They just got it, and were all respectful of one another. I think somewhere within the first week or so, when we realized who were dealing with - Jesse was a great leader, and he seemed to have control of the situation we didn't really have any problems in the cast - it was like, "Oh, now we can just have fun." It really was a fantastic group of actors. Forget about liking them, you just want to go in with a bunch of people who are seasoned and professional and just know the etiquette in those scenes who know that this is not about them, but us as a group. You're doing these same scenes over and over and over again. You have one camera because you don't have any money. A lot of the group scenes seemed endless. You guys all seem to like each other, and that really helps the finished product.This is a tough movie to shoot, just because of the amount of coverage you had to do. There's so much chemistry between the cast. As Josh jokes during one of the film's group scenes, he hates nostalgia, can't stand the present and thinks the future looks even worse. ![]() Greenfield plays Josh, the cantankerous malcontent of the group, who thinks society is headed to hell on an express train (don't even think about getting him started on social media). Before "New Girl," there were roles on "Ugly Betty," "Veronica Mars," "Greek," that reboot of "Melrose Place" and even "The O.C." This year, though, he's becoming a movie star: In addition to a cameo appearance in the "Veronica Mars" movie, Greenfield has featured roles in David Wain's new comedy, "They Came Together" (out this summer), and the Tribeca Film Festival debut, "About Alex." Directed by Jesse Zwick, that film is a spin on '80s ensemble dramas such as "The Big Chill": Following a suicide attempt by the title character (Jason Ritter), a group of college friends (Greenfield, Aubrey Plaza, Nate Parker, Max Minghella, Maggie Grace) reunite after years apart for a weekend of memories, drinking and drama. Thus far, Greenfield has spent the bulk of his career on television. ![]()
