David Schwimmer's Journey Beyond Ross Geller

When Friends wrapped up its legendary 10-year run, the cast members didn't just disappear—they kept shining bright in both film and television. Schwimmer, in particular, has been flexing his dramatic muscles. He received widespread acclaim for his role as Robert Kardashian in the gripping limited series The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, even earning an Emmy nomination for his performance. But guess what? Before he became the lovable paleontologist Ross, Schwimmer was actually making waves in the drama world. He starred in five episodes of L.A. Law, four episodes of NYPD Blue, and even had a role in the critically acclaimed Band of Brothers. So, it’s safe to say that Schwimmer has always been a versatile actor, ready to take on any challenge that comes his way.
