David Schwimmer ‘Surprised’ to Hear Matthew Perry Once Praised His ‘Friends’ Comedy Skills: He ‘Was Reserved With Me. He Would Not Say That to Me’


David Schwimmer was shocked to hear that Matthew Perry once praised his physical comedy skills on "Friends."

“[Perry] talks about how it’s not out of control at all, that you’re a linchpin person in a scene and that mostly people were always looking to you to know physically what direction things should go in,” Cumbo told Schwimmer. “Yeah, I am one of the few in the cast who had a rigorous theater training and so and in this way, in film or in anything that’s involving a stunt or anything physical,” Schwimmer continued. You could take a straight line of dialogue and bend it to your will, resulting in something so entirely original and unexpectedly funny it still astonishes.”
