Sanchez said to lose his Westchester accent
Greenfield is a successful actor now, but his career started rough. After his freshman year, he dropped out of college and came to Los Angeles at age 18.
The New Girl star received his first job a year later in Undressed but had problems obtaining roles because of his Westchester accent.
When he played Schmidt on New Girl, he still had an accent, but it helped him win over viewers.
Greenfield would change his voice when nervous, especially during auditions. Schmidt’s attempts to hide his accent generated a characteristic accent.
