MATTHEW BRODERICK - BRODERICK SNUBS SMALL SCREEN ROLE

BRODERICK SNUBS SMALL SCREEN ROLE

Theatre star MATTHEW BRODERICK has turned down a string of big money offers to star in TV shows - because he refuses to swap his New York home for Los Angeles.
The Producers star's wife, Sarah Jessica Parker, became a fashionable feminist icon in long-running hit TV series Sex and the City.
But Broderick insists he's not eyeing a switch from the stage to the small screen, because he's convinced Parker and their six-year-old son, James Wilkie, would suffer if they moved to LA.
He tells the New York Post, "With children that's difficult because I'd have to be here. TV is not an appeal because much of it shoots in LA. I'm a New Yorker since I'm born. It's the best alternative for my life. Out there you're just staring at your wife and child. New York forces you to interact. My father used to say that in New York just buying a newspaper you get three conversations. I don't see anybody in my family picking up and moving to L.A."
