My dad had been an actor... not only had my dad been an actor, but his dad had been an actor, and my great-grandfather had been an actor. And who knows before then?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I thought people would think I only wanted to be an actor because my dad was, rather than because I had an innate calling.
I have an older brother who's an actor and a grandfather who was an actor.
My grandmother was an actress too. In the thirties and forties she was under contract with Universal Studios. Crazy credits, lots of them. My dad was also under contract with Universal Studios. And my first film was shot on the same stage they both worked on at Universal.
I've been an actor since I was a kid.
I knew I wanted to become an actor when I was 7 years old. My dad was working with Alfred Hitchcock, my mom was working with Martin Scorsese - and it was the great summer of my childhood.
My father was a writer and an acting teacher.
My mother was an actress and a director, as well. And my father was a playwright and poet.
My parents weren't actors or studio executives.
I wasn't aware of my dad being an actor when I was young. I remember there was an Australian children's entertainer on television called Ralph Harris and when I'd say my father was an actor, kids would say, you know, 'oh, is he Ralph Harris?' And I had to say no and then they would lose interest.
My parents were both actors; my dad sort of quite early on. My mother acted for a while, and now she's a painter.
