Aside from Friends, Schwimmer has worked both behind the camera and on other TV shows such as Curb Your Enthusiasm, 30 Rock, and more. But his role as Ross Geller seemed to overshadow his other work.

"On the one hand, I'm typecast, or there is the danger of being seen or believed as that one character. On the other hand, it was a piece of pop culture and television history and it provided financial security... There's not a day that goes by that I'm not grateful," Schwimmer told Los Angeles Times in 2016.
