David Schwimmer is an American actor and director who rose to fame as Ross Geller on the smash 1990s sitcom 'Friends.'

More than a decade after ​Friends​ left the air and with his new AMC drama ​Feed the Beast​, he's finally ready for the next stage of his career.

David Schwimmer, who memorably played Ross Geller on "Friends," is showing off his dexterity behind the camera, with the drama "Trust," which arrives in theaters on April 1.

Twelve years since Ross Gellar’s last stop at Central Perk, David Schwimmer is back on TV with two big, dramatic roles. But, he tells The Daily Beast, don’t call it a comeback.

The "Feed the Beast" showrunner says David Schwimmer doesn't want to be known as Ross Gellar his entire life.
