Ross Geller Ross Geller Ross Eustace Geller, Ph.D., is a fictional character from the NBC sitcom "Friends", portrayed by David Schwimmer. Ross is considered by many to be the most intelligent member of the group and is noted for his goofy but lovable demeanor. His relationship with Rachel Green was included in "TV Guide"s list of the best TV couples of all time, as well as "Entertainment Weekly"s "30 Best 'Will They/Won't They?' TV Couples". Kevin Bright, one of the executive producers of the show, had worked with Schwimmer before, so the writers were already developing Ross’s character in Schwimmer’s voice. And
Ross Geller grew closer to each other though the competition between them was still visible as seen in the season three episode, "The One with the Football". Ross often comes into conflict with his close friend, Phoebe Buffay. His rationality and Phoebe's eccentricity lead to conflict over evolution, gravity, and whether Phoebe's mother was reincarnated as a cat. It is also revealed that Phoebe once mugged Ross (stealing a copy of the comic book "Science Boy" that Geller had created) when they were teenagers. The two are roommates for a few weeks when a fire forces Phoebe to move into Chandler Bing
