![]() I’m incredibly proud of them and the hard work they do. I get to watch them grow up physically and grow as actors and people. Sometimes you work on jobs and you have costars you are just so grateful to work with and other times maybe not so grateful, but this is different and so very special. It’s a really special job and show for me. Sometimes I feel like these kids are mine. Jenna is extraordinary and also very different from Harley. So, it’s fun to see her transform into Georgie. They all are, but she is nothing like her character. I would say Georgie (Kayla ) is a phenomenal actress. He is super intelligent and witty and quick with his dry sense of humor and I know the writers write for that. Nicholas he’s like a thirty or forty-year-old man in a smaller body. Malachi is very athletic and is good at anything physical and he’s kind of like a daredevil kid and that’s like his character. I feel like Lewie and Beast (Nicolas and Malachi ) are similar to their characters in some ways. Q) Which of the kids are the most and least like their characters?Ĭerina: Oh, wow that’s so good…They’re all so special and unique as people and they’re also all really great actors. Of course, Harley is always leading us into these crazy and wild adventures, but it’s always worth it in the end. It’s, again, a lot of new characters and a lot of excitement and we come together as a family. Explain what an “Iron Elf,” competition is because it sounds incredible!Ĭerina: It’s like a big, giant, fun, Christmassy sort of relay race that we find ourselves having to sign up for so that we can get where we need to go. Q) In the holiday episode, the Diaz family gets stranded on their way to Abuela’s house and the only way they can get back on the road is to join an “Iron Elf” competition. Our writers are incredible so it’s been a lot of fun. It will have all the same really fun Harley (Jenna Ortega) inventions that every episode has, as well as some new characters. We are exploring lots of different kinds of normal family conflicts and how to resolve them and going to some different and exciting places and locations. This season the kids in real life are growing and changing and they’re growing and changing on the show, too. I always wanted to do a Christmas movie and I’m really grateful I got to do it with “Stuck in the Middle.” It’s the usual big, crazy, family conflict but, of course, with a good family message at the end and all tied up with a lot of love. Q) Season Three starts soon and to kick it off you’re doing a double holiday episode! I know the fans are excited about it so can you give us the scoop on what’s in store for the Diaz family this season?Ĭerina: Yes! We start Friday, December 8 th with a Christmas special called “Stuck at Christmas” and it’s a one-hour special that’s a lot of fun. Diversity is important, but I think we are on the right track. ![]() So, I am grateful to be a part of a show that has a Latino family and shows diversity, but bigger than that I’m happy that the industry as a whole is exploring it. I think that we do have a lot of influence, we meaning this industry, have influence over this country, its people and even the world. I’m actually very proud of the entertainment industry in general and the diversity that’s on television now. ![]() How does it feel to have a hit show that positively reflects Latin families in a time when our leaders are trying to do the opposite?Ĭerina: Honestly, it is so meaningful and I am very grateful. Q) There are not a lot of shows in TV with a large Latin cast. It’s also where the lines get blurred for me because I wonder if that was always Suzy or did the writers know that that’s sort of who I am, and they threw that in there? She’s also emotional and she cries at the drop of a hat at things like commercials and that is something that is definitely me. I can also be over protective of my family and Suzy can get a little feisty when people are messing with her family and that’s definitely something I can relate to. So, it’s kind of interesting that I have them but in a different form. Q) You play Suzy Diaz, mother of seven on Disney channel’s “Stuck in the Middle.” What are some of the similarities between Cerina and Suzy?Ĭerina: Like Suzy, I do love children and when I was a kid I always imagined I would have seven kids.
