My experience doing all my emotional scenes, I’ve never felt so safe and supported. It’s really allowing me to go to a deeper place."

She’s not raised by David, however, because he and Sherry Williams who is Katie’s mother ended their relationship early, and the young Cassidy was raised by her mother and step-father. Even though her dad is absent in her life, the reflection of her paternal grandfather can still be seen in her own face, and his smile lives on in hers.
