Ok, I know I'm late to the party, two parties actually. Despite hearing how great it was (and it is...) I only recently got around to catching the first three seasons of One Day At Time. Although familiar with the original, I can't remember watching it, but as a fan of Norman Lear was aware of the premise for the show.
The cast are all superb, especially Justina Machado, who I've loved since watching Six Feet Under. The two child actors (Isabella Gomez and Marcel Ruiz) are perfectly cast and fully drawn out characters and Todd Grinnell makes sexy Schneider's frequent apartment visits always fun. Rita Moreno is a little over the top at times, but hell, it's Rita Moreno, so will blame it on the writers.
Season two introduced as to Max, Penelope's (Machado) new love interest. This brings us to the second party I'm was late attending, that of actor Ed Quinn. First off, let's get it out there, Ed is hot, especially with his shirt off, but he is also a great actor who was incredibly appealing and sweet in the role. I'm not sure why I hadn't heard of Ed before, but his long list of credits, starting back in the late 90's, include a lot of shows that passed me by.
I'm guessing many of you know the actor, and former model, from his appearances on shows which include; The Young Americans, Two Broke Girls, Mistresses, Eureka, Jack & Jill and Revenge. I many not have known Ed before One Day At A Time, but I'll be keeping my eye out for him now. I'm also keeping my eye out, and my fingers crossed that the great One Day At A Time will get a season 4.
'You have to realize I was 6’4” and about 210 lbs. Not the ideal height and weight to be a model – especially because the clothes don’t fit. I went over to Europe and I did very well, but I did very well because I shot a lot of commercials. Over two years I shot 35-36 commercials. Then I was able to do the big runway shows. It was amazing being 23-24 running around Europe and going from city to city and actually working and making some good money.'
