Bill Pulmman walked on the Oscars red carpet on Sunday.

Bill said he was surprised when his son, who starred in "The Testament of Ann Lee" and "Thunderbolts*" last year, took up acting.

"He was a shy guy. He wasn't an exhibitionist... but he grew into it, and I couldn't be prouder," he said of Lewis.

The father and son duo will present the Oscar for best film editing.

Bill said the duo has had offers for more opportunities to work together on the big screen.

"We've had a few things come up. We had a great chance to do it last fall. We did a Space Balls sequel," he said.
