Scott MacArthur Interview
How Scott MacArthur went from Chicago improv to Fox’s ‘The Mick’
Actor-writer Scott MacArthur fondly recalls attending dozens of Cubs games in 2003, despite an erratic schedule of odd jobs and Chicago improv performances and a broken leg from a stickball incident.
Thirteen years later, MacArthur was back in the Wrigley Field stands for Game 3 of the World Series. He accompanied actress Kaitlin Olson, his co-star on the Fox comedy “The Mick,” which is scheduled to premiere 7 p.m. Sunday.

“They were the nicest seats I’ve ever sat in at a Cubs game, by far. The whole thing was surreal,” MacArthur said in a phone interview with the Tribune. “At some point, (Fox) cut over and showed an image of Kaitlin and I. In that given moment, I was unaware that it went up on TV. I’ve never received so many emails and text messages in my life, like, ‘Hey, what were you doing on TV? You disappeared 10 years ago.’”
MacArthur, 37, said he grew up in Wrigleyville and went to college and graduate school in the Northeast. He returned to Chicago to train at iO and the Second CityConservatory before moving to New York and Los Angeles.
A writing gig on “The Mick” turned into a job playing Jimmy on the show. Jimmy dates Olson’s character, Mackenzie “Mickey” Murphy, a moocher who gets stuck caring for her spoiled nephews and niece. MacArthur describes Jimmy as the “dog that bites everybody, and yet Mickey still keeps him around.”
“I think especially in the beginning, Jimmy is this winner-adjacent and he gets to enjoy the good life,” MacArthur said.
For MacArthur, this job on “The Mick” is a “dream come true” after years of guest roles. He has appeared in episodes of “NCIS,” “Body of Proof” and other series “as kind of the red-herring criminal/murderer/rapist.”
“Any time you’re starting out… there’s a delicate balance of saying yes to everything and say yes to almost everything,” MacArthur said.
He said he started writing by himself in his garage eight years ago, a springboard to “The Mick” writing job. MacArthur’s character was played by a different actor in the original pilot who had other commitments when the pilot was picked up to series.
“Everything just kind of fell into place at this exact moment, and it’s awesome,” MacArthur said. “It makes everything in the last 10 years so completely worth it.”
