In 2012, he rebutted two longstanding rumors: one that he appeared as a soldier on a train in ''[[Biloxi Blues (film)|Biloxi Blues]]'' (1988), saying, "No. I don't know why that's on [[IMDb]], but I never was in that" (the credit has since been removed), and the other that he is related to dancer [[Lacey Schwimmer]], saying, "No, not at all. Please set the record straight. I guess it's a natural assumption because we have the same last name, but no. I've never even met her".<ref name=newsday>Schwimmer, in {{cite news|url=http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/celebrities/david-schwimmer-talks-madagascar-3-europe-s-most-wanted-1.3753112 |author-link=Frank Lovece |last=Lovece |first=Frank |work=[[Newsday]] |title=David Schwimmer talks 'Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted' |date=May 31, 2012 |access-date=June 4, 2012 |archive-date=June 15, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120615184914/http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/celebrities/david-schwimmer-talks-madagascar-3-europe-s-most-wanted-1.3753112 |url-status=live }}</ref>
