There’s manager Timmy ; Eliza , who is recently separated from her husband and is also Timmy’s longtime crush; eccentric Connie ; ditzy Hannah ; and Carlos Herrera , an immigrant who learned English by watching movies and dreams of being the next Quentin Tarantino.RICARDO HUBBS/NETFLIX“The show has a lot of heart and it’s hysterical,” said Alvarez. “I enjoyed everyone [in the cast] but especially Madeline, since we’re around the same age. We connected and formed an amazing friendship.
Alvarez, who grew up in The Bronx and is Cuban and Puerto Rican American, said he could relate to his character’s backstory. “He’s dealing with his parents being immigrants, and my dad is an immigrant. I’m familiar with the pressure that immigrant parents put on their children, which is something that Carlos deals with,” he said.

I find with a lot of queer characters, their queerness defines their storyline,” he said.
“A lot of my friends are in careers that they’re not necessarily happy with. That’s something Carlos is dealing with. He’s studying to become an accountant and is like, ‘Should I stay the course or do something I love?’ I think that’s a question every human being has to ask at some point. ‘Do I go for what sets my heart on fire, or do I go with what’s safe, and what I know is secure?’ I find that dilemma to be very interesting, especially at this age.
