David Schwimmer got his start as an actor when he appeared on the long-running TV series as Michael. While Schwimmer was only in four episodes, he made a big impact as his character marries Karen and the two run off to Alaska together.
Of course, we all know Schwimmer from Friends, where he played Ross Gellar for the show's whopping 236 episodes and gave us some of the best moments from the series like his sweet relationship with Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) and hilarious ones like needing to, "Pivot!"
The show made all six of its recurring actors into stars and we can't wait to see them reunite for the HBO Max Friends reunion, rumored to film later this summer.
Schwimmer had a memorable recurring bit in Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm as a fictionalized version of himself.
In the episodes, he is cast in across Larry David in a Broadway production of The Producers, only to clash against David's character when he learns David isn't a big fan of his dad's cashews and raisins trail mix.
In 2005, Schwimmer was cast as the voice actor in Madagascar for Melman, a neurotic giraffe who is always worried he's dying. Schwimmer also voiced the role for the movie's two sequels.
Schwimmer guest starred as a hilarious character who is recruited by Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) to be NBC's newest environmental mascot, Greenzo.
Initially, Greenzo is a cute way for the network to promote green initiatives, but soon Schwimmer's character goes off-the-rails and starts bashing the network and its executives in TV interviews, resulting in one of 30 Rock's best guest appearances.
This dark comedy is a little off-the-rails but it's a also campy fun. Schwimmer stars as Charlie and joins his friend Gus (Simon Pegg) to blackmail a reverend for money and it quickly spirals out of control.
In this Emmy-award winning retelling of the OJ Simpson trial, Schwimmer took on the role of playing the late Robert Kardashian, who was a part of the dream team of lawyers that represented Simpson.
While the Amazon show only ran for one season, Feed the Beast still gave us a great look at Schwimmer in a different role than we're used to by casting him as Tommy Moran, an alcoholic and former sommelier giving his life dream of opening a restaurant one last go.
After the iconic sitcom was rebooted, we got to Schwimmer join the cast for seven episodes as Noah, a single father who was Internet famous for a moody Twitter account that he ran.
