It's graduation month for celebrity offspring around the country, with the latest to engage in the pomp and circumstance being none other than James Wilkie Broderick.
The 22-year-old is the son of Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, the oldest of their three children (they also share twin daughters Tabitha and Loretta, 15).
James is now officially a graduate of Brown University as a Classics major, although seeks to follow in his parents' footsteps as an actor, even making his screen debut earlier this year alongside his father in the CBS show Elsbeth.

James reposted a photograph shared by a friend on his Instagram Stories, showing him walking with the rest of his class in a cap and gown atop a spiffy suit and tie with white sneakers.
The budding actor is joining other celebrity children who also graduated from the Ivy League over the weekend, including Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones' daughter Carys Douglas, and George Stephanopoulos and Ali Wentworth's older daughter Elliott Stephanopoulos.

James' proud parents have opened up about his desire to pursue their craft as well, with Matthew recently telling People that he "is gonna try, yeah. He's very smart," adding that his schooling definitely helps. "He has a really good education too, so he has a lot of different things he can do, but I think right now he likes acting."
The Ferris Bueller's Day Off star also explained that both he and the Sex and the City actress were present to offer advice and assistance, with the latter even running lines with James and helping him with audition tapes.

He previously also told the publication he was "so proud and happy to work with my son James" on their episode of Elsbeth, which was released earlier this year.

However, as for their daughters? It looks like it's a strict "no" for at least one of them when it comes to acting, with Matthew saying she's "repelled" by the mere idea of it. "If you say, 'What about you?' She says 'Nope, no absolutely not,'" he joked to the publication.
