“My dad was crying for the past few days because he lost something that he’d worked for his whole life which was his house and that is something that he started more than 40 years ago building one room after another one after another one," the actor said. "When he learned that the house was down he said to himself there’s nothing else left to live for. He has his kids and his family but for him that was one thing that really meant a lot to him.... That was very difficult for him to digest.”
