He was a production assistant on two shows, including one on which his father was working. &#8220;Just regular old nepotism,&#8221; said Pine.<\/p>\n<p>Although Pine is now moderately successful, he doesn&#8217;t feel that he can yet compare to his father, <strong>Robert Pine<\/strong>. &#8220;My father has had a SAG card since 1964,&#8221; said Pine. &#8220;He was under contract at one of the last studios that had a contract system. He&#8217;s been a working actor for fifty years. He put two kids through private school. He put three people through college. And he&#8217;s never stopped working in voiceover, on stage, in film and television. That to me is success.
