Snaro[edit]

(the ep of friends where he played russ and ross). maybe a brief mention wudnt go amiss, or a redirect to the ep of friends. chocobogamer mine 21:48, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, since there's no background behind why he's referred to as "Snaro", it would be best not to include in the article. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:06, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Duh[edit]

"Schwimmer opposes racism and child abuse." As opposed to the hundreds of Hollywood stars who support it? Tsuguya (talk) 03:21, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, this doesn't read correctly at all. Just the way it's worded sounds more like I'm reading a bio sheet from his publicist then a Wiki article. Also, their is nothing to back it up or support it such as a reference or mention of any specific work he does to combat it, hence you could make the claim of his oposition to a thousand things. For these reasons I'm deleting this sentence and if someone wants to redo it correctly and much better go for it. Deepintexas (talk) 12:31, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cousin of Lacey Schwimmer[edit]

As per:

72.82.169.214 (talk) 14:56, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Daily Mail makes that assertion, but she never says it in the article herself. And David Schwimmer is quoted by here as saying this is untrue. --Tenebrae (talk) 08:59, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Acting roles error.[edit]

There's an error in the Acting roles section. It states "Schwimmer received his first acting role in 1994..." The whole article is full of items to the contrary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jibblin x (talk • contribs) 04:11, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed it, thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 06:54, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The reference to Nine Inch Nails seems unfounded? 99.8.137.12 (talk) 03:52, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. Fixed. --Tenebrae (talk) 04:21, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

East Village Building Controversy[edit]

No mention of the East Village Building controversy on this page? According to this article, David Schwimmer tore down a potential landmark in the East Village and is (apparently) despised in the neighborhood.
