Melissa's children's children, at 5 and 8, are almost At the age you can prepare breakfast for themselves. When the time comes, it will be a help for the busy mother, who also works as the queen of network television.
The actor is perhaps better known for interpreting the detailed stop of the rules. Amy Santiago in the police comedy series “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”.
On Sunday Funday, the people of Los Angeles give us a play per game of their ideal Sunday in the city. Find ideas and inspiration about where to go, what to eat and how to enjoy life on weekends.
But she calls her last role, as a “wild” socialité in the new NBC series “Grosse Point Garden Society”, a “dream of the actor.”
“The experience of playing a socialite means that you are in the hair and the makeup chair much longer than when you are playing a detective,” said Fumero, laughing.
More seriously, the joy of playing his character, Birdie, comes with digging under his surface of bad mood.
“When we know her in the program, she has everything she wanted, and it's a bit like, 'Now what?' And 'Who am I?' And “What do I want?” said Fumero.
Introspection is familiar to the actor, who co-anfila a podcast called “More Better” with his partner “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”, Stephanie Beatriz. In it, they discuss the complicated act of balance between their careers and their personal lives.
But beyond that, really, I assured me, there are few touch stones between her and Birdie. This is how the family -oriented actor would really spend his ideal Sunday.
This interview has been slightly edited by length and clarity.
7:30 am: Sleep in
My ideal, perfect and fantastic morning of Los Angeles is that my children sleep. And when sleeping, I mean they wake up at 7:30 am, which is sleeping in our house.
The ninety percent of the time is really sweet. They enter the bed, they hug, they are all cute. And then, just when you curl up about to sleep because you think: “Maybe we all go to sleep a little more, they whisper in your ear,” Can we get up now? I'm very hungry. Can we have breakfast now? '”It is very nice, but it is also very annoying.
9 am: Tucker outside the puppy
I will take my French mastin Rosie for a walk in Fryman Canyon To get her for the day and I also feel that I moved one Sunday. It is a beautiful walk. It is one of my favorites. It is never super multiplied, and when you reach that rear crest and is going through all mountains, and there are eucalyptus trees … it's so
10:30 am: Surf is up
Let's say this Sunday is in summer, so we are also going to the beach for the day. Every summer, I say that we will go to the beach every Sunday, and then what happens is, at least five or six.
So, after the walk, I will stop and take some sandwiches and lattes of Moon harvestThat is one of our favorites and we go all the time. I will get croissants. I will get its delicious Lattes. I'm going to get a muffin for my son and some sandwiches. We are going to pack a refrigerator and we will lead to Will Rogers [State] Beachthat for us is about half an hour by car. Some people do not know that parking continues to the north once it enters, and that is usually our movement.
We are like serious beach people.
I grew up going to the beach in New Jersey and in Miami. Then my husband is also Cuban, and grew in Miami, so he also grew up going to the beach. I've been on the beach with my parents for eight hours, so we do the same.
We have the chairs, we have blankets, we have a refrigerator and umbrella. We also love to invite friends to the beach because it is always more fun with other families. Adults relax and may have a noon and some fried potatoes while children play and look for sand crabs and boogie board and rocks rise. It is always the best moment.
3:30 pm: Keep children awake
We probably spend half from the trip home trying to prevent our children from falling asleep, because if they do, they will get up too late and hate him. So it's full volume and be like, “Hello! Don't sleep! We will be at home soon. Open your eyes! Look at me!” Basically, be the most annoying parents on the way home.
4 pm: lazy screen time
We get home and depend on how hard the children play, it will be a lazy screen time for all or, sometimes, they jump to the pool for an hour because they are peanuts and their energy is unlimited, especially if they fall asleep in the car. If they fell asleep in the car, their rear go to the pool when we get home.
5:30 pm: Italian family friend
Let's have dinner. Our two favorite family places are Osteria Buca In Sherman Oaks or Pizza In North Hollywood.
Osteria has a really fantastic Italian meal. We discovered them during the pandemic because they bounces backwards, which were transformed their small parking in the back of the outdoor food. They had picnic tables, and they would make a very small menu of some of their pizzas and their spaghetti, and they would have wine and beer. It was the first fun thing we could do in the pandemic, so it was when we fell in love with them.
Pitfire pizza is super bomb, and I say it as a former New York. In general, it has a bomb pizza now. That used to be true …
Pitare Pizza is more like, brick gourmet pizza. It is smaller, and the cortex is really spongy. But it is still crispy, and there are many different combinations. My children love pizza and meatballs there. My husband already loves pizza, and we love the curly collar salad, and they also make double wine spills. So, that is my favorite part. It is a great outdoor seat, so it is very fun to go. Also, many times, we find other families with children we know. It is a very familiar place.
8 pm: Kiddos' bedtime
Then, face home and cool, make bath time and bed, and hopefully from all over the beach and swimming that children leave at 8 o'clock. And then, maybe I can drink another glass of wine with my husband on the couch and just have an hour for ourselves.
9 pm: TV and cold
The children sleep and run to start a show before getting tired too much. We have just started to “reduce”, and it's a little easier because they are half hour episodes.
Every time we try to see a one -hour show, it's like, very difficult. One of us will fall asleep, and it is as if we turn. One night is him, one night is me. And then we have to decide if we want to see it again or if it didn't happen much. We love television so much. We are so tired. We have young children.
