Former delinquent Matthew Lillard to have a Problem Child of his own
Deadline reports that Matthew Lillard will embody John Ritter’s role as a heartfelt adoptive father in NBC’s single-camera remake of Problem Child, the best piece of anti-adoption propaganda since The Bad Seed. Lillard—who won’t recreate SLC Punk but allows more than 20 Scooby-Doo references on his resume—will star opposite Children’s Hospital alum Erinn Hayes, who is returning to NBC after her turns on Parks And Recreation and on Jimmy Fallon’s sitcom flop Guys With Kids. Like the 1990 film, NBC’s TV version follows the adoption of a redheaded monster who is “so bad even the nuns refuse to keep him.”
