I remember my dad working with me on breaking down my script and writing out a back story for my character and all that stuff.

It might sound cliched, but choosing the right script is crucial. I think 'Badmaash Company' was a very big break for me because it gave me a lot of appreciation from the masses. It made me more confident as an actor.

Initially, it would bother me when filmmakers, script writers, dialogue writers and choreographers tried to recreate a bit of my dad though me.

Unlike a lot of actors, my father encouraged all his kids to go into show business.

I was never really brought into the show business side of my father's life. I guess that's been a blessing and a downfall. But it's made my own work the initiation.

My father was a screenwriter, and I kind of grew up in that world.

My dad was a low budget film director. I grew up as a kid making movies, based on the love of seeing what my dad was doing.

My dad brought 'Clerks' to Sundance 22 years ago, and that's when his career started.

Growing up, my father was a financial analyst for an oil company. He was just a regular dad. And when I would say, 'Hey, come see my play,' he'd say, 'Sure.' He'd see one, 'Oh, good play' - you know, very typical dad reaction.

My dad was a great dad.
