Jake Johnson, star of New Girl, is carving his own path in Hollywood — ditching the blockbuster grind for heartfelt, funny indie projects like his new pickleball comedy The Dink. He misses the mid-budget gems that were just fun, not flashy, and he’s proud to be making them. Still beloved as Nick Miller, he credits that role with launching his career and says he’s grateful — even if he’s not chasing fame. Instead, he prioritizes family, creative freedom, and work that feels true to himself, proving you don’t need a superhero budget to make a movie that matters.
