Gayety's Caitlynn McDaniel caught up with Ronen Rubinstein - aka T.K. Strand and ½ of Tarlos on "9-1-1 Lone Star" - to talk about the future of his character, his new music, representation in the series and the Tarlos scene fans won’t want to miss. Tarlos is the ship name fans gave to Strand and Carlos Reyes (Rafael Silva). But at the beginning of season three, it was revealed the beloved couple had broken up. “I think it is pretty brilliant to watch them hopefully come back together and sort of watch that journey. And I think if it's done well it could be better entertainment than just watching a breakup on screen. I think the journey back is going to be quite beautiful.” The show’s inclusive characters don't end at Tarlos. Actor Brian Michael Smith became the first out black trans man in a series regular role when he became firefighter Paul Strickland. “There's some really really really epic stuff for Brian and Raphael this season that I think the fans are going to lose it for.” Che
