Titolo: Schwimmer a Broadway

It's been two years since Central Perk served its last latte, which
means that right about now, Ross and Rachel, toddler Emma in tow,
would probably be joining Chandler and Monica in the 'burbs. But David
Schwimmer – who played Ross Geller on Friends – is back in New York
City, making his Broadway debut May 7 in the WWII military drama The
Caine Mutiny Court-Martial.
During a break from rehearsals, the actor spoke with PEOPLE's Alexis
Chiu about keeping up with his Friends, planning for fatherhood and
turning – no way! – 40.
THE ANTI-ROSS Although he's a theater vet who has acted onstage in
Chicago and London, "there's a certain amount of healthy terror" in
making his Broadway bow, says Schwimmer – "Schwim" to his pals.
To prepare for his role as a U.S. Navy attorney in the play based on
the 1951 Herman Wouk novel, Schwimmer sought input from his parents,
retired lawyers Arthur and Arlene, both 65. "This character is
incredibly intense, smart and straight-ahead, instead of a soft, wet
puppy like Ross," says Schwimmer's pal and castmate Joe Sikora. "This
guy will slice you down. People are gonna be shocked."
FADING FRIENDS "I like having some distance from that 10-year chapter
– I can appreciate it more," Schwimmer says of leaving Friends behind.
"Do I miss it? I miss the rehearsal process with that group of actors
and writers. I miss the joking around, the friendships."
As for keeping in touch, "I talked to Courteney (Cox Arquette) today,
but I haven't seen her in quite a while. Had lunch with Matt LeBlanc
last week. Ran into Matt Perry a few weeks ago at a party. It's when
we can. Everyone's got such different lives, both personally and
professionally. It's tough."
MONEY MATTERS "There's nothing I do now that I don't feel incredibly
passionate about," the actor says of his savings from those $1
million-per-episode Friends paychecks – including helping a pal
produce his first short film. He also supports his longtime cause, the
Rape Treatment Center of Santa Monica, as well as the Lookingglass
Theatre Company in Chicago, which he cofounded in 1988. Schwimmer also
acted on the London stage last year in the drama Some Girl(s).
One big post-Friends splurge: "I finally found a great apartment in
New York and spent some time doing it from the ground up. I looked at
it as a big creative art project."
CARD SHARK Acknowledging that his friends tease him for being "so
competitive – at everything," Schwimmer deals into a regular
Monday-night poker game in L.A. and is eager to join buddy Hank
Azaria's game in Manhattan. Another talent? "He's a major dancer,"
says actress Saffron Burrows, a friend. "He's got a cute little bum
wiggle."
THE DADDY TRACK Because of his frequent travels, his year-and-a-half
relationship with model (and a runner-up for Miss Hawaii in 2005)
Rochelle Ovitt, 27, "has been off and on," says Schwimmer. (It's
currently on.) Approaching a milestone birthday – he'll turn 40 on
Nov. 2 – he's thinking hard about the future.
"I still want to work with people like (director) Mike Nichols," he
says. Also, "I would love a dog. I think it's gonna have to wait until
I settle down and have a family."
When might that be? "It will happen when it feels right," he says.
"Maybe part of me is waiting for myself to slow down a little and be
ready to stay put. I’m confident it's gonna happen."
