West’s first TV role was fittingly in an episode of the revival of her dad’s big show The X-Files back in 2018. That same year, she was also in the TV movie Sick. In 2019, she appeared in The Report and played a witch named Whitley in a few episodes of the fourth season of the Syfy show, The Magicians. “Smiling because tomorrow night is the season premiere of season 4 of @magicianssyfy,” she captioned an Instagram post about the part. “I had such an amazing time working on the show and can’t wait for you guys to meet this bada*** character this season :)” In February 2020, West shared a Deadline report that she would be co-starring in the pilot of the ’90s-set HBO Max show Vegas High. However, this February, the same outlet also reported that HBO Max would not be moving forward with this pilot, which seems to be officially dead. However, West also has parts in two upcoming films, A Mouthful of Air and Linoleum, both of which are expected to release later this year. West has said that her dad has been behind her 100% as she embarks on her own acting career. “Thank you for the constant inspiration, support, and love—for sharing with me your passion for baseball, literature, music and now acting,” West wrote on Instagram in honor of her father’s birthday in 2019.

Speaking to The Guardian in February 2016, David explained how being in challenging industries has affected how he approaches parenting. “That’s what I worry about with my kids all the time. It’s not so much [a question of] are they going to win, but are they going to come back after failing,” he said. “You want them to remain vulnerable and real, so losing is going to hurt. Failing is going to hurt. But you really want to teach them somehow.” For more celebrity and entertainment news sent right to your inbox, sign up for our daily newsletter. In the same interview, the actor reflected on how strange it can be to be a parent in Hollywood. “You know, I get asked, ‘Are your kids proud of you?’, and I’m like, ‘I don’t understand that question,’” he told The Guardian. “I don’t care.

While Leoni has starred in films like Spanglish and The Family Man and led Madam Secretary for several years, she hasn’t racked up as many credits as some of her peers. However, in a February 2015 interview with More, per ABC News, she explained that she very purposely put her children ahead of her career. “People tell me I’ve never really made it,” Leoni said. “They say, ‘You don’t have an Oscar.’ There’s not an accolade in Hollywood that could replace time with my kids. At this stage of my life, it’s not about contentment…It’s about finding something more. As I tell my daughter, ‘Hear your voice first.’” For an update on another former celeb couple and their family, check out See Sean Penn and Robin Wright’s Kids All Grown Up.
