| 4 | Best known as the neurotic paleontologist from [[Series/{{Friends}} the sitcom that defined the nineties]] (no, not ''[[Series/{{Seinfeld}} that]]'' sitcom), David Lawrence Schwimmer (born November 2, 1966 in New York City, New York) is an American actor, comedian, voice actor, and director. |

| 6 | Struggling to find work through the eighties, Schwimmer eventually achieved mainstream recognition as Ross Geller on ''Series/{{Friends}}'' in 1994, leading to roles in movies like ''Film/ThePallbearer'' and ''Film/SixDaysSevenNights''. In the early 2000s, he was given a minor role on the highly acclaimed miniseries ''Series/BandOfBrothers'', and in 2005 he began voicing Melman the giraffe in Creator/DreamWorksAnimation's ''Franchise/{{Madagascar}}'' series. |

| 8 | Despite being best known for his acting work, Schwimmer made his feature directorial debut in 2007 with ''Film/RunFatBoyRun'', though he had previously directed some television projects, including a few episodes of ''Series/{{Friends}}'' and its spinoff ''Series/{{Joey}}''. He later directed the 2010 dramatic thriller ''Film/{{Trust}}'' in a severe PlayingAgainstType move. Most recently, he played Robert Kardashian in the first season of ''Series/AmericanCrimeStory:'' ''Series/ThePeopleVOJSimpson'', which earned him his second Emmy nomination since ''Series/{{Friends}}'' in 1995. |
