Growing up, Caitlyn Melissa Murray's father, Sean Murray, and his family moved around a lot. Before he turned eight, they'd lived in Australia, London, and Singapore. His "home" was whatever base his Navy Captain father was stationed in. The family had to live in nondescript houses that were often only seen for the first time when they were right outside.

As a successful actor, Sean ensures his family is secure where they live. In March 2021, Caitlyn's father opened up about their Southern California family home to the media. The star took ten years to work on renovating the house.

Seann and his wife bought the house when they discovered they were expecting their second child, River, who comes after Caitlyn. On April 22, 2020, Sean wished his look-a-like son a happy tenth birthday, giving fans insight into when the child was born. However, we'll focus more on his bond with Caitlyn in this article.

In April 2022, Caitlyn's father proudly shared a picture of them standing together in what looked like an elevator. The actor looked over with a smile at his daughter, who faced forward with a smirk. On her torso was a "visitor" name tag for her father's show, "NCIS."

In the post's caption, Caitlyn's father revealed how happy he was to introduce his daughter, whom he called "Cay Ryan Murray," into on-screen acting on "NCIS." Using the nickname "Cay," Sean shared how she was guest-starring in their May 2, 2022, episode, and he couldn't be prouder.

When they started shooting the scene, Sean saw the image go up, and that's when it dawned on him how much he'd separated his home life from his work. Having the two lives mix left him feeling flustered. However, he still focused on helping Caitlyn through it.

He worried about her handling and being overwhelmed by everything that happened on set, but Caitlyn surpassed his expectations. The star confessed to wishing he was as cool as she is because she handled things well, leaving him proud and emotional.

Caitlyn's father even admitted to constantly having digital video or some film of him and her doing what they love together on screen. They served as a go-to reference and will always be there, something he was grateful for. Caitlyn's bond with her father extends further than their acting together.
