No one will be surprised if wee Marley Rose Hambleton-Knowles chooses a career in aviation. After all, the Wellington toddler, now 18 months old, had travelled on more than 40 flights by the time she was six months old!
It's all thanks to her parents' careers - her mother is actress Sophie Hambleton, 38, best known for playing the hilarious Carol O'Driscoll in TV's Westside for six seasons, while her father Tom Knowles, 31, is a musician/actor who recently released his debut album.
"Marley Rose must be one of the most travelled babies in the country," laughs Sophie.
The couple moved back to Wellington, where they both attended drama school, before their daughter was born.
"Tom's family is from Blenheim and my parents are based in Wellington," says Sophie, whose father is veteran Kiwi actor Peter Hambleton.
"We're so glad for their support and we couldn't travel to chase our creative dreams if it wasn't for their help."
That is especially true now Sophie is about to head to Auckland to star in the 10th series of TVNZ 1's The Brokenwood Mysteries, which starts filming soon.
She's in good company both Tom and her father Peter are about to appear on our screens this month in the ninth series of the popular murder-mystery show.
"Peter and I starred together in an episode of Brokenwood in 2015," recalls Tom. "And now our characters have been brought back for another episode. This time, it's a musical-themed episode."
Is it strange acting alongside his father-in-law?
"Not at all," says Tom. "Peter's an absolute professional. Besides, when we're on set, he's not my father-in-law - he fully embodies his character. But both Sophie and I do ask him for advice, which he's happy to give."
