She has very business-minded goals and there’s a way to integrate the two. If she wants a career as a performer, that’s okay. She’s studied a little and had auditions, but I’m glad that she never got a part. Ever since she was six, she’s wanted to act, but I’ve held her back. She was in a music video I directed when she was younger. I was very proud to be the first director she worked with.

Our Wild Hearts is Cambrie’s screen acting debut. We should mention that Willow is played by your daughter, Cambrie. MyĬharacter catches wild mustangs and then breaks their spirits to sell them to people to ride them. It’s about a father and a daughter getting to know each other on a ranch, and a wild mustang named Bravo who comes between them. She shows up on my doorstep-I play the father in the film-and I never even knew that I had a daughter because she was kept secret from me. Our Wild Hearts is the story of a girl named Willow who tracks down the father she never knew. Let’s talk about your new movie Our Wild Hearts on the Hallmark Movie Channel. We spoke with Ricky exclusively at The Peninsula Hotel in NYC about growing up in the spotlight, how work and family life blend organically, and how he’s an ever-evolving dad. The star of Silver Spoons and The Champ penned and directed Our Wild Hearts, his first family film starring his daughter, Cambrie.
