Meet The Cast of “Ctrl+Alt+Deport”! Gabriel Martinez

What’s your history with Salsation?
(Gabe lights up a cigarette and takes a drink of the scotch he just poured) Let me tell you something. These Salsation cats are bad dudes, baby.

What got you started in comedy?
I used to play guitar and sing. Unfortunately, I was overweight and funny looking. My mom said to me, “Mijo, if you want to get a woman, get another profession”. So, comedy seemed like the obvious choice. Are we done here?

Not yet, Gabe. The people want to get to know you a bit.  So, what’s your favorite sketch in “Ctrl+Alt+Deport”?
Everyone in the cast is a genius. Were very fortunate to have 10 genius’s in the group 13 if you include Patrick, Hugo and…what the hell’s his name?….Charles.  (Checks his watch) I really got to get going.

What does the future hold in store for you?
(Gabe takes a drink again. A tear drop comes out from under his sunglasses)  I hope to make some of the money back I lost at the “Horseshoe Casino” last year. A lot of people think blackjack is not a beatable game. I’m not one of those people. One of these days, I’m going to start hitting again…you’ll see.

If you could be meet any famous person, past or present, who would it be and why?
Tree Rollins…(abruplty) Can you edit that last part out? I don’t want my wife giving me an a-whooping. Seriously, if she found out I was gambling again. (Interviewer gets up and leaves) Come on!  Give me that TAPE! Get back here!!!
