David Schwimmer Dr. Ross Geller as Dr. That the path in question was one he had so explicitly not chosen for himself allows Chandler to operate, in Friends , as the character whose job earns him the most and gains him the least. The other friends get frustrated with their work, definitely. Romance, any rom-com will tell you, is made more fulfilling by the challenges to it that arise along the way. It finds Rachel coughing her way through a fictional nicotine addiction to get face time with her smoker boss.
These are dues the friends happily pay, though, because their professions give them so much in return. Monica, Ross, Phoebe, Joey, and Rachel are thus happy to be defined by their work. They have the luxury of answering the many What do you do? Take Rachel. My pony was sick! And then Rachel gets a job whose main benefit is its geographical convenience: She becomes a waitress at Central Perk. I wiped tables for it! I steamed milk for it! This is classic Friends. Here is the show nodding dutifully to the notion of financial struggle while cleansing its world of the inconvenient anxieties of true financial need.
Her very disappointment at the meager number is played for woozy romance: It represents the path through which Rachel Green, princess no longer, will eventually find her professional calling. It represents freedom. It represents the fantasy. In that pilot episode, the friends cheer, spectators in an extremely specific sporting event, as, one by one, Rachel cuts the credit cards that had enabled her prior complacencies. He called this phenomenon—both an economic premise and a psychic mode—workism.
He seems to find people irrational if they won't conform to his point-of-view. Ross' immaturity was more emphasized and apparent at the beginning of his and Rachel's romantic relationship in which he began spending if possible even more time at Monica's apartment and their relationship reverted back to when they were teenagers, which in the same episode Monica reveals she hated him during their youth.
However, this isn't unique to one particular episode and they have at times shown traits of typical sibling relationships even at their adult age throughout the series; for example rash outbursts, competitiveness, and physical confrontations. Perhaps the cause of his immaturity is his parents. As he was the favored and "academically gifted" child who received the more credit and praise in comparison to Monica, some may say he can't always be blamed for his enlarged ego, although he is an adult and has to take responsibility for his actions.
Also, he doesn't respond well when his parents don't give him the acknowledgment they usually do and was clearly distraught over Jack's Porsche being given to Monica as a peace offering for ruining her childhood memories, claiming that he was a "medical marvel.
He framed Chandler for making him smoke marijuana in college and when this was revealed in " The One Where Ross Got High ", he refused to tell Jack and Judy, despite it being years ago and that he had not done so since.
He once considered informing them in a letter simply out of sheer cowardice. Ross, despite being socially awkward, dates many women throughout the series. Due to his unsuccessful marriage to Carol Willick, he started to develop fierce amounts of paranoia and insecurities when it comes to women. Monica states that before Carol left Ross for Susan, he was never paranoid or jealous Due to this, he does not seem to even trust Rachel to be faithful to him and is often prone to jealousy and is quick to suspect his girlfriends of cheating on him.
Most of his dates are disrupted or completely ruined once his paranoia or geekiness get the best of him. These paranoias and insecurities often causes conflict in his relationships; for example, when Rachel began spending a lot of time with a co-worker of hers named Mark Robinson, out of paranoia he came to mistakenly suspect that she was having an affair, when in reality she never considered her relationship with Mark to be romantic.
She eventually becomes so fed up with Ross' jealousy that she announces that she wants to take a break from their relationship, which Ross takes as a breakup, but Rachel didn't mean a breakup.
When Ross later tries to reconcile with her by phoning her at her apartment, he overhears Mark's voice in the background. In reality Mark had come to comfort her as a friend after calling her and hearing she was upset after her fight with Ross, but once again out of paranoia Ross mistakenly thinks he is there to have sex with her and angrily hangs up. Convinced now that his suspicions about her affair with Mark were right and his relationship with her is over, a depressed Ross gets drunk and the sum of the alcohol, his emotional vulnerability and a promiscuous woman named Chloe results in him choosing to have sex with her.
He does not learn he had been mistaken in thinking Rachel had sex with Mark until the following morning when he hears a message Rachel left on his answering machine, telling him she wants to work on the relationship. The pair meet again, only to break up for real when Rachel discovers Ross' indiscretion with Chloe. Ross' jealousy also becomes apparent during his relationship with Emily Waltham, when he fears that she is growing too close to Carol's wife, Susan Bunch. His jealous streak rears its ugly head again when he dates his student, Elizabeth Stevens , and ultimately accompanies her on her spring break vacation to ensure she does not stray.
Despite being financially secure, Ross is notoriously cheap. He gets his hair cut at the bargain chain Super Cuts; steals toiletries and other amenities from hotels and refuses to tip anyone. He is often mocked by his friends about his annoying habits of correcting people's grammar and avoiding straightforward dialogue when nervous.
He tries to convince his friends to act for the best in difficult situations even though such actions may be difficult to carry out. In season 2, he encourages Joey to audition for Another World after being fired from Days of Our Lives , despite Joey's refusal to present himself for a two-line part of a secondary character. In season 7, he buys Phoebe the bike of her dreams but threatens to take it away from her because of her reluctance to learn how to ride it.
When he discovers that Joey has a crush on Rachel, he tells him to tell her about it and go for it instead of hiding it, even though he has problems with the idea of Joey and Rachel.
Above all, Ross can be sweet and loving, however he definitely has a lot of flaws to his character. He is often looking out for everyone's best interests and the most mature compared to the rest of the gang, despite his ego, outbursts, and paranoia.
Ross and Chandler go quite a way back, being roommates in college. They are best friends, not to mention brothers-in-law. Ross was the last to find out about Chandler and Monica's romantic relationship, and at first, he was furious.
But after Chandler told Ross he and Monica weren't just messing around and that they really loved each other, his attitude immediately changes and is very happy for them. Chandler becomes his and later Rachel's brother-in-law when Chandler and Monica marry. Though they are best friends, Ross often comes into conflict with Phoebe. His rationality and Phoebe's self-devised beliefs lead to conflict over the theories of evolution, gravity, and whether or not Phoebe's dead mother has been reincarnated as a cat.
The evening Ross finds out that Carol is lesbian, he and Phoebe almost have sex in the club that is to become Central Perk. Fortunately, they stop before their friends arrive. Despite their conflicts, Ross and Phoebe rely on one another for advice and support.
For example, Phoebe turns to Ross when she has problems with Mike and Ross turned to Phoebe when he wants to prevent Rachel from going to Paris. Ross is also the one to obtain Phoebe a bike after hearing her complain about never having one as a child. Phoebe also reassures Ross that he and Rachel will get together and encouraged Ross to go for it with Rachel in the hospital.
Ross and Joey's relationship in the earlier seasons initially appeared somewhat tenuous and largely existing due to their mutual association with Chandler, with Ross' smarts being a particular source of annoyance for Joey, perhaps more so than the rest.
However, as the series progresses, they quickly grow much closer and become best friends, to the point of even napping together much to their embarrassment when the rest of the gang finds out.
Joey goes so far as to initially feel reluctant of being in a romantic relationship with Rachel due to Ross' potential and eventually factual disapproval, although the latter eventually agrees to deal with it for Joey since it had been so long since Rachel and Ross were together at that point.
Regardless, the two are supportive of each other and frequently attempt to help each other with whatever problem comes, with Joey especially providing aid when it comes to relationship advice. Joey is the one who led Ross and Rachel to sleep together after telling him the Europe story.
Ross is often annoyed by Joey's less-than-stellar smarts, though this is rarely a cause of the rift. Will Colbert , his former high school buddy. They held regular meetings in Ross' bedroom and at school. The last time they saw each other was at Lance Davis's graduation party. Ross and Will are quite friendly to each other despite the time apart but are at odds when Will becomes hostile towards Rachel.
Will gets upset when he learns that Ross went out with Rachel when he and the former had a pact with the club because it had the word "eternity" in it. When the two men reveal the rumor they made about Rachel being intersex and Rachel becomes tearful and upset, Ross and Will smile happily, but when Rachel stormed out, Ross felt guilty at his actions while Will continues smiling. Later, when Rachel tells everyone about Ross making out with the high-school librarian, Ross gets furious and soon decides to get back in the club and high-fives Will.
Will then becomes shocked to learn that Ross got Rachel pregnant but proud that they're not getting married. He tries to high-five Ross again, but Ross ignores it. It is unknown what happened between them after Will left at the end of the episode and is never mentioned again. Monica is Ross' younger sister who has become close to her brother during the past decade. She has also become his best friend and consoles him every time his marriage or relationship fails.
Monica and Ross are extremely competitive, as demonstrated in " The One With The Football " where it is revealed that every Thanksgiving during their childhood they had taken part in a football match called the Geller Cup. This family tradition ended in its sixth year after Monica broke Ross' nose. In their childhood and teenage life, Monica and Ross were also very violent with each other. Monica once hit Ross with a giant pumpkin and Ross once jammed a stick through the spikes of Monica's bike, causing her to flip over and hit her head on the curb.
In their adult lives, they have a close sibling relationship, though if either brings up something embarrassing, the other will try to top it, causing a snowball effect which often ends in Chandler asking "What did I marry into?
Ross is also typically overprotective of Monica. Ross is the older brother of Monica, and he is the favored child of their parents. He was described as a "medical marvel" when he was born because his mother was originally believed to be barren there may have been some discrepancies when the writers came up with the story, as in another episode Jack Geller mentioned that they got married after Judy got pregnant because apparently, the dog thought her diaphragm was a chew toy.

Ross is shown to be an extremely caring and committed father, doing as much as he can to make sure the children are looked after correctly. He gets angry at Chandler and Joey for leaving Ben on a bus in Season 2 , but his playful side also came out when he tricked Monica into thinking she had damaged Ben's brain by accidentally banging his head on a wooden pylon during a game and on Rachel when he pretends to have fallen down the stairs after Rachel taught Ben practical jokes.

He is named after the name on a janitor's uniform worn by Phoebe as she attempted to escape from the janitor's closet that she, Susan, and Ross were trapped in while Carol was in labor.

The relationship is troublesome at first, but the two grow quite close. This lasts until Marcel's sexual drive, which causes him to hump inanimate objects and people's legs, forces Ross to donate him to a zoo. After expressing horror at the thought of giving Marcel to Dr.
Baldharan , a man who owns a non-human animal fighting ring, Ross is relieved when Joey and Chandler inform him that Marcel had been accepted into San Diego Zoo. An underlying joke is how comparable Ross and Marcel's relationship is to that of a live-in couple. Ross feels the urge to see Marcel again but is told by the zoo that Marcel is dead.
But a cleaner at the zoo informs Ross that Marcel has been kidnapped. It turns out that Marcel is now a famous mascot for Monkey Shine beer and is starring in Outbreak 2: The Virus Takes Manhattan the monkey, Katie, who played Marcel, played the monkey in the real movie Outbreak.

He goes to Ross' apartment where he and Mona are on a date. An argument ensues and Mona eventually finds out about Rachel being pregnant from Ross, almost resulting in Ross and Mona's relationship ending.
Greene asks Ross if he has knocked up any of his other daughters lately, which Ross responds no, just Rachel. In Dr. Greene's final moment when he comes out of his room, he gives Ross a deadly look, hearing Ross tell Rachel he's never having sex with her again although it does later happen.
