“Recently, I’ve tried it out a little bit,” James told ET about acting. “I tried it out and really liked it, so that’ll be great.” That’s awesome! We’re sure it comes natural to him with two famous actor parents!
But at the same time, he’s not putting all his eggs in one Hollywood-sized basket.
“But I have a lot of things that could work out, so I’m not, like, super worried about it,” he added. “I’m still in college… right now I have time to try things out, but when I get back to school, I won’t have a lot of time to, like, do other stuff, ’cause it’s hard.” Smart move!

Matthew Broderick Gave His Son Acting Advice
Image Credit: Variety via Getty Images Broderick, who also shares 13-year-old twins Tabitha Hodge and Loretta Elwell Broderick with Parker, gave his son some advice. And…it’s not what you’d expect.
“Just keep at it as long as you really love it, you know? If you don’t like it, don’t go crazy sticking to it,” he told ET. The advice makes sense — don’t force it if you aren’t a fan.
“I always feel funny telling people, ‘Stick with it no matter what sometimes,’ but people who do stick with it tend to really love it, so I guess that takes care of itself,” he added.
At the event, Broderick was honored with the Father of the Year award. “It just happens, you know? You don’t really know how to do it, and then suddenly you’re a dad. But I’m very happy that that happened,” he told ET.
James, who presented his dad with the award, added, “I didn’t really choose for him to be my dad either, in the same fashion. But I’m extremely happy.”
