The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview CARLA JIMENEZ of FOX TV's THE MICK.
Carla is currently starring alongside Kaitlin Olson on Fox's hit show “The Mick.” The series, which was recently renewed for a second season, follows Olson's debauched character Mickey who is stuck raising her ultra-wealthy niece and nephew in Greenwich, CT. Carla's breakout role as Alba, the live-in housekeeper, has shattered the stereotype of a Latina maid on TV. The relationship between the two leads Carla and Kaitlin has invoked comparisons to "I Love Lucy", with Carla the "Ethel" to Kaitlin's "Lucy."
Born and raised in Simi Valley, California, Mexican-American actress Carla Jimenez cut her teeth in the entertainment industry from a young age. After honing her talents in musical theater, Carlalanded her first professional job straight out of high school when she was cast in a production of “South Pacific.” During this production she was scouted by an agent and from there delved further into television acting where she discovered her true niche and comedic chops. Since her start in television, Carla Jimenez has brought incredible depth to what could have been a tired stereotype. Throughout her acting career she has played six nurses, at least one maid, and three characters named 'Rosa' on sitcoms and films like ABC's "Desperate Housewives," FOX's "Raising Hope," NBC's "Last Man Standing,” “The Mindy Project, “Bones,” LADY IN THE WATER, ACCEPTED, and the comedy film NACHO LIBRE, among many others. She has also more recently appeared as a guest star in Netflix’s “Santa Clarita Diet" and "Fuller House".
