It is safe to say that the "Miami Vice" actor is a force to reckon with in Hollywood, but he has proven time and time again to be a family man at heart. Over the quarantine lockdown, the dad-of-two experienced proud dad moments as he gushed over his daughters, Annalise and Corrine's achievements.

While the 11-year-old Annalise faced her piano lessons, Corrine became a part of history after winning a Creative Arts Emmy for being part of the "Good Times" reboot.
