Trained as a commercial artist, Pierce has his first gallery show scheduled for 2023 – and enjoys painting with younger son Paris.

Admitting that he is “full of pride” to see his Parisian paint, the actor shared how it was the death of his first wife Cassandra that prompted him to paint more like a coping mechanism.
