I played the daughter of a famous wrestling agent. “It was a dream come true getting to work in Mexico with Jack Black and (director and writer) Jared Hess, who did Napoleon Dynamite. The funny lady had the time of her life working on the wacky luchador wrestler comedy film Nacho Libre starring Jack Black.

I’m hoping maybe something like a love interest for her happens this season.”īefore securing her first role as a series regular with The Mick, Jimenez did lots of recurring roles and guest starring in popular sitcoms like FOX’s Raising Hope, ABC’s Desperate Housewives and NBC’s Last Man Standing. They tell me they like that she says what they are thinking. They’re really behind Alba just cutting loose, and I got one of the best responses with the episode when she was singing The Lion Sleeps Tonight and smoking pot. “Fans have told me that they love that Alba parties.
“People like when she just goes bananas over the top,” Jimenez says. This season, Jimenez promises more outlandish hilarity dished out from Alba, who in the first season smashed a cop in the head with a glass, got drugged by her BFF Mickey and wound up stuck on a raft wearing a maid outfit. Alba isn’t as responsible as you’d think she should be! She’s just human she makes mistakes like everyone else and that’s what’s so funny about her.” Then to take someone who was very meek - because she’s kind of ignored - to now having her kind of letting loose has been really fun to grow her character like that. It’s fine that she’s a maid, but that’s not who she is, that’s just what she does. “They get the credit for Alba being on the frontline. “Dave and John Chernin created the show and felt that they knew what people would expect, and they wanted to take Alba in a whole new direction,” Jimenez says. While the portrayal of a maid in film and television is often relegated to a supporting or background role, Alba stands out as a lead in The Mick, thanks to the intrinsic depth and layers that Jimenez brings to her character, thereby avoiding any stereotype and allowing Alba to be her own person. Jimenez is excited to be back for Season 2, which debuts Sept. The first season of The Mick delivered on the comedic goods and earned extra episodes, and the series landed an early second season pickup. Mickey and Alba become friends as they topple hilarious, outrageous obstacles, while raising the spoiled kids in a new family dynamic. She joins their irresponsible Aunt Mickey (played by Kaitlin Olson), who reluctantly becomes caretaker for her spoiled niece and nephews, while their parents run from the law after being arrested by the FBI for tax evasion and fraud. Jimenez landed her breakout role playing Alba on the series, a live-in housekeeper who winds up assuming guardianship of three wealthy, high-maintenance children.
