star recently took part in an ET “rETrospective” video, in which he was shown clips from some of his earliest TV and film work – including a few he’d forgotten all about.When looking back at clips of a guest appearance he made in the teen drama Blossom, the three-time Emmy nominee was quick to question: “Aren’t I way too old to go out with ?”
Indeed, David quickly worked out he was around 26 or 27 when he was cast in Blossom as a love interest for the character of Six, who the interviewer pointed out was still supposed to be around 14 . “Why did they cast me?” he continued. “What? That is… wait a minute. That is so inappropriate! Who cast me on that show?! I don’t understand. I think I blocked that out of my memory – that whole experience.”It’s worth pointing out that David’s character was supposed to be 10 years older than Six within the storyline, which saw the teenager getting involved with a married ex-con.
He recalled: “I was just a young actor grateful for any kind of work. I was still waiting tables before and after I shot that. That was 1993 and that was Blossom – and my inappropriate casting on that show.”Reflecting on the sitcom’s meteoric rise, he said: “We were all going through it together at the same time, and it was a rollercoaster. It was, at times, pretty scary, and the only other people who could relate were the other five.
“So, it really was a bonding experience, being thrust into celebrity for the first time. And everyone was responding to it differently, but I think we leaned on each other a great deal for those first couple of years.”'It Would Have Made Me A Movie Star': David Schwimmer Names The Iconic 90s Film He Turned Down
