As he prepares to welcome twin daughters this summer, award-winning stage and screen actor Matthew Broderick is putting a new spin on Father’s Day for his son!! He’s giving 6-year-old son James Wilkie the best gift of all – guest starring in one of his favorite shows, Cyberchase – the Emmy Award-winning animated math series.
“My son loves Cyberchase, so I was happy to lend my voice to the show,” said Matthew Broderick. “The best part is that I haven’t told him I did it; I’m waiting to surprise him when we watch the episode together. I’m sure he’ll be more impressed by it than any other work I’ve done!”
In this special “Father’s Day” episode of Cyberchase premiering June 19 on PBS KIDS GO! (check local listings for times), Matthew Broderick voices the character of Max who, along with the help of the CyberSquad, tries to stop Hacker from setting out to ruin Father’s Day.
Be sure to tune in and watch it!! it’s going to be great!!
