David Schwimmer has an idea for how to revive the still super-popularThe 53-year-old actor talks about the iconic sitcom starring him, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry and Matt LeBlanc in a new interview with, and proposes a more diverse cast. Schwimmer also says he actively pushed for his character, Ross, to date women of color during the show. Ross' girlfriends on the show included Julie, played by Lauren Tom, as well as Charlie Wheeler, played by Aisha Tyler.
"I'm very aware of my own privilege as a heterosexual white male whose parents were able to pay for a private education for me," he continues, noting that his mother was a prominent feminist activist lawyer."I've always felt a sense of responsibility to give back and to call things out if I see an abuse of power.
"I just don't think it's possible, given everyone's different career trajectories," he says of the cast ever returning to play their beloved characters."I think everyone feels the same: why mess with what felt like the right way to end the series? I don't want to do anything for the money. It would have to make sense creatively and nothing I've heard so far presented to us makes sense."
