Judy Greer Reflects on Turning Down Modern Family Role
Judy Greer reflected on her decision to decline an audition for the role of Claire Dunphy on 'Modern Family,' which ultimately went to Julie Bowen. During a podcast with Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Greer explained that at the time, she did not want to be perceived as 'America's mom' and was unsure about taking on the responsibilities of a mother of three on a television show. Greer noted that she was in her early 30s and was focused on her career, finding the idea of being pigeonholed into a maternal role limiting compared to her diverse film work. Additionally, she revealed that having children was not even on her radar, stating, 'I didn't even want kids.' Despite the show's tremendous success, Greer believed the role would restrict her lifestyle, which included a love for travel and meeting new people. Interestingly, Greer still made a brief guest appearance in the show's first season as an ex-girlfriend of Claire's husband.
