@didyoucatchthis: The Time Adam Devine Tried to Upstage Jack Nicholson and Got Kicked Out Before Adam Devine became a household name in comedy, he had a brief and memorable experience on the set of the 2002 film About Schmidt. Growing up in Omaha, Nebraska, Devine worked at a local grocery store where part of the film was being shot. The production, led by director Alexander Payne, used real employees as extras to enhance the authenticity of a scene where Jack Nicholson's character, Warren Schmidt, shops for groceries. Devine was assigned to stack yogurt in the background of a scene featuring Nicholson, an opportunity that thrilled the future Workaholics star. However, Devine’s enthusiasm may have been his downfall. He later joked about how he tried to stand out by staring directly at Nicholson during filming, a move that didn't go unnoticed by the crew. His eagerness to get more screen time eventually resulted in the production team asking him to move out of the shot, effectively ending his time as an extra. While his big break didn’t come from About Schmidt, Devine often humorously recounts this experience as a lesson in humility, long before he found success in Hollywood. It’s a small but entertaining chapter in the actor’s journey from Midwestern grocery store clerk to leading roles in shows like Pitch Perfect and The Righteous Gemstones.
