It’s never been my intention to influence my daughter into film, but I realised I did in a way. I listened to many of her interviews abroad, and she often said that I had a big impact on her. She watched me over the years, as a little girl, going to auditions, and our whole family would watch my shows on TV. She told herself, ‘If my father can do it, surely I can do it too.'Alfredo Nicdao- Filipino-Australian actor
