Ross Geller
Fans of the celebrated sitcom Friends had a ball when a social media post of a suspected robber went viral. Authorities in Blackpool, England are on the hunt for a robber who noticeably looks like Friends actor David Schwimmer, who played the role of Ross Geller.
Fans of the classic sitcom made the comparison immediately after the picture of the suspect was posted online by police for a crime that occurred in September. The social media post — serious in nature — kicked off a string of jokes about Schwimmer's character falling on hard times.
