I wanted my dad to be proud of me, and I fell into acting because there wasn't anything else I could do, and in it I found a discipline that I wanted to keep coming back to, that I love and I learn about every day.

My dad still calls me and makes sure I'm taking my vitamins.

I'm gonna be the best dad that ever lived. I'll have a ranch with a race car track and a golf course.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.

My dad had been shortstop when he was in college, and you know, when you're a kid, you want to be just like your dad.
