, Carlos has spent the most time onscreen as Deputy James Garcia on Reno 911!, which aired from 2003 to 2009 on Comedy Central, spawned a movie in 2007 and has returned to mobile phones courtesy of Quibi in 2020.

We talk about all of that, plus how he continues working during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how he navigates debates about race and culture. So let\u2019s get to it!
