Quinn wants to trace Irish roots on TV

Actor Aidan Quinn is hoping he'll be a part of the new trend in family tree reality shows - because he'd like to learn more about his Irish roots.

The Legends Of The Fall star wants to be featured on actress Lisa Kudrow's U.S. show Who Do You Think You Are? because he doesn't know enough about his ancestors.

He tells WENN, "I lived there (Ireland) when I was three, four, five and six and moved back and forth when I was 13 and in my early 20s. Its like my second home and Im very comfortable with going back and forth.

"I would like to do Lisa Kudrows show, where you trace your ancestry. It would be interesting to see who popped up. I probably have royalty, robbers and mad people who are my ancestors; the whole gamut."
