Nick Miller

Nick Miller is an apathetic, socially inept, and hilarious bartender from Chicago who has a keen ability for reading people's emotions. He lives with Jessica Day, Schmidt and Winston. Cece implies that he has a huge crush on Jess. He was dumped by his long time girlfriend Caroline and made her jealous after pretending that Jess was his girlfriend. He found "rebound" with co-worker Amanda. At first, he did not like Paul but later became a good friend of his. Nick is the most grounded of all the roomates. He is "good" at fixing things and hates spending money. Nick dropped out of law school with three semesters to go, something the roommates talk about, a lot.

Personality
Realistic and wise-cracking, Nick Miller appears the most "normal" out of the four roommates. He enjoys his sense of privacy and independence despite his inability to effectively function on his own (i.e. cleaning after himself and cooking.) His personality is best described by his passion for jury-rigging anything in the apartment in order to save money and his tendency to stick himself within his roommates' drama while trying to avoid it at all costs. Despite his steady job at Clyde's Bar, he also has a habit of acting he is always strapped for cash. (Although, the fact that the roommates can drink at Clyde's Bar for free might account for that.) He is very loyal; he would drop everything if a friend was in need, like Jess in ''Cooler. Nick has also been known to get help from friends in dire enough situations (whether he wants it or not (Injured'')).
