Funny, talented, charming. He's got it all. And although he did make us all love him as the loveable Ross, there's more to David than that. After Friends, he's proven to be an ambitious filmmaker and actor, having directed a big studio romantic comedy and acted in the West End. He even voiced a goofy giraffe for Dreamworks' Madagascar I and II and played a drunken father trying to get his act together in the indie drama Duane Hopwood. And, last but not least, when the whole world saw him as 'just Ross', he played badass Lt. Sobel in the hit HBO miniseries Band of Brothers. That's David: versatile.
I wish more people could see how talented and great David is. Tood bad, their loss.

If one were to base one's judgment of David Schwimmer's talent on his low-key performance as the anxious, awkward but lovable paleontologist Ross on NBC's smash hit comedy Friends, one might never suspect that beneath the affable exterior lies a versatile, multi-talented actor and filmmaker.Tall, dark-haired, and lanky, Schwimmer was born in Queens, but later raised in Southern California, where he attended the famed Beverly Hills High School. He then enrolled in Chicago's Northwestern University, where he briefly considered pursuing his family's traditional profession and becoming a lawyer, but by that time, the acting bug had bitten him deeply and he was committed to it. Following graduation from Northwestern, Schwimmer gained enough stage experience in Chicago theater to co-found the Lookingglass Theatre Company with fellow actors. Schwimmer remains passionate about his involvement with the troupe and has starred in or directed many of their productions.

When most people hear the name "David Schwimmer", they almost automatically think "Ross from Friends", but David should be known for more than that. He's an amazing director as well, [10 "Friends" episodes, 2 episodes of "Joey", and most recently "Run Fat Boy Run"]. Though David has been stereotyped as "Ross", his range as an actor is phenomenal, and if given the opportunity I believe he will be known as one of the best and most passionate actors of our generation. Furthermore, he proved with "Run Fatboy Run" that he is also a force to be reckoned with in the directorial world as well. David is seemingly a "double threat" in the entertainment world, and I can't wait to see what he does next!

David has great talent. I know him best from Friends, where he played Ross. He did a great job in Friends, and nobody could of played that role better than he did. He is very funny, especially in Friends and I think he has amazing talent. I have not seen him in any movies, but I do know he has a voice role in Madagascar and also in Madagascar 2: The Great Escape as Melman. I'm sure he was great in the movies he did... I have not seen any from what I remember but I'm sure they must be good. Friends was great though, I know that for a fact and Ross was just so funny.

What can I say about this man? He is a very, very talented actor. He has done many movies, tv shows and Directed alot of things. David is best known for his work on the US, TV hit show Friends. He played Ross Geller and he was awesome, he was so funny, and so cute. I loved the way he acted towards the show. I'm happy that he was went far in life, with his acting and also directing. I miss him on Friends, I just wish that was still airing. All in all he is a very talented actor and a very cute one too.

Most people will remember David Schwimmer as dopey Ross from Friends, but he is a lot more than that. He is also an accomplsihed director, directing numerous episodes of friends whilst also starring in them. He's made a few low key films, which were not as good as they should have been, but he himself is an advertising tool for the films in which he stars in. He also starred ni Band of Brothers, Blossom and The Wonder Years (I did not know that) Its a shame he isn't so recognised any more, but he deserves to be. David rocks

David Schwimmer really made a name for himself when he was one of the six stars on the wildly popular "Friends." His sense of comedic timing is very well honed and he always brings a sense of originality to his television and film roles.
