David Schwimmer, who played Ross on Friends, is making good money without having to read any lines.  Schwimmer’s publicist announced Friday that the actor was awarded $400,000 in a defamation suit.  It was brought against a former celebrity fundraiser who told a tabloid newspaper that Schwimmer requested two Rolex watches in exchange for appearing at an event.  E! News reports that the former Friends star said fundraiser Aaron Tonken was “a scheming pathological liar” and accused him of being “bent on castigating Schwimmer and other celebrities by concocting bogus stories…in an effort to justify [his] own deceit and lies.”

Since Friends ended, Schwimmer has been appearing in Neil LaBute’s Some Girls in London.  He came back state-side recently and opened on Broadway in The Caine Mutiny Court Martial. And yes, that was Schwimmer’s voice in the 2005 movie Madagascar where he played Melman, a giraffe.
