How Did David Schwimmer Make His Money?
The 1980s was a rough decade for David, who was struggling to make a name for himself in the industry and find a suitable role that would get him noticed. Until he got a part in the series 1989 ‘A Deadly Silence,’ David was rarely employed and was not getting any acting jobs. However, things changed in the following years, and he fetched good roles in television shows like ‘The More You Know,’ ‘The Wonder Years,’ and ‘L.A. Law.’ Around the same time, he made his film debut in the war movie ‘Flight of the Intruder.’ 1994 was quite an eventful year for the actor as he got main cast roles in the sitcoms ‘Monty’ and ‘Friends.’
‘Friends’ went on to become one of the most iconic television shows on the planet, and David, like his co-stars, ended up making an estimated $90 million from it, which does not include the syndication royalties that can sometimes go up to several million dollars. Since the conclusion of ‘Friends,’ David has starred in several shows like ‘Web Therapy,’ ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm,’ ‘The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story,’ ‘Feed the Beast,’ ‘Will & Grace,’ and ‘Intelligence.’
Apart from being a phenomenal actor, David is also a director who has worked on several television and film projects over the years. Some of his noteworthy directing credits include ‘Little Britain USA,’ ‘New Car Smell,’ ‘Nevermind Nirvana,’ ‘Joey,’ and ‘Americana.’ Interestingly, he has also directed ten episodes of ‘Friends.’ David also owns the Lookingglass Theatre Company and produces a lot of plays through it.
