Max Greenfield: “I haven’t seen it yet but that’s way closer to Schmidt.

What kind of guy do you play in What Men Want? This is really about two families in a unique scenario from culturally different places and it gives us all the room in the world to explore.” I don’t think it’s inhibited in any way by a contrived premise. But I think it has the possibility to be a really special show and go for a really long time.

Max Greenfield: “The shows that it reminds me of are shows that I’m reluctant to talk about because they’re legendary TV shows. Again, it’s about joining a great team as opposed to just being like, ‘I want to have my own show.'”ĭoes The Neighborhood remind you of other shows? I knew that I would have incredible teammates. Watching what was available with this show and seeing the tremendous cast and the writing, I knew I didn’t have to carry this show. I was in the incredible scenario of having gotten to see what was done already and eliminate all of the unknowns. I didn’t want to go do a show that was just like Schmidt as a dad and he’s got a kid and then build the show around that. Max Greenfield: “Well, it was just signing onto the right one and one that I believed in. Were you apprehensive about doing another TV series? I’m happy to let everybody else go nuts.”

So, to me, giving other people the opportunity to get the punchline and do the big humor stuff, which is what I was fed all the time on New Girl, I’m very excited about that prospect. The show is as ensemble as I’ve ever seen, but there is an element specifically in the pilot and I think early on where he is a solid family man and is one of the leads of the show, which sort of makes you make more grounded decisions in your choices. Max Greenfield: “It’s definitely something I have to think about, too. I think you get to see these two good-hearted husbands and fathers trying to make it work.”Īfter playing Schmidt for so long, is it nice to play a really solid family man? Then he gets there and he realizes it’s something he should have thought about and it is going to create an issue for him and his family, but his intentions were simply I want what’s best for my family and I want to provide for them in the best way that I can which I think is the same thing that Cedric is doing with his family. The only difference was this neighborhood. It was just like he had in Michigan and he fantasized about this vision for his family and what he wanted to create for them. I’m sure they saw a bunch of apartments, realized they couldn’t afford any of them, and then he found this beautiful house with a backyard. and looked at an apartment near the La Brea tar pits. Max Greenfield: “What I love about the character and his situation in the show is that they’re coming from Michigan. Now what do you like about him since you’ve been playing him? I thought if someone had asked me when I was in the process of making the decision, ‘If you were to see this show on in 10 years and you passed on it, would you be okay with that?’ And I said no.” It feels like an incredible group and one that I felt like had a lasting potential.

To me, it was more this show feels really special.

I honestly thought we’ll figure out the character stuff later. Max Greenfield: “It wasn’t so much the character. What was it about this character that you liked? Henson, and The Neighborhood airs Monday nights on CBS. He also has a role in the gender-flipped comedy What Men Want starring Taraji P. Greenfield joined the show after the pilot, replacing another actor. Greenfield spoke with reporters after a Television Critics Association panel on The Neighborhood this summer. His next door neighbor (Cedric the Entertainer) is not happy about it at all. In The Neighborhood, Greenfield plays a father who moves his family to an all black neighborhood. Max Greenfield has moved onto CBS and into a lot of hot water. Marcel Spears, Cedric the Entertainer, Beth Behrs, Max Greenfield and Sheaun McKinney (Photo: Bill Inoshita © 2018 CBS Broadcasting, Inc)
