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".
