The 57-year-old actor shared during an appearance on the "Origins with Cush Jumbo" podcast that he had been offered a role in the 1997 hit, "Men in Black," but he ultimately passed on the opportunity. Host and actress Cush Jumbo assumed that Schwimmer passed on the film due to a scheduling conflict with his smash TV series, but the actor refuted that idea.
