"For me, the No. 1 role I will ever play is to be a father," the 44-year-old said in a new interview.
Since the That '70s Show alum is such a family-oriented guy, he made sure while filming Your Place or Mine he could be closer to home, which resulted in a pay cut.

As for whether or not the pair's two kiddos will go into the industry just like their famous parents, it's yet to be seen.
"I don't think they've ever expressed an interest in [acting]. If they ever did, I'd be fine with it. They're going to do what they're going to do," he revealed.
He added, "And I have no hubris about the notion that I have any control over what they choose to do. I just hope that I can make them really good decision-makers."
