Fans of the crime drama “The Glades” know that there’s always much more to a crime scene then meets the eye. And crime solving just happens to be the task that Carlos Gomez – who plays Dr. Carlos Sanchez – tackles in every episode, albeit with a hefty dose of sarcasm and jokes that reflect the way the show’s cast members feel about each other off-camera.

“The best part about being on the show is that I get to go to work every day with friends and laugh,” says Gomez, who grew up in Miami, Florida where the show is filmed. “It’s been like that from day one. We’ve all meshed and that sense of family, of tight-knit relationships you see on the show is real – on the weekends I take everyone around, we go salsa dancing, eat Cuban food. It’s amazing.”
