Matt LeBlanc turned down 'Modern Family'

Actor Matt LeBlanc has revealed he was offered the role of Phil Dunphy in "Modern Family" but turned it town because he didn't think he was a good fit.

The 50-year-old actor said he was offered the part, which eventually went to Ty Burrell, in 2009 when his "Friends" spin-off "Joey" had come to an end.

But he didn't take it up as he was enjoying his time out, reported USA Today.

"I remember reading it thinking, this is a really good script, but I'm not the guy for this.

"I'd be doing the project an injustice to take this. I know what I can do, I know what I can't do. Plus, I'm having too much fun laying on the couch," LeBlanc said.
