He looked like he was going to pass out.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[I remember] immediately turning to the camera like, &#8216;Cut, cut, cut.&#8217; That was genuinely frightening. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;You could see how badly hurt he was. And we had to stop filming that night, obviously, and he went to hospital. That was scary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMeanwhile, David is thrilled to have been cast in the second season of &#8216;Goosebumps&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>\nRecalling receiving a call expressing interest in casting him in the show, he said: &#8220;[I felt] genuine excitement&#8230; I was like, &#8216;Wait, what?&#8217; Because I&#8217;ve never been able to act in horror-action-comedy, and I&#8217;m such a fan. I&#8217;m a genuine fan of horror.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe series will see David play botanist Anthony Brewer, who needs to use his science skills to stop a shocking disappearanc from his childhood reoccuring for a new generation.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;Let me start by saying, even within the horror genre, there are so many types of horror. For me, what I love to do is to really kind of figure out, &#8216;Okay, what is the tone here? What is the tone of this project?&#8217; Here, it&#8217;s horror within a certain audience. It&#8217;s geared toward a certain audience. There&#8217;s also comedy, there&#8217;s also action, and there&#8217;s also drama.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;One of the things I&#8217;m kind of in awe of is the tone. They managed to get these good scares.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;But they do it in a way where it&#8217;s never gratuitous violence, there&#8217;s no sexual violence. It&#8217;s not too gory&#8230; they manage to make you feel safe while you&#8217;re getting scared.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/david-schwimmer-recalls-genuinely-frightening-moment-friends-set-1411522.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3 January 2025 David Schwimmer has recalled a &#8220;genuinely frightening&#8221; incident on the set of &#8216;Friends&#8217;.
