David Schwimmer who played the famous character Ross Geller in the series Friends says that the show did not have enough representation.
“I really felt like Ross should date other people, women of all races,” the actor told Entertainment Tonight. “It just felt wrong that there was not enough representation on the show.”
He, however, felt that the show was progressive in terms of portraying gay relationships that were not common on television those days.
“It was doing some incredible things,” Schwimmer said. “If you remember the pilot, my character was losing his wife to a woman. The way they portrayed gay marriage and how we as a family made it work, I thought was great.”
Talking about the reunion which was supposed to happen earlier and is postponed due to coronavirus pandemic, Schwimmer said, it might happen in mid-August.
“I can tell you that we are hoping to shoot [the reunion] in August, in mid-August, but honestly, we will do it when it’s safe,” the actor said, adding that it is important to film the episode in front of a live audience. “There has always been a hope that a component of that reunion show will have a live audience, which makes the whole thing really tricky. We are obviously not going to risk anyone’s health by doing this,” he said.
