Danny DeVito tells PEOPLE at the 11th Annual Breakthrough Prize Ceremony in Santa Monica, Calif. that it felt 'almost inevitable' that his and Rhea Perlman's three children followed them into the entertainment industry. 'They're on the set, they're home, we're talking movies,' DeVito says of his children's upbringing.
