as well. He was not initially eager to follow in his father's
footsteps and has stated, "I kind of denied it [acting] throughout my
childhood because my dad was an actor and he was never around. He had
to feed 10 kids, he was always working, so to me acting was never
connected to something good, and I had never realized what an art it
was. I thought it was just playtime."
