Nope. Many comedy actors who came up through second city, etc are not and sane with many Canadian born actors like brendon Fraser. |
Me too. With last names like Quaid and Hawke you *really* didn’t suspect a connection?? |
I'm saying that's not nepo baby. That's having family in the industry. |
I think that's kinda the same thing... |
Not if no one knows about them. |
No it's not. Nepo babies have star-level parents. Not obscure ones. A father who is a movie star can make things happen for you. A father who is, like, a lighting assistant on the set, can finagle an invitation for you but you'd have to do the rest. |
All of the examples given were nepo babies. None of their family members were lighting directors. They were successful actors and producers with agents and connections. No one thinks Meghan Markle was a nepo baby. I know about everyone mentioned on this thread except Keifer Sutherland's daughter. |
This probably doesn’t quite count as a nepo baby, but Jason Sudeikis is the nephew of George Wendt (Norm from Cheers). |
Also not nepo babies, but related to each other: Melissa McCarthy and Jenny McCarthy are cousins. |
And cousin Jason Schwartzman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Schwartzman |
Keep ‘‘em coming. These are all news to me. |
I had no idea Billie Lourd was Carrie Fisher's daughter when she first hit the scene, even though her character on Scream Queens constantly wore ear muffs to resemble Princess Leia's famous hairstyle from A New Hope. |
Tom Cruise and William Mapother (Ethan on Lost) are cousins.
So are Snoop and Brandy. |
Natasha and Joely Richardson |
