He was just like 'Give it a shot. Whatever kaleidoscope you want to look at life through, if it feels good, do it.' " He further talked about how he was initially hesitant to take his father’s help in acting.

He said, “At first, I was ignorant of being like, 'I need to do it my own way.'

His advice is pretty invaluable because he knows me so well as a person." He added, “He knows what gets me excited, what makes me nervous, what scares me. And then he also has so much experience in the business and with the craft. So all of his advice is catered towards me. I don't know where I'd be without it."
