3. David Schwimmer
Friends is probably one of the most successful TV shows of all times. In addition to earning ridiculous amounts of money, the cast of Friends used the show as a launching pad for pretty successful careers in movies and their own TV shows. All except for David Schwimmer, who, as we all know, played Ross Geller.
Ross – oops! – Schwimmer was born in Queens, NYC to parents who were quite successful attorneys, especially his mother, Arlene Colman-Schwimmer, who earned so much money as a divorce lawyer the family moved to Beverly Hills.
Schwimmer attended the famous Beverly Hills High School where, as per his own admission, he was a bully and a troublemaker (hard to imagine, right?). He moved to Chicago and graduated from Northwestern University and soon after has was cast as Ross in Friends. The rest is history and, unfortunately, so is his showbiz career.
