" 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.
