The Cast Reflects on the Beloved Show Before "Emotional" HBO Max Special One revelation made during the special revolved around Schwimmer's casting — and how he almost didn't do the series. According to Crane, casting for the show, in general, was "really hard" — but they wrote Ross Geller with Schwimmer in mind. "We had seen David for another role for a pilot we'd done the year before," he explained, as Kauffman added that Schwimmer's "hang-dog expression" stuck with them. Listen below to our daily podcast PEOPLE Every Day for more on the Friends reunion. But Crane revealed that Schwimmer "had a miserable experience doing another show" and didn't want to make the move back to television, explaining that she and Crane had "to beg" and "beseech" Schwimmer to come on board. "We assured him that whatever his past experience was, this was going to be different. We promise," Crane said. "And he came on board." Meanwhile, Kudrow spoke about her own experience with Friends during the special and opened up about rewatching episodes of the show with her husband, Michel Stern. "He enjoys them more than I do," she said. "Because I'm mortified with myself." Friends: The Reunion is streaming on HBO Max.
