Tony Goldwyn is an acting powerhouse but he’s also a proud dad to two children: daughters Anna and Tess.

Best known for his roles inScandalandLaw & Order, his big break came in the filmGhost, and landing that role was a family affair. In an interview withTodayin 2019, Tony shared that his wife, Jane Musky, was the production designer on the film and encouraged him to go after an acting role in the movie.

“That’s how I got the part, I was a semi-employed actor, struggling, and Jane was this big fancy production designer,” he said, going on to explain that his wife had nudged him to go for the role, leading Tony, in turn, to pursue his agent about the part and land an audition. With landing a major role came another huge life change — the couple decided they were ready to start a family.

“That’s how Anna, our oldest daughter (came about). We finally were like, ‘Ok, I guess we can have kids now cause I have a job. It looks like I’ll get another one,’ " he said in theTodayinterview.

Here is everything to know about Tony Goldwyn’s two children, Anna and Tess.

Because you know me perfectly. You’re not just my better half, but every piece of me.”

Tony previously said he will be a “mess” at Anna’s wedding. He’s concerned he won’t be able to make it through his emotions on the big day.

“That’s what I’m most nervous about, is being able to get through it. Because I just get very emotional regarding my children,” he told PEOPLE in May 2024. “From the time my kids were young, they’re like, ‘Dad, you’re just not going to make it through your wedding speeches. You know that.’ "
