Patrick and Falconer welcomed Daniel on October 20, 1967.

“I loved Daniel when he was little, and when he was a baby, I loved holding him. It was fantastic,” Patrick told PEOPLE of his firstborn’s childhood.

Daniel grew up in the world of theater — his father is an actor, and his mother is a dancer and choreographer. He said Grit podcast in 2021 that “his parents’ dinner parties are, now, a who’s who of British theatrical aristocracy.”

In 2012, he spoke with the UK Metro newspaper and said his dad “was very good at exposing his kids to the world of art,” playing classical music for them and making sure the books he wanted them to read were available at home.

This extended to rock music as well, as Patrick gave his son Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here to listen to instead of the first record Daniel bought the day before, Sham 69’s Children are united.

Daniel attended a country school outside Stratford-upon-Avon, England, where his father worked at The Shakespeare Theater Company, and then The Latymer School in west London, which had a “thespian bent”, he said Metro. Years started by his father Star Trek: The Next GenerationDaniel began drama school at the California Institute of the Arts.

Like his famous father, Daniel is also an actor. Although he has since returned to England, said Daniel Grit that he had “spent half my life in the United States” and that he had “sort of adopted the attitudes of both countries towards acting.”

“This industry and the fact that we’re both in it opens up all kinds of bizarre circumstances,” Daniel said USA Today. “The lives we lead can be a little funny. My upbringing was not typical because my mom and dad came home at 5 and dinner was on the table at 6.”

Daniel’s first role came in the 1986 TV miniseries Shaka Zulu. He has acted in numerous series, TV movies and films, including the 1993 Detonator, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit in 2001 and Silent witness 2020, as well as plays on and off-Broadway and in London’s West End and at The Royal Shakespeare Theater and The National Theatre.

Patrick said The Independent in 2009 that he was “horrified” when Daniel said he wanted to act, but admitted there was some guilt about it, explaining: “I could have been a better parent when my kids were young. I was just obsessed with my work and everything else took second place.”

Daniel appeared in three projects with his famous father: the 1993 thriller Death train2015 Starz sitcom Blunt Talk and Star Trek: The Next Generation. In the latter, which aired in 1992, Daniel played Batai, the son of Patrick’s character, in the penultimate episode of season 5, “The Inner Light”.

They also attended red carpet events together, including the 1999 film premiere The talented Mr. Ripley in Los Angeles, the 2004 Tony Awards and opening night after party Life in the theater in New York in 2010.

He is an actor and co-host Foxhole Companiona podcast exploring the cinematic history of World War II, with Simon Rance. On his X (formerly Twitter) profile, he describes himself as a “Leeds United fan” and a “constantly intolerant simpleton”.

Daniel has been married to actress Mary Stillwaggon Stewart since July 1999. They have two children, a daughter and a son.

Patrick and Falconer’s daughter, Sophie Alexandra Stewart, was born in 1972.

“When my daughter was born, it happened to be at a time when my business was slowing down,” Patrick told PEOPLE. “For the first two years of her life, I was very much a carer because her mother was a great dancer and appeared in musicals. I took over mum and dad’s work and I loved it. It was wonderful.”

Sophie leads a more private life than her parents and brother, but has made several red carpet appearances over the years. She joined her dad, as well as Daniel and Patrick’s then-girlfriend Neuss, at the 44th Annual Drama Desk Awards in New York in 1999, and was her dad’s companion at the film’s 2003 premiere. 2 Fast 2 Fierce and the 2009 Laurence Olivier Awards, both in London. She and her husband Wayne also came to the premiere of the film Star Trek: Nemesis in London in 2002.

Sophie and Daniel were the ones encouraging and “teasing” Patrick about his initial speech Star Trek audition, saying that after he got the part, he thought “they were pretty proud that the dad was Captain Jean-Luc Picard.”

“They thought it was hysterical that I even auditioned,” the famous actor told PEOPLE in 2022. “They said, ‘Dad, we watched [the original] every night!’ I said, ‘Guys wearing colored shirts?’ That was all I knew about it.”

Sophie has two children, a son and a daughter.
