August
27, 2009: Three weeks before the premiere, CBS finally
releases the cast on their official web site. Here's Mick's
bio from there:
"Mick Trimming (33)
Hometown: Los Angeles, Calif.
Occupation: Doctor
Smart, funny, charming and a doctor, Mick
is every single woman’s dream and every single man’s
nightmare. At 33 years old, this Idaho import is a resident
anesthesiologist at UCLA who takes great pride in his intense
occupation. He is highly motivated to do whatever it takes
to win the million dollar prize in order to pay off the hundreds
of thousands that he owes in student loans.
Involved in an all
consuming residency life, Mick’s
pet peeve is when patients, who have neglected their health
throughout their whole lives, come to him with extraordinary
demands. With all of the stress in his life, he candidly
describes his perfect day being one where he is able to sleep
in until 7:30 (or maybe 8:00) a.m. In addition to reading
trade magazines, he enjoys the Wall Street Journal, Time
Magazine and the ones hidden underneath his mattress.
A man
of humor, another one of Mick’s pet peeves is
when people cannot admit they are wrong. He also admits that
the quickest way to get him angry is to throw dirt clods
at him. Definitely a conversationalist, topics that are off
limits to Mick are ridiculous situations that people find
themselves in, and he absolutely refuses to talk about the
sexual escapades of people’s grandparents.
In addition
to his desire to pay off student loans, he hopes to buy a
vacuum cleaner with the winnings. Oddly enough, the wildest
thing he would do to win would be to “give
a homeless person a tongue bath” but he would never
go as far as disabling someone … well at least not
permanently.
Currently, Mick resides in Los Angeles, Calif.
His birthday is May 10th."
