Jason Ritter Says Dad John Ritter Was ‘Mistaken’ for Matlock’s Beau Bridges ‘All the Time’


Jason Ritter said that fans would often 'mistake' his late father, John Ritter, with his Matlock costar Beau Bridges when he was younger.

At the Matlock panel at PaleyFest on Sunday, March 23, Jason, 45, opened up about Beau’s addition to the star-studded cast and his connection to the actor. One time my dad got a fan letter from someone who listed all these things he’d done, performances they’d loved and said ‘can you please sign the enclosed picture’ it was a Beau Bridges photo. Jason said that he had met Beau prior to working together on Matlock with Kathy Bates, Skye P. Marshall and David Del Rio.
