Douglas was a guest on Ellen, when he told the host, "He wants to be an actor, there's no question about it. He came to me the other day, and said, 'Dad, look, I was president of the class this last year, I made the honour roll, you saw me in (musical) Oliver... so maybe you could throw me a bone?' (get me an acting job)."
He added, "The best part of it is that you learn the (celebrity) lifestyle and the hard part is establishing your own identity. I know when I started with my own father, they (critics) find the similarities and you have to try to find your own identity... but I think he's (Dylan) gonna be in fine shape. He's a really good actor."
