23 Years Later, Friends' Russ VS. 'Snaro' Mystery Is Solved
THIS IS BRAND NEW INFORMATION!
Friends. The world's best sitcom. The TV show that gave us the poking device, Ugly Naked Guy, Gunther and ROSS GELLER, AKA THE WORST HUMAN OF ALL TIME. Can you believe it's been gone for 13 years?
Right when it first got going it was ALL about Ross 'n' Rachel. Rach ended things with Ross, then started up a romance with Russ (Season 2, Ep 10) - who looked and sounded SO identical to her ex, the gang could barely look at him.
But who played the dulcet-toned dweeb duplicate? Was it David Schwimmer wearing kick-ass prosthetics? SOME PEOPLE ARE STILL CONFUSED:
The show's credits cited an actor called 'Snaro' playing Russ.
So it wasn't ever confirmed, but come on, look at him, that is Schwimmer, right? You'd swear on your hairless Sphynx cat's life... wouldn't you?
We did some digging, and for all those still wondering, it WAS Schwimmer with a fake chin (and heeled boots, it looks like).
'Snaro' was Schwimmer's lil' trick to keep the fans guessing and writer David Crane joked that Snaro was his Croatian friend. It later turned out that Snaro actually was a tribute to his friend, as well as David's alias. There you have it, people, you can sleep soundly tonight!
ROSS GELLER IS A MEN'S RIGHTS ACTIVIST:
Ross Geller Is A Men's Rights Activist
Was Ross the original Men's Rights Activist? It looks like it.
1 of 13NBC/Comedy CentralTOW he makes the Rachel list: Nothing reduces two women like writing a list about their fat ankles and career choices. "Just a waitress”? This is supposed to be the love of your life.
2 of 13NBC/Comedy CentralTOW he tries to win Rachel back: Your lobster? She’s not your property, ROSS.
3 of 13NBC/Comedy CentralTOW his hot cousin: In which he convinces himself she wants him. Who wouldn’t? This is Ross! Even incest looks good with Ross.
4 of 13NBC/Comedy CentralTOW Ben’s doll: ‘Ben is being raised by lesbians. Ben has a doll. BEN MIGHT BECOME A LESBIAN! Must over-correct with an Action Man…’
5 of 13NBC/Comedy CentralTOW he fights with Phoebe over evolution: Phoebe said it all when she called Ross out on his overwhelming arrogance.
6 of 13NBC/Comedy CentralTOW the blackout blinds: Otherwise known as the episode when Ross over-whitens his teeth, then blames his date’s choice of lighting. Ugh, ROSS.
7 of 13NBC/Comedy CentralTOW the Manny: Because no one should mess with gender normative roles, right, Ross?
8 of 13NBC/Comedy CentralTOW he finds out Rachel’s pregnant: He doesn’t whisper ‘entrapment’; he does have a meltdown about condoms.
9 of 13NBC/Comedy CentralTOW Unagi: God forbid women actually feel safe, ROSS.
10 of 13NBC/Comedy CentralTOW he sees Rachel kissing Gavin: And precedes to shame her for having a social life instead of strapping herself to Emma’s crib and accepting her life as a hermit mother.
11 of 13NBC/Comedy CentralTOW he doesn’t get an annulment: Because in Ross’ world, not getting a divorce is better than keeping a woman as your wife without telling her.
12 of 13NBC/Comedy CentralTOW Susan: Look, just because your wife left you for another woman is no reason to become a raging homophobe, okay, Ross?
13 of 13NBC/Comedy CentralTOW the ‘I Hate Rachel Green Club’: Who hates women? Menimists, that’s who. Case closed.
