Duane Hopwood (2005)

David Schwimmer, a famous American actor who plays the paleontologist Ross in Friends, plays an alcoholic casino owner in his new film Duane Hopwood. Duane Hopwood, played by Schwemer as a casino manager in Atlantic City, is shown at the St. Dennis Film Festival this week. Alcohol addiction made a mess of the life of the middle-aged man named Duane Hopwood, and his wife left him and tried to deprive him of the right to visit his two daughters. Introduction: Hopwood is another alcoholic image on the screen recently after Ray Milland's lost weekend and Nicholas Cage's far from Vegas. "I want to try some characters I'm not familiar with, and Hopwood seems to be a very different character from Ross," Schwimmer said in an interview. " In fact, the St. Dennis Film Festival has become a "testing ground" for many movie stars to change their styles. British actor Pierce Brosnan, famous for his role as James Bond, plays a bad-tempered character in the new film Matador released at the film festival.
