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 $40m (€25m) 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.
