Since his role in Trainwreck, I've been closely following his career. I think I especially love Segarra's turn as Lance, Brooke's hot and hairy boyfriend Lance. The Florida born actor is a bit of a thespian chameleon, appearing in a variety of different roles in shows including: Arrow, AJ and the Queen, The Moody's and Orange is the New Black.
The Other TwoIn the last couple of years, I've enjoyed the actors turn as Manny from the district on Abbott Elementary. Thankfully Abbott's creator and writer Quinta Brunson loves to hold on to actors who come in and make an impact in supporting or guest roles. Many, like Segarra's Manny, continue to pop back in now and then.
It wasn't the actor's role on the ABC sit-com that inspired this post however, it was my recent viewing of the pilot of the Peacock series Laid. Although the show came out last year, I just caught the first episode, and if you saw it, you know Segarra's turn as Jeffery was a short, but memorable one.
SirensOne of the things I so love about Segarra, something I've seen in so many of the roles he's played, is the joy that shines through. Segarra has a great smile, and there's as joyous energy that shines through whenever he's on screen. I first noticed that smile in Trainwreck, and it certainly shone through in The Other Two and in Abbott Elementary. Hopefully we'll see more of that joy, with maybe a long term series role, very soon.
