John Miller’s daughter, Violet, has a cameo in his girlfriend Jennifer Garner’s Netflix comedy Family Switch, Us Weekly can reveal.
Violet appears as a teenage violinist in an orchestra in the flick. According to sources, Garner, 51, “offered [Violet] the opportunity” to play the part in Family Switch, which Garner also produced.
“Jennifer thought it was a great idea. Violet even auditioned,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “John is definitely encouraging his daughter to go into acting because Jennifer loves it so much. Her artistic influence is really strong.”
Family Switch, which dropped on Netflix on Thursday, November 30, follows a family of five who swap bodies after an unexpected encounter with an astrological reader. After trading places, the brood team up to conquer one another’s work meetings, a college interview, a soccer tryout and a chance to land a record deal. The film, which was directed by McG and based on Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s book Bedtime for Mommy, also stars Ed Helms, Emma Myers, Brady Noon and Rita Moreno. Violet’s character, according to IMDb, is named Emma.

She continued: “But, I’ll work at my kids’ school serving lunch or working in the library and I cannot believe how different it is. The amount of energy that they are dealing with [and] the amount of work they are putting out every day, and I also think that they could not imagine my life. You can’t really tell that story without walking in each other’s shoes and what’s more fun than a body-switch movie?”
