David Schwimmer

David, who plays Ross Geller, was born in Queens, New York on November 2nd 1966. Schwimmer was first introduced to acting when he joined a high school drama class. After he completed the course, an instructor encouraged him to attend a summer program in acting at Northwestern University in Chicago. After his graduation from high school he returned to Northwestern, where he received a BS degree in Speech/theatre. In 1988, Schwimmer, along with seven other Northwestern graduates, founded Chicago's Lookingglass Theatre Company - an ensemble of actors, writers, directors and designers dedicated to creating vibrant new works for the American stage. Schwimmer says the company, which is now twenty members strong, "possesses a unique combination of talent, drawing its strength from training in the classics, acrobatics, gymnastics, dance and music." In the debut season (1994-95) of "Friends," David Schwimmer's performance as Ross, a sensitive, hopeless romantic, earned him an Emmy Award nomination as Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. In his free time, Schwimmer enjoys playing softball, basketball, Ping-Pong and poker with his friends.
