Since leaving NCIS, Michael has been prioritizing family time with his wife Bojana, their two children Olivia and Liam, and his 26-year-old son August from his previous marriage to Amelie Heinle.
Speaking to People magazine, the actor explained why he decided to put family first when his children were at the "critical" ages of four and two-and-a-half.
"The kids are very excited to have me around, mostly because I'm wrapped around their little fingers," he revealed.
Shedding a light on his role as a father, Michael went on to say: "I'm just a sucker and I'm trying very hard to be authority dad…
"As a lot of working parents know, when you're not around a lot and then you're with your kids, it's very hard to just come in and be the strict one because then you're just an [expletive]... You don't want to be too soft."
Michael appears to be relishing all the precious moments with his kids. Recalling one particularly heartwarming memory, the star said: "They just have some extraordinary things going on in their lives and they have great questions for me about why frogs and crickets make sort of the same sound."
