Daniel never chats on the phone with his adoptive father, Danny, but his portrayer, Michael Graziadei, has a much cmeany relationship with his own dad, Silvio. Just to prove it, the hunky young actor even got his father's name tattooed on his wrist! "My dad isn't the kind of person who really likes tattoos," he admits. "When he came out last Christmas, he grabbed my wrist and was like, 'What the he** is that all about?' I just said, 'A lot of people either love their father or hate their father. I happen to be one who loves my father and really appreciate the upbringing you gave me, the morals you instilled in me... having your name there reminds me of that everyday, and if I'm making a decision, you're right there making it with me.' " Not surprisingly, Graziadei's dad then gave his blessing... but what about his mom? "I don't have my mom's name on me," he admits with a grin. "People are like, 'Is your dad dead?' I'm like, 'No, why?' And they're like, 'Oh, your mom is going to be so [ticked off!]' "
