I was born in that family. So I don't know the difference between born as an actor's son and not being an actor's son. I never knew whether it was good or bad.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've never really felt like I was a child actor. Just an actor who happened to be quite young.
I was born a character actor.
I was never really a child actor. I was working sporadically in indie films in Pennsylvania, but I was still living at home.
I thought I could never be the actor Dad was, so I avoided it for a while.
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.
I was the first actress in the family, and I am still the only actress in the family. I shouldn't be saying it, but it slipped out!
Hollywood was a detour, although my mother was an aristocrat from Tokyo who ran away to join the theatre, so acting is in my genes.
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?
I didn't grow up knowing actors' names, and my parents weren't theater people.
I was never a child actor. I was a child performer.
