Beau Bridges On His New ‘Matlock’ Series And Dad Lloyd’s Famed Comedic Turns In ‘Airplane!’ And ‘Seinfeld’: “He Had The Look Of A Startled Fawn”


Beau Bridges talks about his new 'Matlock' series and his dad Lloyd's comedic turns in 'Airplane!' and 'Seinfeld.'

The actor tells Deadline he has started shooting the CBS series Matlock, starring opposite Kathy Bates in a show inspired by the classic episodic legal drama of the 1980s and ‘90s. As part of the Lifetime Achievement honor for Bridges, the Sonoma festival screened his 1989 film The Fabulous Baker Boys, which co-starred his younger brother Jeff and Michelle Pfeiffer. Beau and Jeff Bridges grew up in Los Angeles, where their father made his career in film and television, starring in TV’s Sea Hunt as a Navy diver Mike Nelson.
