The first time my father saw me in the flesh was on the stage, which is a bit weird. We went out to dinner, and he was charming and sweet, but I did all the talking.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I didn't know my father very well; I only met him a few times.
I met my grandfather just before he died, and it was the first time that I had seen Dad with a relative of his. It was interesting to see my own father as a son and the body language and alteration in attitude that comes with that, and it sort of changed our relationship for the better.
My father usually does not talk to me about my films, and it was a pleasant moment when he appreciated me the first time.
My parents met in the theatre, and I thought that was so romantic. My dad was a scenic designer and my mom was a dancer, and that's how they met; they met in the theatre.
I only saw my father twice a year. If I'd seen him all the time I'd probably have murdered him by now. He was very strict.
I wasn't close to my father, but I wanted to be all my life. He had a funny sense of humor, and he laughed all the time - good and loud, like I do. He was a gay Irish gentleman and very good-looking. And he wanted to be close to me, too, but we never had much time together.
I'm a father myself for the first time in my life, and I had very very loving parents.
When I started as a child actor, my father didn't tell me anything.
I had a very vivid, almost hallucinatory moment in which I was engaged in a dialogue with my father.
I was a shy, awkward sort of a boy and my father's frequent absences from home, along with my hero worship for him, made me even shyer.
