Zander, 27, has followed in his father’s footsteps into the entertainment industry and works in his production company 3AD.
Speaking to PEOPLE about their relationship, Daniel said, “I love working with my son.
“I think it’s a nice way for us to stay in touch because it’s not always easy when people have busy lives.
“My family is close and so it’s nice that we have one more point of connection.”
Daniel’s youngest son Jackson, 22, accompanied him to the premiere and looked dapper dressed in a classic black suit and white t-shirt.
Jackson is a model and TikTok star who currently boasts nearly 170,000 followers on the app.
He often posts videos where he shares his day to day life living in New York.
Daniel is best known for his series regular roles on Lost and Hawaii 5-0 and now stars in Butterfly, with its pilot episode airing next week.
The show centers around David Jung, a former U.S. intelligence operative who lives in South Korea and whose past comes back to haunt him when an agent is sent to kill him.
The series will also feature Netflix star Reina Hardesty and Coyote Ugly actress Piper Perabo.
The Good Doctor producer is always learning from his two sons especially when it comes to internet slang.
During a March 2024 appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Daniel shared a humorous moment about discovering he had been dubbed a “zaddy” online.
He said, “The first time I saw that, I thought it must be a typo.
“I don’t know why there’s a ‘z’ in front of there… I heard it on the internet, that was the first time.”
It wasn’t until his kids stepped in that things clicked.
He said. “And then my kids kind of told me, ‘Oh, it kind of means this and that,’ and I was like, ‘Oh.’ “
