Nestor Carbonell To Join Psych
Lost's (never) guylined Richard Alpert is alive and kickin' after flying the Island coop, and we've got the goods on what's next for the ageless wonder: Psych!
No, not psych like we're pulling your pretty little legs. Psych, like the hilarious USA detective series. We can confirm that Nestor Carbonell will pop up in multiple episodes when the series returns this July, in a role we can best describe as the anti-Alpert...
Nestor is set to rival James Roday's Shawn in both the work and romance departments. (Pshaw! We love you James, but seriously, is there really any competition here? This is Nestor freakin' Carbonell we're talking about!)
Anyhoo, according to our friends at Fancast, who first broke the casting scoop, the Lost alum is slated to play Declan Rand, a criminal profiler so similar to Shawn, the latter's bestie Gus (Dulé Hill) dubs the newbie Shawn 2.0. Oooh, burn!
Psych returns with its fifth season July 14, so set your DVRs now. You don't want to miss Nestor's triumphant TV return, do you? Two months without his lovely face on our small screens is quite enough!
I've never seen the show before but this is more than enough to get me to start. I love and miss Nestor and need him back in my life. In case you've been living under a rock, Nestor was fantastic on LOST. Will you be tuning in?
