| ~ Schmidt |
Winston Saint-Marie Schmidt (known as Schmidt) is one of the main characters of the FOX sitcom, New Girl. He is an extremely attractive, yet douchey guy, who lives in Apartment 4D with Jess Day, Nick Miller, and Winston Bishop and enjoys decorating, cooking, clubbing, and partying. He works for the mostly-female marketing firm, Associated Strategies.
He is played by Max Greenfield.
Personality[]
Schmidt is a narcissistic, self-proclaimed "alpha male", who sees himself as being greater than he really is. His roommates all agree he's a douche and every time he does something douchey, he's forced to put a dollar in the douche jar. Over the series, this jar overflows with money. Schmidt is very annoying, as he not only has an unhealthy concern for his appearance but is also constantly bragging about his few and laughable excuses for accomplishments in life to his roommates, much to their annoyance. As self-absorbed as Schmidt is, he is also a genuinely caring guy for others, helping out his friends such as Jess and CeCe, when they're in times of distress and is all around a good friend.
Heroic Acts[]
- In "Cece Crashes", Schmidt allows Cece Parekh to stay with him in his room, after she was got dumped/kicked out of her house by her ex-boyfriend. Cece takes advantage of his kindness and tricks him into getting locked on the roof. Cece later realizes how rude she was being to someone who helped her and apologizes. Schmidt forgives her and continues to care for her.
- In "Thanksgiving", Schmidt saves the Thanksgiving turkey from getting burned in the oven.
- In "Bells", Schmidt fixes the broken toilet.
- In "Valentine's Day", Schmidt worked as Jess' wingman, when she tried to tie the knot in a relationship with a complete stranger named Cliff, who she had nothing in common with. The date goes horribly despite Schmidt's assistance because Cliff is just as selfish and rude to her as her ex. Schmidt tells Jess that if she really wants to be happy, she should stop going after that asshole and instead go after someone who actually cares about her.
- In "Secrets", Schmidt gives Nick some dating advice.
Trivia[]
- Schmidt used to be extremely fat and ugly back in high school and got bullied for it a lot. However, he was able to lose all his weight and become very muscular, which explains why he's so egotistical and prideful in his appearance.
