“I was her ‘chaperone’ and I can’t begin to tell you the emotions I felt standing there watching,” he wrote in the caption.

“To be standing behind the camera, watching my 7 year old daughter act for the first time in front of the camera, brought so many feelings back to when I first started acting and it felt so surreal to be there witnessing it all again but this time, as a parent,” he continued.
