Best known for his turn on TV's Friends, David Schwimmer was the first cast member of the megahit to win an Emmy nod. But, his passions are writing and directing. He co-founded Chicago's Lookingglass Theatre Company and continues to work on the stage and screen, as actor and director.

Born in NY and raised in LA, Schwimmer began acting when he enrolled in a high school drama class on a whim.
