Actor Max Greenfield to visit NMU

Northern Michigan University's Platform Personalities organization will host actor Max Greenfield of "New Girl" and "The Neighborhood" at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 7, in the Northern Center Grand Ballroom.

Greenfield is an Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated actor best known for his iconic role as Schmidt in the hit comedy series "New Girl." His portrayal of the fast-talking, sharply dressed, and hilariously self-assured character earned him widespread critical acclaim and a devoted fan following. He currently stars as Dave Johnson in the CBS sitcom "The Neighborhood," opposite Cedric the Entertainer, and will appear in season four of "The White Lotus."

Recent credits include Netflix's "Running Point," opposite Kate Hudson, "First Time Female Director," alongside Amy Poehler, and Jerry Seinfeld's "Unfrosted."

On the film side, Greenfield appeared in "Promising Young Woman" opposite Carey Mulligan, "What Men Want" with Taraji P. Henson and "The Glass Castle" alongside Brie Larson.

Beyond the screen, Greenfield is a bestselling children's book author. His debut, "I Don't Want to Read This Book," was followed up with "I Don't Want to Read This Book Aloud" and "This Book Is Not a Present."

Platform Personalities is a student organization dedicated to bringing educational, motivational and inspirational speakers to campus. At this event, attendees will have the opportunity to listen to, interact with and ask questions of Greenfield.

General admission tickets to the event are available free for NMU students (one per ID) and will go on sale to the general public for $5 on Friday, March 27. They can be purchased at tickets.nmu.edu.
