10 Actors Who Are Actually Much Better Than The TV Shows They're In

8. David Schwimmer - Friends

Rossscene Okay, Friends is pretty popular, and it did rule early evening television for a long time, but now that it's been played over and over it's flaws keep popping up and becoming more and more obvious by the day. Though originally enjoyable, it's a little manufactured in its set-ups and gags, and frankly also kind of stupid at times. On top of that, it's also dated among the rest of today's TV sitcom giants. Face it, even back then it was just too easy as a comedy. But did anyone see David Schwimmer's role in Band of Brothers? Of course you did. It was good, right? He was a completely different character to Ross in almost every way (obviously), which displayed to us all that Schwimmer does have some range. Apart from that, he hasn't done much else - Big Nothing (2006) was one movie he starred in which wasn't too bad, but even in that he managed to again show another branch of his acting talent. Ross is gone, David. Live with it.
