“I do not know when the last time we watched everything,” his son, actor Lewis Pullman, exclusively tells Us Weekly. “It’s weird. We really don’t sit and watch. We’ll watch something when it comes out or something, but we’re not a big TV family.”
The 68-year-old actor Casper played President Thomas Whitmore in the 1996 sci-fi adventure film, which also starred Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, Randy Quaid, Judd Hirsch, Margaret Colin and Vivica A. Fox.

“We are fighting for our right to live, to exist. And if we win this day, July 4 will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world with one voice declared: “We will not go quietly into the night!” We will not give up without a fight! We will live on! We will survive!” he declares to his team. “Today we celebrate our Independence Day!”

“I talk to [my father] before every project and from time to time as part of every project. I think it’s such a strange profession,” Lewis told Us. “And that’s why he really always has these real pearls, because he knows me so well and knows the process so well. And so he can really give me these individual tips that seem very specific and very personal. I do not know what I would do without it.”
