In April, Chris spoke toIndieWire, at one point reflecting on his dad’s prolific acting career.

“My dad’s had a hell of a career,” theWonder Womanactor said. “He got his SAG card in ‘64. Was under contract at Universal. Got paid to be an actor, got paid to take horseback riding lessons. He was onThe Virginian,Gunsmoke,The Love Boat. He was inThe Graduate. My father was inThe Graduate! When Dustin Hoffman goes to the fraternity to find out where Katharine Ross is getting married, there’s a shot of Dustin talking to some guys in a bathroom, and good old Bob Pine is there. Then they cut back to Dustin and I think my father is the one that’s answering him.”

Chris also added thatacting seemed part of his destiny, following in his father’s footsteps.

“I never had a passion for acting, acting was something that seemed to pop out of nowhere and then just took over my life. It seemed to be fated and it made a lot of sense,” he said at the time.

Additionally, Chris’ mom Gwynne Gilford was an actress too, having previously starred in 1987’sMasters of the Universe. His late grandmother Anne Gwynne was also an actress and a WWII-era pinup model, while his sister Katherine Pine has dabbled in acting as well.

“I couldn’t be prouder,” Roberttold PEOPLEback in 2009 of his son’s success. “He’s an incredibly hard worker.”
