Tomas Navarro is no longer new to Beyond the Gates, but just when fans thought they had him figured out, the character seems to be heading into deeper, more complex territory. Actor Alex Alegria has some things to share about this.
How Tomas Found His Place
Tomas came to the firm with confidence, style, and a clear purpose. Since he stepped into the role earlier this year, Alex Alegria has turned Tomas into a character that viewers can’t look away from. Whether it’s courtroom drama or subtle flirting in the office, he knows how to keep things engaging.
Right now, fans are captivated by the tension between Tomas and Kat Richardson. Their chemistry has been building for weeks. But it’s not just one-sided, Tomas also has a softer, more emotional connection with Eva Thomas. The dynamic among the three has generated a lot of fan discussion, especially with recent scenes hinting at something more than friendship.
What Alex Alegria Says About Tomas’ Future in Beyond the Gates
In a recent conversation, Alegria gave some insights into what the future holds for Tomas. He hinted that the character will soon find himself in surprising situations, both at work and in his personal life. He also commented on the Kat-Tomas-Eva situation, admitting that it has the potential to develop into a real love triangle. However, he left just enough unsaid to keep the mystery intact.
Alegria mentioned how much of his own energy comes through in Tomas. With a strong background in salsa dancing and martial arts, he said that physicality plays a significant role in his scene work. That presence, smooth, grounded, and always aware, gives Tomas a unique style that stands out on daytime TV.
Before joining Beyond the Gates, Alegria had already appeared on several popular shows, including CSI, Intelligence, and the Gossip Girl reboot. Alegria’s journey to acting began at Stony Brook University, where he was studying physical therapy. A required theater class unexpectedly changed the direction of his life. What began as an academic obligation turned into a calling and eventually led him to the screen.
There’s also rich heritage behind his name. Born in Queens and raised between the U.S. and Colombia, Alegria proudly shared that his great-great-great-great-grandfather was Rafael Núñez, a former president of Colombia and the author of the national anthem’s lyrics.
