Show more [on researching his role for 'Dolphin Tale'] I was just blown away by the humanity of these people.

She was from New York, a Jewish background, and met my dad when they were working for the government in Morocco. And they got married in 1953, moved back to New Orleans. My dad was from Mobile, Alabama, and then grew up in New Orleans. So they came back to New Orleans. They both were lawyers. And they had a record store in the '50s, about 10 years before I was born, to sort of make money to put themselves through law school. And by the time I came around in '67, they were both practicing law. And my mom and I were super tight. I think she really wanted me to be an artist, you know?

And my dad, although he was very busy politically, always found the time to support me, to set the right example for me and [my older sister]. Hide
