Sol Miranda (Donna Maria Nuñez)

As the last of the Mole Women on this list, Sol Miranda played the cranky and entrepreneurial Donna Maria Nuñez. Unfortunately, she has had only one notable role these days, as a guest star on an episode of Bull and on an upcoming role in the movie Come Find Me.

However, as the founder of the non-profit arts organization, Embark Peekskill, she probably already has a lot on her plate.

Lauren Adams (Gretchen Chalker)

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Where Is The Cast Now? (8)

Lauren Adams played the role of one of Kimmy's fellow Mole Women, Gretchen Chalker. The most loyal to the Reverend, she was one of the most bizarre yet intriguing characters.

Mike Carlsen (Mikey Politano)

Importantly, for eagle-eyed fans, he was most notable for being one of the cat-calling construction workers in Tina Fey's other comedy 30 Rock.

Since the end of the show, he has starred in the movieStanding Up, Falling Down, and in an episode of Blue Bloods. He is also one of the actors returning for the interactive special.

Amy Sedaris (Mimi Kanassis)
