“They associate me with the person that makes them take the trash out, pays for their college [and] is there to sort of help guide their creative life. My kids are — and I would assume that this is the truth for most quote, unquote celebrities […] — uninterested in that job,” Matthew says.

He adds, “I mean, it's a great job, but at the end of the day, it's a job. And you'd have to ask them that question. But I would venture to say that they don't really consider me in any way, shape or form as an actor. They consider me as their father, and that's all you really would ever want.”

  1. So he’s a guy who teaches them responsibility and contributing the household. Sounds good in my book.

  2. The continuing progression of the character from SLC Punk

  3. Matt Lillard is the actual Goat.

    Keep it up dude. I know you’re here on Reddit just being a good dude.

  5. They probably roll their eyes at him if he dies the Shaggy voice 😉

  6. Imagine if one of your kids suddenly starts thinking of you as an actor and tries to run lines with you and complain about agents all day

  7. No shit Sherlock lol his kids think of their dad as… Their dad.

  8. I love Matthew Lillard. Really hope he lands something huge. He’s so damn talented.

  10. Oh wow he makes his kids take out garbage what a great dad.

  11. Having worked on a few TV shows with Lillard, he is a really friendly and personable guy. Easy to like, easy to work with. Also love him as an actor. Go Matt!

  12. Kinda reminds me how in Jack Black’s monologue on SNL showed his kids, who looked so unimpressed and embarrassed at him, like a kid seeing his dad dance goofily at a gathering.

    Goes to show that with some kids, your Dad could be Shaggy or Jack Black, but all you’ll see is your goofy dad.

  14. Wow, pretty sure most kids, even actors kids don’t care what their parents do for a living.

  15. I also think of him this way, and not as an actor, but I’ve never really known why.

  16. Wow! What a take! Kids view parent ad parent and not professional! Stop the presses!

  17. They’re gonna start training all the nepobabies to say this

  19. Why is this something somebody wrote and then posted around the internet?
