David Schwimmer is 'so thoughtful about everything he does'
'Goosebumps' showrunner Hilary Winston has opened up on David Schwimmer's process with choosing a role.
David Schwimmer is "so thoughtful about everything he does".
The 'Friends' actor takes the lead as botanist and divorce dad Anthony Brewer in the second season of Disney+ anthology series 'Goosebumps', and showrunner Hilary Winston has admitted it wasn't an instant sell, given how much thought he puts into his roles.
She told SFX: "I don't you think ever get Schwimmer with just a, 'Yes, I'll do it.' He is so thoughtful about everything he does.
"Part of casting is you're also making sure that this is a relationship that goes both ways."
She revealed the 58-year-old star had "smart" questions about his role and the show as a whole, and he threw himself into his alter ego.
He added: "Right away, David's questions were so smart about the character and about the show. His ideas and suggestions were so smart.
"And he got really into researching botany [the character's science speciality], which was cool."
Executive producer Rob Letterman explained how David's experience as a director and filmmaker was a massive help for the team.
He said: "He's also directed and he's a storyteller, so he really came at it at a very high level, which was very helpful for us with our crazy schedule.
"I mean, this is a hard show to make because basically each episode is a movie. It's hard to amortise anything across it, so it's always run and gun."
