Donald Faison calls his “Clueless” character the 'most self-centered person on the planet'
As if!
Co-parenting with Clueless' Murray? Ugh, as if!
At this year's SCAD TVfest, EW caught up with the team behind NBC's Extended Family — Jon Cryer, Abigail Spencer, creator Mike O'Malley, and Donald Faison — and in the spirit of the sitcom about a divorced couple taking turns staying with their kids at the family home, asked which of their past characters would they most or least want to co-parent with.
Faison took the opportunity to rail on his Clueless character, Murray. "He is the last person I think anyone.. that is the most self-centered — more than any actor on the planet — he is the most self-centered person on the planet, so I don't think he'd be a good dad," Faison said.
The actor didn't go into specifics about why he felt that way, but there was that time Murray shaved his head right before yearbook pictures without consulting girlfriend Dionne (Stacey Dash) because he was "keeping it real."

Donald Faison and Stacey Dash in 'Clueless'Cryer, who appeared in the recurring role of Lex Luthor in the CW series Supergirl, Arrow, and Batwoman, said that character was his pick. "I'd have a hard time co-parenting with Lex Luthor. He is a little selfish. He forgets about holidays all the time, and he wants to make the sun red and destroy Supergirl, and he's not a big fan of Superman either, so yeah, that'd be tough," he said, laughing.
For her part, Spencer admits that she would "want Scottie from Suits to represent me, but not to co-parent with," while O'Malley jokes that his pick would be his character Roche from TNT's Snowpiercer, "because he threw one of his kids off the train."
SCAD TVfest, the Savannah College of Art and Design's annual event, returned for its 12th year in Atlanta Feb. 7-10. For more with the team behind Extended Family, watch the interview in the video above.
