I come from an artistic family. My dad's an actor, my mother's an actress, my sister's an actress. So I kind of grew up in that kind of environment. Oddly enough, I never really knew about my parents' work. I've seen small clips of it, but we never actually spoke about the business.
Portia Doubleday

I know Malcolm [Subban] and myself, we're a little bit older now, but we don't know everything.

What better place to get it than from your parents?
P. K. Subban
