The actor stopped by "Today" on Wednesday to talk about his recent Golden Globes nomination ... but the topic turned to his daughter's success -- thanks in no small part to her role as Robin Buckley in "Stranger Things."

There are plenty of folks out there who follow their parents into the family business ... the only difference is Ethan and Maya's work involves a lot more red carpets than most!
