David Schwimmer, who made his name playing the lovelorn Ross in Friends, he is to fulfil a lifelong ambition by starring in a play on London's West End.
Schwimmer will take the lead role in Some Girls, a new play by Neil LaBute, at the Gielgud Theatre in May.
During the 13-week run, Schwimmer will play an emotionally crippled womaniser who is engaged. But before he proposes, he decides to revisit 4 ex-girlfriends - and the encounters are far from healthy.
Schwimmer said of the play: 'In some ways it is easy to make the commitment on paper or in public - but it's making the choice in your heart that counts. The play is funny and dark - it's all about the hurt that people go through. Neil uses this man to represent a self-centered point of view which, when we come down to it, everyone has.'
Schwimmer added: 'I've never been married or engaged but at this time of my life this play speaks to me about something I and my contemporaries are going through and have gone through. It's about relationships and the choices people make, learning to live with those choices, and recovering from the damage done when those choices go wrong.'
Some Girls is previewed from 12 May and runs until 13 August.
