Dan eventually split with his wife and moved into assisted living. "When he lost his ability to walk he gave up on life," Chris said of his dad, a contractor who was respected for being a "hard worker" and a "good problem solver" back in the day. "Men of his ilk are defined by their ability to provide physically for their family, and when that's taken away, that was a joke to him."
As Chris found success on the big and small screens, Dan watched him from afar. "In his own way he let me know that he was proud of me," the actor recalled. "He didn't really react in any way, one way or another, but he was definitely proud. If I was on TV, he watched everything I was in. So, it felt like I was able to communicate with him through doing work that was on TV."
