David Schwimmer and Jim Sturgess to Feed The Beast in AMC restaurant drama
Much like that string of Friends episodes that left him with a pierced ear and yet another divorce, David Schwimmer has gone from finding comfort with a new English love (that is, sitcom) to once again heeding the siren’s call of an American production, whose names he might have confused at an inopportune time had the latter not recently changed its title. Deadline reports that Schwimmer has just signed on to lead the AMC drama, Feed The Beast, along with Cloud Atlas’ Jim Sturgess. The series comes from Clyde Phillips (Dexter, Nurse Jackie) and was originally known simply as Broke; there’s no indication why the name was changed, but the switch has robbed Schwimmer of a chance to scream “WE WERE ON (A) BROKE” at the Emmys somewhere down the line.
