Schmidt exudes confidence. This consummate ladies' man thinks his body is a temple, and he works hard to keep it worthy of worship. But his physical prowess pales in comparison to his mental dexterity and fashion sense. No one can turn a phrase or rock an Irish walking cape like Schmidt.

Schmidt is ahead of every trend and full of surprises. He has "savant"-level scent-memory, a ridiculous karaoke repertoire, mad skills at sleight-of-hand magic, and a culinary mastery that allows him to cook the best Thanksgiving dinner known to man.

On the flip side, Schmidt is frequently taxed with putting money in the "douche-bag jar" for yet another socially inept misstep. He may sometimes offend the sensibilities of those around him, but he doesn't seem to mind.

He works as a Junior Lead Marketing Associate and is willing to don a Santa suit for the company Christmas party - as long as he doesn't feel taken advantage of. Besides, it's not always easy for him to find his footing in a female-dominated office where he has to struggle to even score an invite to the boss's baby shower.
