Schwimmer Quits Acting

DAVID SCHWIMMER has turned his back on acting – to concentrate on his career as
a director.

The former Friends star is enjoying life behind the camera after making his
directorial debut with 2007’s hit movie Run, Fatboy, Run.

And the 41-year-old – who earned $40 million (#20 million) from his 10-year
stint as Ross Geller on the beloved TV sitcom – admits he was so involved in
the process of making the Simon Pegg comedy, he didn’t even consider taking a
starring role in the film.

He says, “I really didn’t think about acting in it – I just want to focus all
my energy into one thing, directing.”
