Dylan Douglas may not be following in his parent's footsteps as an actor, but he's clearly picked up his dad's eye for politics as he announces an exciting new opportunity. The son of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones will be joining SiriusXM to present a brand new weekly limited series.

The 24-year-old is set to regularly engage with his social media followers, having them submit questions and topics they'd like him to ask leaders about.

From the start of forever wars, the first Black president, culture wars, and now a second chance at a first female president, my generation has lived through some of the most transformative and tumultuous times in our history; and it's only gonna get crazier."
"I wanna take you through it. On my show, I won’t just talk you through the news of the day – I’ll underscore the larger issues spinning our country out of control," he added.

No doubt, his parents will be proud of his brand new venture as his father is particularly active politically. Michael is a registered Democrat who has donated money to the campaigns of Barack Obama, Christopher Dodd, Al Franken, Ed Markey, Michael Bloomberg and Joe Biden.
Michael is also a major supporter of gun control, and has been since the death of John Lennon in 1980. He has even advocated for nuclear disarmament, being appointed as UN Messenger of Peace by then-Secretary General Kofi Annan.
