Puppies, Ponies, And Owls? ‘The Mick’ Stars on Working With Furry Co-Stars

“There a lot of animals on this show,” this fact dawns on Sofia Black-D’Elia as she discusses her new role on Fox’s midseason comedy The Mick, “I didn’t realize until today, almost every episode has a silly animal stunt with it.”

At the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour, Black-D’Elia and Carla Jimenez sat down with SuperFan Los Angeles to discuss what it’s like working on the series, and after heaping praise on star Kaitlin Olson, both turned their conversation to their fine feathered, and furred, friends.

Despite Black-D’Elia’s close encounter with a live owl, it was Jimenez who had the truly terrible experience on set. “I found out I was allergic to bunnies,” the actress admitted as her face sunk, “They were the most beautiful, white little bunnies, and we’re holding them, and everything’s cool… and all of a sudden, why is my voice doing this? And why am I coughing?” She kept the sneeze-inducing fuzzballs at an arm’s length to make it through the rest of the shoot.

The Mick airs Tuesdays at 8:30 on Fox. Watch clips and full episodes of The Mick on Yahoo View.
