A man accused of being a thief who went viral for his resemblance to Friends actor David Schwimmer will appear in court on Friday.
Abdulah Husseini of Spencer Road, Slough, west London, will appear at Preston Crown Court via videolink from HMP Wormwood Scrubs for a plea hearing.
The 36-year-old is charged with theft and fraud.
After police in Blackpool posted an image of a man leaving a restaurant and carrying what appeared to be a carton of beer cans, social media users pointed out the likeness to Ross from Friends, a character portrayed by David Schwimmer.
Schwimmer responded to the picture by posting a video to his Twitter account of him scurrying through a convenience store carrying a crate of beer before looking up furtively at a CCTV camera.
He captioned the video: "Officers, I swear it wasn't me.
"As you can see, I was in New York.
"To the hardworking Blackpool Police, good luck with the investigation."
He added the hashtag 'itwasntme' to the post.
Husseini is said to have stolen a coat, a phone and a wallet from Mr Basrai's restaurant in Blackpool on September 20.
