Judy Greer reveals she turned down audition for role of Claire Dunphy on Modern Family

Judy Greer revealed she turned down an audition for the role of Claire Dunphy on "Modern Family." At the time, she was hesitant about playing a mother of three on a long-running TV show, as she did not want to be seen as "America's mom." Greer explained that she was focused on her film career and felt the role would limit her opportunities. She was also not interested in having children, which influenced her decision to pass on the audition. The role ultimately went to Julie Bowen, who became well-known for her portrayal of Claire Dunphy on the hit sitcom. Greer's choice reflects her desire to explore diverse roles in her acting career.
