Schwimmer Lords Over Little Britain
Niklas Halle'n/Express/ZUMAPress.com
Who knew David Schwimmer was such an Anglophile?
Fresh from his feature directorial debut, the veddy British comedy Run Fat Boy Run, the former Friends star is currently helming the Los Angeles-set segments of the upcoming HBO six-parter Little Britain USA, based on the BBC sketch show of the same name (minus the USA part).
Like the U.K. original, the series will still focus on the adventures of comedians Matt Lucas and David Walliams, albeit in a variety of North American settings. Production is currently underway in North Carolina.
Guest stars appearing in Schwimmer's segments so far have included Rosie O'Donnell and Sting.
Schwimmer, who also directed the occasional episode of Friends, got decent reviews for his effort on Run Fat Boy Run, but the tale of a commitment-phobic schmoe, played by Simon Pegg, who enters a marathon to win his awfully hot girlfriend back wasn't as well received as the recent Pegg-starring indie sleeper hits Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.
