“Never say never, but I pretty well concluded that this would be it for me in terms of acting, and [I’ll] move towards retirement after this ’cause I’ve been doing it since I was 21."

The award-winning actor, whose career spans 60 years, has seven grandchildren. One of them is David James' son, Dylan.

FOLLOWING HIS FAMILY'S FOOTSTEPS

Dylan’s profession appears to have been inevitable as he grew up in a family of actors and filmmakers.

He turned into a writer and director, following in his family’s path. He is best known for his 2017 documentary, "My Trip to Miami."

Dylan has Dyslexia and is one of the subjects of the 2012 documentary, "The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia," which was directed by his dad.

Many people noticed that he bears a strong resemblance to his legendary grandfather, Robert, who got pinched by the law several times in his youthful days.

After completing the movie "The Old Man & the Gun" last year, Robert decided to retire from acting. When the news outlet, Entertainment Weekly, asked if he would also stop directing, he said:

“Never say never, but I pretty well concluded that this would be it for me in terms of acting, and [I’ll] move towards retirement after this ’cause I’ve been doing it since I was 21."
